The Know Your Power Hour: Daily Summaries Delivered

Your Power Is Trapped In Your Throat

Reginald McKiver discusses discerning when to hold your peace versus using the authority and ability God has given you. He argues God provides the ability to get wealth and to act, while outcomes ultimately require God's part, so people must do what is in their power before expecting divine intervention. Using a story about confronting a drunken man near his child and examples of facing bullies, he urges listeners to stop being passive, overcome fear and intimidation, and speak up to shut down "devils" such as criticism, narcissistic people, stage fright, and financial worry. He emphasizes speaking faith, not worrying, using one's gifts, and surrounding oneself with faith-filled people rather than waiting for permission or the "right time."

Make the Moment Count

Reginald McKiver asks listeners how many moments they truly take advantage of. He recounts nearly dying from undiagnosed double pulmonary embolisms and seeing his life as a flash of moments...joy, shame, and fear, realizing the "coulda/shoulda" outweighed what he actually did. He argues that trauma and success are shaped by moments, yet people sacrifice the present for elusive "one day" goals, often losing family, fulfillment, and time. McKiver urges writing down "one days," stopping to pause and see what drives constant pursuit, and prioritizing God and family with daily cutoff times and intentional presence. He encourages making moments for God, self-check-ins, rest, reflection before sleep, and giving others small, meaningful moments each day. Visit thereggiemckiver.com to learn more.

Help! My spouse/partner doesn't see me nor do they hear me!

Reginald McKiver discusses how relationships often feel imbalanced (money, education, family background) and how couples clash by trying to make each other the same instead of learning from differences. He argues spouses often arrive to "break" what you've been taught through observation, which he calls the strongest teacher, and asks listeners to list what they observed growing up in love, finances, health, and self-care. He says people frequently repeat generational patterns—often "marrying" their mother or father—and rehearse the same arguments in a trance-like cycle that isn't truly about the partner but about generational pain. He advises writing down repeated phrases from arguments, saying them to oneself in the mirror, taking accountability, and learning to see, hear, love, and believe in oneself to break the cycle and move forward with understanding.

What agreement are you under?

Reginald Mckiver returns to the Know Your Power Hour after a season of growth in family and business with a powerful message about agreements—the thoughts, beliefs, and suggestions we accept that ultimately shape our lives. He explains how subtle suggestions can influence our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behavior, often without us realizing it. When those thoughts are repeated and accepted, they can become agreements that produce consequences in our lives. McKiver challenges listeners to examine the voices they have agreed with, guard their minds, and intentionally choose each day who they will serve. He emphasizes the importance of standing firmly on God's Word, refusing the excuses that begin with "yeah, but," and breaking agreements rooted in unworthiness, fear, and limitation. The message is ultimately a call to recognize the power of our agreements, reject what does not align with God's truth, and choose a life marked by peace, joy, purpose, and abundance.
