    Spiritual Intelligence: We Who Walk and Wrestle with God

    Spiritual Intelligence: We Who Walk and Wrestle with God

    "I want to be God's friend. I’m pursuing a relationship and intentional in my walk with Him. I want to know God through and beyond the bible."

    In this nearly 45-minute episode, Rodney goes deep into his bag to craft this mind-opening monologue about spiritual intelligence, what it looks like, and how to develop it. He addresses a variety of things: the difference between religion and spirituality, how atheists are made, how demons are made, the definition of God, those who troll God and misinterpret the Bible, and connects it all to his own journey with God. If you're having a crisis of faith, this is especially for you.
    Featuring Dave Chapelle, Katt Williams, Tristan Tate, J. Cole, Bruno Mars and Dr. Jordan Peterson.

    Bad Religion: The Curious Case of Nigerian Christians

    Bad Religion: The Curious Case of Nigerian Christians

    "I’m churchless, not Godless. There’s a difference. That most Nigerian Christians can’t see this in 2024 is quite telling." - Rodney

    Rodney is not a churchgoer but in this episode, he takes Nigerian Christians to church in defense of Christians who don't go to church. He holds them accountable for being judgemental of non-churchgoers, prioritizing church over charity, and pedestalizing pastors, among other things. He lists the things he appreciates and dislikes about the Nigerian Church.

    Rodney gives reasons for not attending church while shedding light on his philosophical approach to faith and worship. He also shares a cool story about the first and only time he attended Sunday Service at Koinonia out of curiosity.

    An Ode to Competition: The Advantage, the Edge and the Spirit (SIDE B)

    An Ode to Competition: The Advantage, the Edge and the Spirit (SIDE B)

    "You don’t always need a competitive spirit but you should have skills... knowledge... that gives you an edge."


    Rodney continues by himself where the previous episode left off. He asks those who deny their competitiveness: Are you naturally non-competitive, or did you LEARN to be non-competitive? In this episode, he debunks myths about competition that have infiltrated our culture; and he makes observations of people's general attitude to competition, their lack of competitive fire, and the reasons for this.
    This epsiode will challenge your biases about competition, collaboration, and ambition. It will also bring out the ethical competitor in you.

    FEATURING Lil Wayne, Katt Williams, and Kanye West.

    To Compete or Not To Compete (A Conversation)

    "I'm not against the concept of competition. I'm just concerned that I don't vibe with it, and yet, I have a craving to be at the top." - Tega
