  • Sent | A Spoken Word Invitation for Face to Face
    Mar 13 2026

    Sent is a spoken word message and invitation connected to the Face to Face gatherings.


    This piece explores something many people quietly carry: regret, the feeling of being behind, and the belief that past mistakes have disqualified them from purpose. Through reflection and testimony, the message challenges that assumption and reframes the story many of us tell about our lives.


    The idea behind Sent is simple: your past may not be the thing that disqualifies you — it may be the very thing God intends to use.


    This message now serves as an opening moment for the Face to Face gatherings, live worship experiences built around spoken word, music, testimony, and honest encounter. These gatherings are designed to create space where people can reflect, reconnect with God, and begin to see their story differently.


    The first gatherings will take place in South Carolina:


    📍 Anderson, SC — April 17

    📍 Charleston / Moncks Corner, SC — April 18


    Additional venue details and event information will be shared soon.

  • The Throne is Too Heavy Part 2: The Door and The Dance (A Christian Spoken Word)
    Jan 22 2026

    THE THRONE IS TOO HEAVY

    A 3-Part Podcast Series


    Part 2: The Door & The Dance


    Who gets in… and what happens once you’re inside?


    For centuries, Paul and James have been placed on opposite sides of an argument—as if one preached grace and the other preached pressure.

    But they were never enemies.


    They were guards.


    In this second chapter of The Throne Is Too Heavy, we step into a single room with two watchmen standing in different places—one at the door, one on the floor—both protecting the same sacred truth.


    Paul stands at the entrance, holding the door open wide, refusing to let grace be turned into a ladder or faith into a transaction.

    You don’t earn your way in.

    You don’t perform your way in.

    You don’t clean yourself up before you belong.


    James stands inside the room, watching believers who know the words but have stopped moving.

    Because faith that never touches your hands eventually dies in your mouth.

    Belief was never meant to be a badge—it was meant to be a transformation.


    This episode explores:

    • Why grace must be guarded at the door

    • Why faith must be lived once you’re inside

    • How belief can become stagnant without obedience

    • And why the Bible isn’t divided—people are


    Set again to a gentle, reflective soundscape, this is not a debate to win or a doctrine to weaponize.

    It’s an invitation to enter honestly… and live faithfully.


    If you’ve been standing outside, convinced you don’t belong…

    The door is open.


    If you’ve been standing inside, convinced belief is enough…

    Let it move you.


    Two guards.

    One door.

    One room.


    Faith saves you.

    And faith changes you.


    Come in.

    Then dance.

  • Mirror
    Jan 16 2026

    Have you ever looked your SOUL in the mirror?


    This episode invites you to slow down and meet yourself again — not through the world’s reflection, but through the eyes of God. It’s a moment of stillness where the mirror stops reflecting and starts revealing.


    Through raw reflection and spiritual truth, I share what happens when we strip away what the world has layered on us — and we see the image that God designed from the very beginning.


    🎙️ Written and voiced by Deryl Richardson, founder of D.R. Ministries Inc.


    Listen. Reflect. Be reminded of who you really are.

  • The Throne Is Too Heavy Part 1–Between Two Gardens (A Christian Spoken Word)
    Jan 15 2026

    THE THRONE IS TOO HEAVY

    Between Two Gardens — A 3-Part Podcast

    Come home. Put it down.


    Part 1: Two Sons. Two Gardens. One Weight.


    Most people think the story begins with a rule.

    A tree. A boundary. A command.


    But it doesn’t.


    It begins with a Father… and a son.


    In this opening chapter of The Throne Is Too Heavy, we walk slowly through two gardens—Eden and Gethsemane—and discover the moment humanity picked up a weight it was never designed to carry: the burden of defining life without God.


    Adam was given a home and reached for a throne.

    Jesus was given a wilderness and chose trust.


    This episode explores:

    • What was really lost in Eden

    • Why exhaustion feels normal to us now

    • How sonship was exchanged for control

    • And how Jesus refused to repeat the same mistake


    Set to a gentle acoustic soundscape, this is not a sermon meant to rush you—it’s a story meant to settle you.


    If you’ve been tired…

    If you’ve been trying to hold everything together…

    If you’ve been carrying more than you can name…


    There is a Father still calling.

    And the throne is still too heavy.


    Come home.

    Lay it down.

  • Who Is Jesus?
    Dec 17 2025

    Known as Yeshua in Hebrew, Iēsous in Greek, Iesus in Latin, and Jesus to us today, He has been called many things across languages and generations.


    Who Is Jesus is not an attempt to define Him by titles or theology, but to listen closely to the way He lived.


    And perhaps the most important thing to know about Him

    isn’t what we call Him —

    but how He taught us to lay the weight down…

    and exhale.

  • When Heaven Took Them Home
    Nov 13 2025

    Losing somebody you love doesn’t come with instructions...
    There’s no right way to stand.
    No right way to breathe.
    No right way to say goodbye.

    This piece… this story… this moment —
    it came from a place I didn’t ask to visit.
    A place where grief sits down beside you
    and God has to come sit even closer.

    If you’ve ever lost someone…
    if you’re carrying a weight you don’t talk about…
    if their birthday, or the holidays, or just quiet moments hit a little harder…
    then something in here is going to find you.

    This isn’t me being strong.
    This is me remembering.
    This is me learning how to let go without losing the love.
    This is me discovering that when Heaven takes someone home,
    God doesn’t leave you behind —
    He leans in.

    I don't know who this episode is for,

    but if it's for you, I hope it finds you...

    And when it finds you…
    I pray it brings the same kind of peace that found me,
    in a moment I never expected.

  • I Am Israel - D. R. Ministries
    Oct 30 2025

    For 40 years I wandered this earth, knowing…


    there was a calling on my name, knowing I was chosen, yet I didn’t choose.


    “I Am Israel” is the moment conviction meets identity… and faith takes its breath again.


    This isn’t a sermon. It’s a declaration.

    A confession whispered into the quiet between who I was and who I’ve become.

  • Still Standing
    Jul 9 2025

    This wasn’t meant to be a podcast. No script. No setup. Just me—raw, real, and reaching for God in the middle of the moment.


    I hit record because I had to get it out… and I’m sharing it now because somebody out there might need to hear what unfiltered faith sounds like. This is what it means to talk to God when you don’t have all the answers but you still believe.


    I didn’t clean it up or dress it up. No polish—just purpose.

    Because sometimes, still standing IS the testimony.
