    When Walking Away Is the Right Choice: Faith, Love, and the Courage to Wait with Debbie Engle

    What happens when the relationships we hoped would last don't work out? How do we keep believing in love when engagements end, dreams are delayed, and loneliness begins to take its toll? In this episode of The 1% Shift with Niyi, Debbie Engle, three-time award-winning author of I Am the Real Runaway Bride, shares her deeply personal journey through three broken engagements, unfulfilled dreams, and seasons of uncertainty. Rather than settling out of fear, Debbie learned to trust God's direction, rebuild her confidence, and understand that her worth was never determined by her relationship status. Together, we explore the courage to leave unhealthy relationships, the pressure of other people's expectations, the importance of spiritual growth, and how to keep moving forward when life doesn't unfold as planned. This is a conversation about choosing wisdom over fear, faith over pressure, and personal growth over settling. Guest website and call to action: debbieengle.com

    Power Over Force with Garth Haslem

After decades as a structural engineer, husband, father, business owner, and men's group leader, Garth helps men understand the difference between true power and its counterfeit: force. He's the founder of Manalizing, a podcast and men's group, and owner of Stone and Pine, a men's retreat property built around courage, brotherhood, skill, service, and purpose. We talk about calm authority, emotional discipline, marriage, fatherhood, and why the strongest man in the room isn't the one who controls others, but the one who has learned to govern himself.

    Seeing the Bible Through New Metaphors with Dror Ben Ami

    What if Jesus was never a carpenter — and the meaning of that one word changes how an entire parable should be read? In this episode of The 1% Shift with Niyi, I sit down with Dror Ben Ami, author of two recently released books on metaphors in the Bible: The Vineyard and The Final Jubilee. Dror studied Comparative Literature in both the USA and Israel and was greatly influenced by the scholar and mystic Maurice Nicoll. He brings an entirely new perspective to Biblical analysis, challenging interpretations held for centuries in both Christian and Jewish communities. We talk about why understanding Hebrew is essential to reading both the Old and New Testaments correctly, how metaphors like "carpenter" and "plowman" have been misread for generations, and why seeing Scripture through new metaphors can completely change its meaning.
