The Wilderness Within the Mountains: Part 1

I AM MINISTRIES by Pastor Reginald

The Conversation:

Hello everyone, today I’m going to speak on seven (7) points that need be expressed, made aware of, and considered within self, prior to jumping in the space of I AM MINISITRIES, and for that matter any organization that one may feel more drawn to.

I’m doing this for a couple of reasons, first:

To slow down the ideological nuance of wanting to be within the space or company of I AM MINISTRIES. That is, to address ego, intentionality, and that sense of newfound excitement.

Provide clarity between you and I, such that expectations can be met, understood, and hopefully unified per the direction God bestowed within your heart. With that, remember I AM MINISTRIES at our least, is a reminder such that (if need be) course correction can happen with or without us. Therefore, the underline goal is for you to find your community in Christ. Again, I’m not asking you to join. I’m asking for a conversation, such that spiritual discernment can take place.

To remind people what the bigger picture is, because as I’ve said before, “I AM MINISTRIES is built different.”

What I’m mean by that is, I AM MINISTRIES is an anointed by God, clarified fellowshipping lifework, which provides direction and spiritual clarity to others in seek. Meaning, we are not the indoctrinated, cookie-cutter religious business most innocent souls fall for, with regard to seeking foundation in Christ.

So, let’s get into this and move mountains by addressing the three (3) main issues I’ve encountered thus far, since officially opening up.

Having said that, I’ll give a bit more content.

I’ve had many people drop off from I AM MINISTRIES within the last two years, because they didn’t understand or accept how different I as a pastor, and this ministry is.

So, those barriers which I called mountains prior, are within the beginning of the ideological separation process of dropping off. Which is expected, and totally fine, because like I said “we’re just (if need be) a course correcting reminder, such that you can hopefully find your connection in Christ, which “God bestowed within your heart” already, thereby revealing within your clarified temple, your destined path through God; not I AM MINISTRIES.

Know that we’re not trying to establish a business off of that which you don’t know intrinsically within your spirit and then claim that we are leaders guiding you to the kingdom mindset.

That’s why, within my introduction to this ministry, I’m not reciting bible scriptures, this is not Sunday bible school for toddlers. Look around, there’s much larger issues to be cleared first, as the Holy Spirit anointed me to be aware of that is, making way for the allowance of clarity and fellowship to come to pass.

Now, if all I’ve said thus far is confusing, hopefully what I’m about to say can shed some light or to the least, provide some sense of clarity, with regard to understanding self, possible disconnect, or why there may be a stumbling block, upon the path of righteousness.

So again, let’s get into this:

Mountain #1 – Epistemic injustice: This is when a speaker, interpreter, or someone in the position as a knower, (say pastor) is unfairly doubted, biasedly omitted, or ignored, because there in lies untrust or prejudice within the seeker of guidance.

Barrier #2 – Cognitive Dissonance: This is when someone feels a mental challenge or discomfort when their (preconditioned) beliefs either don’t match their actions or when two contradictory ideas are held simultaneously. This is a mental stumbling block.

Bias #3 – Spite: This is when someone’s emotional baggage is so heavy, they within their perspective, may reflect envy, ill will or hatred on someone else simply for doing their own thing whether it be their personal interests, ambitions or even anointing.

Now, that’s just surface level cognitive behavioral patterns; it’s not an exhausted list, and definitely not the worst. Only, for some, these misunderstandings create barriers, which often hinder the process of clarity, and therefore become a distraction upon the path.

So let me try to sum this up a bit (per my opinion and lived experiences).

People have hastily tried to jump into I AM MINISTRIES with what appears in their perspectives said – “God Blessed Enthusiasm,” that is, they were on fire for the lord and wanted to be fed but was looking for a small church, without all the drama, self-reflection or expectations. So, they were thrilled when I said in my second and third (off script) video “keep your tithes, you can’t buy your way into this,” but what they soon encountered was not the opportunity they assumed would be.

Which is why I referenced the previous barriers. And trust, I’m not being judgmental but more so, (as referenced) simply highlighting particular attributes identified through prudency, lived experience, and spiritual awareness; thus, noting mannerisms displayed within people who are hope-filled with intention. And thereby, acknowledging the potentially of an underlined reason for this excitement, which to be fair could simply be the season of grace they’re currently in.

So, when I’m approached within the excitement of what appears to be an opportunist, I within wisdom take into consideration, they may not fully understand or have become aware of their (potential) emotional trauma reflective of that intrinsic desire to be connected. That is, they seek to be within company, should drastically be slowed down, such that discernment can take place, per one’s level of need and or acceptance (if any).

Consider this part One of what I’ll call The Wilderness Within the Mountains. – Pastor Reginald

Worthy of Reverence

November 4, 2025

We’re used to living in fear. No, not just we, but all. We expect it, we prepare for it and often, we create it as a measure of our behaviorisms, under the guise of survival. No matter what side one is born on, fear is experienced. Either through what is taught, perpetuated or accepted, so much so, insecurity hardens our hearts far before the epiphany renders there are no sides. For we all are in this together. But oh, that conditioned lust for fear, hexed within separation, spawning within small voice, wielding deception as motivation. Under the cloak of denial, we are of apathy, and apparently, matters not, for fear has become our bread, and the deceiver; our choice of drink.

No? Then why are we so easily distracted? Is it because we fear the unknown, or do we crave its deception?

Why instead of loving our neighbors, do we see them through the lens of media propaganda? Is it because it’s safer to judge from a distance rather than extend an olive branch? Know that that which wants to be revered is the deceiver, constantly at work beckoning our insecurities, such as reinforce the fear we’ve come to accept.

We lend to fear so much; we try to characterize everything, such to fit within the ideological comforts of what we believe is normal or, even more exciting – what we fear is potentially threatening. In this, within the smallness of our understandings, we attempt to discern that which is friend, foe or even futile. Why? When even we don’t know who we – truly are. Because if we did, we wouldn’t be so easily motivated by the casting of fear upon us. We’ve become so distracted by design; we’re in awe of fearing everyone else. So much so, we’ve failed to identify the source. Who did this to us, who told you to fear all, over the one (and the way), who is truly worthy of our reverence. – Pastor Reginald

Find Your Community! Because when you “no,” you’ll know.

I’m a prudent man of mystery. As such, I’ve found my life’s work to be a leader by example and of humanitarian principles, but not for the befuddlement of creating online followers, their likewise connections, or platformed constituents. Rather, my journey extends to others by way of awakening leaders who either lost their way or simply need spiritual reinvigoration. Thus, by facilitating strategic spirit-led goal achievements for the betterment of life’s true purposes. This includes anyone who’s seeking the good in foundation building, communities and or leaders of (trustworthy) establishments, collaborators of ministry, confident/prudent mentors, and positive networkers – not worldly influencers for distraction or monetary gain.

For those who are seeking a paradigm shift (per higher/critical thinking consciousness in purpose), I AM one of many spiritually and methodically positioned in plain sight, to be of that resource. For those seeking (and are ready) to course correct back upon their destined path, not the suggested ideologies of what others think you should be. So, find me, reach out, because that which needs to be discussed – will not be considered on this (3rd + party) “social media platform.”

Think my goal is to funnel your curiosity towards the direction of my landing page? Maybe. Thinking I’m trying to up-sale you on a 7, 6, or even fewer steps to becoming the world’s richest, most successful entrepreneurial CEO/business he/she founders of new enterprise? Absolutely Not. If that’s your ambition, push or drive, to each their own but starkly, we have enough of that ideological guru/political acronymic generative suit and tie imposters already, and look at the debacle our country is in (hint, void of seed).

My purpose is not to exploit your plans, conversations or business ventures. In other words, our communion is unique, whereas I’ll not use your conversation or insights as a restructured marketing tool, to validate my projected worth on others. Infact, I’m not here to enhance your business or money marketing presence at all. Nor, do I declare I’m an expert, empowered by countless certifications with years of proven dedicated experience, shrouded in ambiguity, that’ll upon YOUR monetary compensation, guarantee my intellectual savviness will skyrocket your social media presence and or (fill in the blank _____ ) plans, in hopes to enhance ones sense of ideological grandeur – in any way!

In case there is any confusion, my focus is centered on the attainment and maintaining of actual face to face interactions, building communities which encompasses spiritual growth, and the use of awe-inspiring maneuverability ways to overcomming the obstacles of wiles. Why else would I painstakingly write all of this out, forsaking the lackadaisical urge to just push a button and allow a generative acronym to write for me e.g., nothing artificial speak for me. With that said, I suspect soon this, and other social media platforms will firstly start to censor and seize my info/pages, hold my media accounts per monetary ransom, and ultimately delete me completely for non-agreement of the new acronym terms coming to a screen near us! Yes, this will eventually apply to all who will not cede or pay for past, present or future platform privileges.

Again, I AM one of many, who’s life’s work is NOT to build hierarchical status, authoritative presence or an ideological sense of self, off your proprietary needs or ambitions but rather, lead by example in such a way, that by your own time and curiosity, inspire the way, in which to unveil the greatness of purpose – already embedded within you. – Reginald
