Tonight’s teaching centered on the principle that favor is not accidental — it is cultivated through humility, integrity, and right heart posture. Favor flows from God, but it is stewarded through our character and how we represent Him before people.
One of my biggest takeaways was the call to remain humble and grateful — for what I have, what I know, and even what I don’t yet understand. Humility keeps me positioned to be used by God. Gratitude anchors my heart so that pride never replaces dependence on Him. Every blessing, opportunity, and open door comes from God alone, not from my own striving.
Another key takeaway was the importance of integrity and heart posture. Favor is sustained when my heart stays clean, my motives stay pure, and my actions align with God’s character. Bishop Brown emphasized that God looks for people He can trust — people who will honor the position, the influence, and the access He gives. Favor is not assumed; it is cultivated.
We also discussed how Jesus modeled this strategy. Throughout Scripture, Jesus walked in humility, obedience, and wisdom, and because of that, He grew in favor with both God and man. This principle is repeated throughout Scripture and is meant to be applied practically — not just admired spiritually.

Where do I currently experience favor — with God, with people, or both?
I believe I am presently experiencing favor with both God and man.
In my personal life, God has continually provided for me and sustained me, even in seasons that didn’t make sense on the surface. I have a powerful testimony regarding my job situation — how I was still able to receive a bonus even after being let go. That experience was unexpected and confusing, not just for me, but even for the people involved. Yet there was a clear concern and care shown toward me that allowed me to reap what I had sown into the company, despite not meeting certain performance expectations.
That situation reminded me that favor is real, tangible, and often unexplainable. It wasn’t manipulation or entitlement — it was God’s hand at work, moving through people. It confirmed for me that when you walk with integrity, humility, and a surrendered heart, God can cause favor to follow you — even in difficult transitions.
I leave tonight encouraged to: • Stay humble • Guard my heart posture • Walk in gratitude • Represent God well • Trust that favor will continue to create access as I remain obedient
I am grateful for this season of learning, reflection, and activation, and I look forward to continuing the journey through the chapters, discussions, and workbook activations.
Pancake thanks for the recap and for sharing your testimony with us. It's a blessing to read and very encouraging. God is amazing and provides in ways that are sometimes unfathomable.
