    Let's Talk Girl-Code & Friendship "Rules" in Our 20's.

From there, we touch on Ronaldo finally proposing to Georgina and the stunning Chioma & Davido wedding, before diving into our main topic: Girl Code.We chat about how Girl Code has evolved from when we were younger to now, which “rules” should be left behind, the positives that strengthen sisterhood, and whether it should extend beyond just our closest friends.It’s a fun, honest, and thoughtful conversation about girlhood, friendship, and the unspoken rules that shape them.Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

  • The Fruit Is Not The Reward with Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell

    The Fruit Is Not The Reward with Pastor Phillip Anthony Mitchell

    Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell, founder and lead pastor of 2819 Church and New York Times bestselling author of Contend: Standing Boldly for Biblical Truth While Winning the War Within, joins Crystal Renee Hayslett for a conversation that becomes much more than an interview. Philip and Crystal talk about why truth can initially feel extreme, the urgency behind his preaching,  and what it really means to suffer well. The conversation moves through singleness, marriage, holiness, ambition, influence, purpose, and the danger of allowing the things we pray for to become more important than the God who gave them to us.  And in one of the most personal moments of the season, the conversation turns toward Crystal’s own surrender, the responsibility that comes with influence, and a reminder Philip returns to throughout the episode: the fruit may be beautiful, but God is still the reward.

  • Facing Failure, Unemployment & Losing My Father To Addiction - Why I Won't Give Up | Jabu Masombuka

    Facing Failure, Unemployment & Losing My Father To Addiction - Why I Won't Give Up | Jabu Masombuka

    Visit https://www.thathusband.com for merch, live event tickets, and other resources. [S3] EPISODE 41: HOW MY BATTLES SHAPE THE HUSBAND I AM In this episode, Blaque sits down with Jabulani Masombuka for a deeply personal conversation about perseverance, family, addiction and the experiences that shaped the man and husband he has become. He reflects on growing up in a home where his parents' marriage remained intact, where his father was present, provided for the family and constantly encouraged his children to pursue a better future. But behind that stability was a struggle with gambling addiction that would eventually lead to his father's suicide. He shares what it was like to grow up with a father who could be so loving, supportive and intentional, while also carrying struggles that had devastating consequences. At the time, he had little ambition or direction of his own, but watching his father's life unfold became a turning point that forced him to reconsider the kind of man he wanted to become. Today, he lives a life very different from the one his parents knew. But he carries both sides of that upbringing: the beauty of a father who believed in him and the pain of a man who was fighting battles of his own. This is a conversation about the complicated realities of family, the impact of addiction, the weight of loss and the decision to keep going. It's about finding the courage to build a different life, even when your starting point is filled with both love and pain.   FOLLOW THAT HUSBAND PODCAST ON...
