Life doesn’t always follow our script. We dream, we plan, we plot the course, and then—detour. Delay. Disruption. Denial. But what if the long way around wasn’t a setback, but a setup? What if the closed doors and wrong turns were actually divine protection, and the path you never would’ve chosen became the one that changed everything for the better?

While we recognize the cultural impact of the Harry Potter stories, today we explore something even more real and sacred: The Favor of Presence—the divine gift of having people who don’t just show up for your celebrations, but who stay for your sorrow. In life, there are moments when the pain feels unbearable, the weight too heavy, the grief too deep. Yet in those seasons, God often sends a special kind of favor—not in the form of solutions, but in the form of people.

Belief is more than encouragement. It’s a form of favor that breathes life into dormant dreams, ignites courage, and validates worth. And when someone—be it a teacher, a friend, a sister, a mother, or a mentor—believes in you, they are reflecting the very nature of God. Because God believed in us first.

On this sacred day, we explore a profound truth: the favor of sacrifice—how both divinity and humanity are revealed through the willingness to give everything for the sake of others.

Today, we honor the sacred and revolutionary power of the spoken word.

We reflect on both a pivotal moment in American history and a powerful legacy that still echoes today.

Today, we honor the favor of vision—how God places purpose, foresight, and bold dreams in the hearts of women and how they lead faithfully..

Whether connected by blood, friendship, mentorship, or shared purpose, sisterhood is a divine gift and a manifestation of God's favor.

Women are the pillars of faith, strength, and love in families, carrying the weight of generations while paving the way for the future.

God’s favor grants influence, and throughout history, we see how women have used that influence to impact the world in powerful ways.

Today marks the 28th and final day of Black History Month, a time dedicated to celebrating the rich history, achievements, and contributions

Today's post is deidicated to reflecting on the resilience, courage, + perseverance of those who have paved the way for future generations.

Love is more than romantic gestures; it is the foundation of strong communities, movements, and faith.

We recognize that the strength our ancestors carried was not just their own—it was the favor of God at work in their lives.

In a world filled with uncertainty, stress, and daily challenges, God’s favor grants us a peace that surpasses all understanding.

Patience is not just about waiting—it’s about how we wait, and more importantly, who we trust while we wait.

Forgiveness is not always easy, but it is a powerful gift from God that enables us to experience freedom, peace, and His abundant favor.

As we step into a new year, filled with dreams, ambitions, and opportunities, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of life.

Happy New Year and welcome to the first Favor Fridays with Tony of 2025!

Time is one of the most precious gifts God has given us.
