If you’re waiting for a handout, you’ll miss your breakthrough. In this episode, Mikel reminds you that sometimes the door you’re praying for is the one you need to build.
Remember the early days—the long nights, the silent work, the grit it took to start? In this episode, Mikel takes you back to the foundation of belief and hard work, and challenges the entitlement mindset that can creep in when we expect results without effort. With Proverbs 14:23 as the anchor, he unpacks the difference between dreaming and building. God isn't a genie—and breakthrough rarely comes without effort. This episode will reignite your ownership, push you out of passivity, and remind you that the doors you’re praying for might be the ones you need to build yourself.

Go back to the beginning—the stretch season where you chose belief over comfort. In this episode, Mikel challenges us to lay down entitlement and pick up ownership. No one owes you anything. And the doors you’re praying for? You might just have to build them. Anchored in Proverbs 14:23, he reminds us that hard work brings profit, while talk alone leads nowhere. God isn’t a genie—He honors the builders. So stop dreaming and start doing. The work may be hard, but the reward will be earned.
