My unique message to the world is the power behind the words of our mouths. We have made light of it but cannot escape the fruits thereof. For me, words are the unit of creation, the building block on which our existence evolves. This podcast is for everyone who wants to better their living by using words and applying themselves wisely. I will be using the storytelling style fused with imaginative nuances to transport the listener to that place, where possibilities are not luxuries but everyday experiences; movie in voice. This podcast will emphasize the power of routine, and what you repeatedly do, you most likely build capacity and expertise for what you repeatedly do. My podcast will help the listener learn how to practice success because the same amount of time you use in complaining is the same you can use to plant, build, prune, etc. I intend to draw the listener's attention to the power of their words.

    S4 Ep. 273 Surrender At The Feet Of Truth

    Send a text A simple question from a child—why lie on the floor when the bed is right there—opens a larger conversation about surrender, pride, and the quiet strength of being conquered by truth. We share the tender origin of this practice in a mother’s floorbound prayers, then follow the thread through the teachings of Jesus, the moment when people walked away from hard words, and the steadiness of those who stayed because they knew where life was found. This is a story about posture as a language: not of defeat, but of availability; not of servitude, but of servanthood; not of lack, but of alignment. Across this conversation, we unpack why embodied humility matters when life feels loud and frantic. The floor becomes a symbol and a strategy—lowering ourselves enough to hear what ego drowns out, choosing attention over activity, and letting truth live through us. Mary and Martha step into view as a map for modern attention: one running on expectations, the other sitting close, conquered by a word that reorders priorities. We explore how surrender reframes strength, why resistance masquerades as busyness, and how a daily practice of going low can tether us to meaning when storms rise. By the end, the invitation is simple and demanding: trade image for integrity, motion for listening, and the pressure to win for the freedom to be led. If you’ve ever felt torn between doing more and becoming more, this reflection offers language, story, and a repeatable practice to help you choose well. Subscribe for more grounded conversations, share this episode with someone who needs a gentler way to be strong, and leave a review to tell us how surrender is reshaping your days.

    S4 Ep. 272 The Marriage Vow

    Send a text What if the most powerful tool for healing a strained marriage is already in your hands? We return to the marriage vow and hear it afresh—stripped of sentiment, heard as a living covenant that binds two people to each other and to God. Through a lyrical exchange and grounded teaching, we explore why love outlasts feelings, how fidelity becomes a daily choice, and what it means to treat sacred promises as treasures rather than trinkets. We slow down and read the vow line by line—“for better, for worse… in sickness and in health”—not as décor for a ceremony but as rails that keep a life on track when storms hit. Along the way, we trace the roots of covenant back to Abraham, where sacred promises carry weight, consequence, and presence. That story reframes modern marriage as more than a private romance; it becomes a public trust and a spiritual act that can bear real-life pressures like economic stress, shifting culture, and the lure of easy exits. You’ll hear practical ways to make vows visible again: rereading them in moments of anger, turning them into weekly check-ins, and inviting mentors and faith communities to help carry the promise when your grip is weak. We speak candidly about cancel culture, the myth that love is only a feeling, and the quiet strength found in a threefold cord. If your home needs a reset or your heart needs courage, this conversation offers clarity, language, and hope to keep going with grace. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find these conversations.

    S4 Ep. 271 Mirror Talk: Owning Your True Self

    Send a text Your mirror isn’t only reflecting a face; it’s echoing your words back at you. We open a candid exploration of confession as a daily practice that shapes identity, moving beyond guilt lists to truth-telling that lifts, steadies, and changes how you meet yourself under pressure. Instead of letting negativity feel more “real,” we trace why the mind defaults to fear and how to retrain it with clear, present-tense language that honors reality while choosing hope. We walk through the tension between falling short and living lifted, drawing on faith-centered language to ground a practical approach: say it, repeat it, and let your behavior line up with your words. You’ll hear simple mirror exercises that turn self-talk into a habit—naming weaknesses without letting them define you, then flipping them into strengths you can use today. We dig into identity triggers, like taking offense when someone labels a visible trait, and show how a stronger inner confession steadies your response and guides your choices. By the end, you’ll have a toolkit for changing your default script: replace curse with blessing, fear with truth, and vague positivity with specific, actionable affirmations. As repetition reshapes perception, your reflection begins to match the person you are becoming—focused, resilient, and aligned with your deepest values. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a new mirror, and leave a quick review to tell us what confession you’re choosing this week.

    S4 270 Ep. From Ancient Sparks To Global Power: The Human Story Of Electricity

    Send a text A sleepless night in the 90s, a BBC documentary, and a mural that wouldn’t let go—this is the spark that powers today’s conversation. We follow that current from a teenager’s curiosity to a sweeping look at how electricity rewired human history, culture, and ambition. Guided by Raoul Dufy’s vast tableau of monuments and machinery, we decode the symbols of progress and the people who carried the charge. We revisit the origins: Thales and the first static experiments, Gilbert’s careful notes, Franklin’s bold tests, Faraday’s fields, and the equations that gave shape to the unseen. The plot intensifies with Edison and Tesla, the current war that defined long-distance power, and Westinghouse’s bet that made AC the backbone of modern grids. Along the way, we shine a light on Lewis Latimer, whose filament work helped turn a fragile invention into everyday brilliance. This isn’t hero worship; it’s a reminder that real breakthroughs demand teamwork, credit, and grit. Then we turn the lens to the present and near future. What does “the spirit of electricity” look like when it’s your neighborhood, your workshop, your city’s horizon? We talk Nigeria’s energy reality: intermittent supply, inventive workarounds, and the promise of mini-grids, smart meters, and renewables. We explore how reliable power drives health, education, and jobs, and why policy and public trust matter as much as turbines and transformers. The challenge ahead isn’t just technical—it’s cultural. Can we treat the grid as a shared craft, plan beyond election cycles, and train the talent that keeps the lights honest? If you felt that first jolt of wonder from a flicker, a lab demo, or a skyline at night, this conversation is your voltage check. Tap play, see the mural through fresh eyes, and help sketch the next chapter of power: resilient, fair, and built to last.

    S4 Ep. 269 Unlocking The Global Economy Through Kingdom Mindset

    Send a text What if “wealth transfer” isn’t a windfall, but a wake-up call to build, steward, and govern? We sit down with Apostle Obi Pax Harry to unpack a bold thesis: Deuteronomy 8:18 isn’t poetry—it’s policy. God gives the power to get wealth, which means the next decade favors those who pair prayer with plans, revelation with research, and vision with value chains. We track her journey through revivals in Nigeria and the UK and use it as a launchpad to rethink titles as functions, not status, and money as mandate, not magic. From there, we chart four clear doors into the global economy: knowing your nation’s redemptive gifts, laboring to understand God’s will across earth systems, yielding to receive keys for hidden riches, and seeing with kingly perspective. That lens turns headlines into homework: BRICS currency moves, alternative payment rails, and even asteroid probes rumored to hold vast metals. If revelation is progressive, our stewardship must be too—into space, soil, and everything between. We explore how to turn resources into retained profits by building local processing, specialized schools, and intelligent supply chains that keep value at home. The heart of this conversation is mindset. We confront doctrines that shrink capacity, especially the fixation on generational curses. Patterns exist, but patterns break when decisions change. Riches can vanish; wealth endures because it is decision-driven and designed to serve three generations. 2025 stretched many of us—2026 is the thrust. Expect partnerships, not solo heroics. Guard your thought life, because ideas are where prophecies land. And start where you stand: invest small and early, steward the land beneath your feet, and cultivate governance habits that match your calling. If this reframed your idea of wealth, share it with a friend, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review telling us the one investment—of time, learning, or capital—you’ll make this week.

    S4 Ep. 268 How A Bold Artist Turns Culture Into Music You Can Feel

    Send a text What if jazz didn’t just borrow from culture but stood inside it, breathing in real stories and rhythms from across the Sahara? We sit down with The Salako—musician, festival founder, and fearless improviser—to map the living space between Yoruba folk, Afro jazz, and the kind of stage magic that turns a crowd into an instrument. We talk about identity and clarity—why he embraced “The Salako” to guide listeners to the right artist—and then get into the core of his craft. He shares how Bobby McFerrin’s approach unlocked a mindset of freedom: starting from a spark, building songs with the room, and letting rhythm, audience voices, and raw texture find their form. That same spirit led him to create the Abuja International Afro Jazz Festival, a truly global platform where artists bring their culture into jazz, not the other way around. From South African mentors to Norwegian partners and a Senegalese groove, the festival gives Abuja a front-row seat to the world’s musical dialects. We challenge assumptions about attention spans and “easy music,” and discuss why depth still wins when presented with honesty. The Salako writes long-form pieces, then crafts radio edits for entry points, trusting listeners to seek the full journey. That faith pays off: Gen Z showed up and stayed to the last note at the most recent festival. He also teases Pirates of the Sahara, dropping alongside his April tour, with themes that look beyond love to real issues—discipline, social strain, traffic impatience—carried by bold meters, brass, and storytelling arcs. A highlight, Dagunro, reframes a Yoruba warning tale as a cinematic, 7/8 surge that feels both ancient and new. Underneath it all sits a generous belief: everyone is musical. The Salako loves turning audiences into choirs because creativity isn’t a niche—it’s human. If you’re curious about African jazz, cultural storytelling, improvisation, and how legacy-minded work can still thrill a modern crowd, this conversation is your map.

    S4 Ep. 267 Legacy Is A Bridge We Build With Words

    Send a text A fading generation holds memories of colonial rule, civil war, and the early years of Nigeria’s nationhood—yet too many of those stories are slipping away unrecorded. We sit down with writer and editor Timmy Yeseibo, who calls herself a conduit of legacy, to explore how a modern griot preserves memory through books, audio, and digital archives. From living-room interviews to community repositories and presidential libraries, we trace practical ways to capture voices before they go silent, and why a society that values remembrance makes better choices in the present. Our conversation moves from the roots of the West African griot tradition to the realities of preserving history in a digital age. Timmy shares how to start small—record a parent’s timeline, scan photos, gather place names—and how to scale up through institutions that can protect and share those narratives. We also dig into the reading life that fuels her work. With a fifty-books-a-year habit, Timmy makes the case for deep reading as a counterweight to the loud, shallow churn of social media, showing how long-form attention builds judgment and curiosity. We take a clear-eyed look at the material underbelly of “clean” technologies, drawing insights from Ed Conway’s Material World to unpack the hidden costs of batteries, semiconductors, cobalt, and sand. The thread running through it all is nuance: real understanding demands context, multiple sources, and the willingness to pause, research, and return. We close on legacy through memoir, including what a well-written but guarded political autobiography can—and cannot—do for public memory, and why every version recorded still sharpens the collective archive.

    S4 Ep. 266 Man Talk With Dr. Andy Osakwe

    Send a text What if the stability you want at home depends less on trends and more on timeless order? We sit with Pastor Andy Osakwe to unpack a countercultural idea: when a father treats leadership as service, when a wife offers help without force, and when both practice mutual honor, families stop reacting to culture and start shaping it. No posturing, no clichés—just honest talk about what actually works. We dig into why so many young marriages stumble under movie-fueled expectations and social media noise. Pastor Andy explains the “ancient paths” as living principles: leadership that sets standards without domination, help that empowers rather than competes, and honor that flows both ways. We talk about the weight of a father’s words, how public unity between spouses strengthens private trust, and why teaching kids to value wisdom beats chasing the next viral script. Reaching Gen Z and Gen Alpha means entering their digital spaces with patience, using technology to connect, and translating enduring values into today’s language. We also tackle the big question of getting married young. The answer is crisp: maturity beats age. Readiness shows up in money habits, stable emotions, responsibility, and a plan you can execute. If you can’t house and steward a family yet, wait and grow. If you’re ready, lead with humility, receive help with gratitude, and make time for the people you claim to love—because being “too busy” is not a strategy. Come for the candid insights, stay for the practical steps that will help you build a home with strength, peace, and purpose.
