In this episode Ire is joined by Etim Essien, founder of video production company Exkluse Media. We give an honest review of the year so far and discuss the internal battle we face daily between enjoyment & doing lifestyle versus walking in the straight and narrow. We look at King Solomon in the bible and discuss the differences between him and his father, King David.

Question to ponder: What's your definition of enjoyment and living life to its fullest?

In episode 13 we begin our series on forgiveness and start with the twist of how do you actually go about forgiving yourself after making a mistake?

If you do not know how to forgive yourself then how will you know how to forgive other people?

Question to ponder: Do you really know how to forgive yourself? If so, how do you go about it?

1 John 1.
Philippians 3.
Philippians 4.

In episode 12 we conclude the series on how to plan successful goals for the year.

We discuss how doubt can actually limit the Lord's power and result in your goals and targets for the year not being met. We look at Moses and Jesus.

Question to ponder: Are you doubting God or are you actually doubting yourself?

Further Reading:
Exodus 3 and 4.
Matthew 13.

In episode 11 Ire looks at whether needing God in the past means we'll need him in the future.

In order to come to a conclusion, we look at King Asa in the bible, a man who God gave peace and rest to for decades but when further trials and challenges emerged, forgot how God had delivered him in the past and decided to do things in his own strength and confidence.

Question to ponder: DO WE REALLY NEED GOD IF WE'RE ALREADY SUCCESSFUL?

Further Reading:
2 Chronicles 14, 15 and 16.

In episode 10 Ire looks at one of the reasons we often fail to reach our goals and targets - when we lose sight of the bigger picture and the overriding objective.

We look at Joseph in the bible, a man who literally dreamt God's will for his life but because he did not take time to understand the dreams and instead got consumed by excitement, he almost saw his destiny cancelled.

Question to ponder: Does destiny always arrive as Thanos says or can you and the people you surround yourself with cancel it?
