The Scripture of the Week was Ecclesiates 3:1-11, which talks about the seasons for the activities under the Heavens. Do you know which season you are in? Don't try to figure it all out but stand to know that God may be preparing you or could be releasing you? God spoke to me and many whom I know that this is the year where God is going to manifest things for His children. The creative ideas, businesses, employment, books & etc that you ask God for are going to happen in this season! Do you believe it? God is ready to bless you! There are many who are in labour and are ready to birth the great things that God predestined them to do. Well, this is the nineth month of the year and yes, it is the time to birth what God has sent you to do! It's time to stop holding yourself back, carry the armor of God and go forth!
I've recently had the opportunity of interviewing, Editor in Chief of Teen Era Magazine, Shirah Whitehead and Author of the upcoming book, Confidence of a Winner, Leah Whitehead, who understood that this was their season to birth the visions, gifts stirred, and allow God to manifest every step of the way! Due to relying heavily on God's word, these young women of God, Shirah Whitehead (22) and Leah Whitehead (20), have stepped out on faith with their publishing of their very own magazine and book.
On Saturday, September 1st, Shirah Whitehead had her 2nd magazine signing held at The Globe Bible Bookstore on East Jefferson in Detroit, MI, which was a huge success! She received gifts from published authors and musical artists. One of her guest traveled all the way from Ohio to receive a signed magazine from the the Editor in Chief. Shirah Whitehead is a woman of integrity who shows a prime example of "Godly Success" who walks by faith!
Highlights from the interview with Shirah Whitehead (Editor in Chief) and Leah Whitehead (Author):
DGG: Shirah, first Teen Era was a dream and now it is a reality. How did Teen Era come about?
Shirah Whitehead: Well, Teen Era began in 2009 and it took me 3 years to release it. I worked really hard, prayed, read my word, and sought after God. I didn't even know how to create my own magazine. I spoke with my mom about the idea of publishing my own magazine and that night God gave me the name for it in a dream, Teen Era. From that point on, God directed my steps and showed me how to put it together with the things included.
DGG: That is so great. I see you have a lot of interesting topics included in the magazine. My favorite part is "Simple Godly Steps For Success". What advice do you have for those who God has spoken to about ministry, starting a business, publishing a book, or etc?
Shirah Whitehead: Yes, I talk about fashion, dating, makeup tips, and I have music artists featured as well. But my advice is to see yourself doing it. Set a goal, stay focused and go by the scripture Matthew 6:33 "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" and Jeremiah 29:11. You must have faith...your obedience is contingent to your blessing!
DGG: I love it! I see you have music band, 21:03, Fuzed Worship and music artist, Brent Sealy, with his album, In Too Deep. I love the quality of your magazine as well. But talk about Brent Sealy and his style.
Shirah Whitehead: Aww, thank you! It was great interviewing both 21:03 and Brent. Sealy style is more edgy yet powerful and anointed. It is very different from most kingdom artists, but I enjoy every song on his CD. I love to listen to his music because it takes you into deeper worship with God on another level.
DGG: That is so awesome. Where can customers purchase Teen ERA? Will there be another magazine signing?
Shirah Whitehead: Absolutely. The 3rd magazine signing will be at Baker's Bible Bookstore in Detroit on Grand River, the date is TBA. You can purchase the magazine online at http://teeneramagazine.com/ and it's sold in stores, Bible Discount 26756 Dequindre Road Warren, MI 48091 and Globe Bible Bookstore 2990 East Jefferson, Detroit, MI 48207.
DGG: Wow. That is so great! Tell us how can people connect with you? Facebook, Twitter, blogspot, etc? And contact you far as advertising and write for Teen Era Magazine.

DGG: Leah, Tell us about Confidence of a Winner:
Leah Whitehead: Confidence of a Winner wrote itself. It is my journey of how I matured in Christ, the obstacles I had to overcome and how I put my confidence in God to see me through it all. This book will empower many women to overcome and be winners for Christ with godly boldness and confidence.
DGG: Wow, that's wonderful. When will the book be released in stores?
Leah Whitehead: By the end of this year, the publishing part is still in process. I will keep you posted on released dates and locations.
DGG: I can't wait! I'm definitely having you back on the show so that you can announce your book signing and release. What advice do you have for someone who is writing a book?
Leah Whitehead: I've been writing all my life. I would write short stories, poetry, plays, movies, songs and so much more. My passion for writing led me to take extra English courses, such as Advanced Placement while I was in high school. So I would say, be confident in your writing and whatever God placed in your heart to do. Take some extra English courses to improve your writing skills.
Detroit Gospel Girl Review on Teen Era Magazine: "This magazine is packed with great readings that leaves you informed, encouraged, and inspired to do what God has called you to do. I love the tips and advice about fashion, dating and the scripture devotionals to guide your life that you can meditate on. This magazine not only reaches out to teens but young adults as well. Meeting the Editor-in-Chief has been a great experience to see that she has embarked on a journey to fulfill what God placed in her heart years ago; that was once a dream but now a reality. Shirah Whitehead and her sister Leah Whitehead are down to earth and very approachable young women of God. I wish them much success and blessings! It was a lot of fun interviewing both of them." I have my copy of Teen Era, do you have yours? If not, purchase online at www.teeneramagazine.com or visit Globe Bible Bookstore and Bible Discount to purchase a copy!
