On this bonus episode of The Walk Of Life podcast, Cheryl Thibault is joined by Cheryl Boone to talk about her journey as well as the chapter she wrote for the book, ‘Disrupting The Status Quo’, called ‘A Leap Of Faith’.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Sometimes we sit and we think too much about what we want to do or what we’re going to do. It’s then that the voices come and tell you that you can’t do it. Sometimes you actually start listening to those voices that are coming to keep you from moving forward and doing the things that god called you to do. I would hear the voices – I wouldn’t tell anyone – but I would sometimes entertain them to the point where I wouldn’t move forward to do what God called me to do.
• The Bible tells us to pull down strongholds, pulling down every thought and every imagination that exalts itself above the word and the knowledge of god. Because I know the word, when the thoughts begin to come, as a Christian woman, it is my job to pull those thoughts down because I know those thoughts are not from god. It doesn’t stop the thoughts from coming but it charges me to do what I know to do, and that’s to pull down every thought.
• I’ve been writing songs for years, god has gifted my songs since I was a young woman. I didn’t have a gift or a talent, I would just hear it – the songs and the lyrics. I hear it in my spirit because I hear it from within. I get quiet before the lord and all of a sudden I start hearing words and I start writing, later I come back after I’ve heard everything to perfect everything that I heard.
• When I connected with Dr Sonya and the women at Disrupting The Status Quo, it was as if the baby inside of me began to leap. When we came together it was like a wind at our back or an opening that took place inside of me to complete some things that god had already given that I hadn’t gone forth with. Divine connections started taking place and I started meeting people who could help me with things and it was almost as if everything that I started putting in my hand had a motion going. It literally was the wind in my back that caused me to move forward, it’s amazing!

BEST MOMENTS
‘The Bible talks about the mind being a battlefield and the enemy comes to put targets or darts of thoughts in your mind even to convince you to the point that it’s you.’
‘I am who I am.’
‘I was concerned someone would steal my music. I was in a bad place then, though from outside I didn’t appear to be in a bad place because I’m singing praise and worship in the church. I'm being about God's business, but there was a part of me that was afraid to take the next step of where god needed me to go. It was a battle from within.’
‘I do believe now is my turn, I do believe now I’m having divine connections, I do believe now doors are opening.’
