    S5E6 Bringing Beauty to the World ft. Jake Isaac

    Today we continue conversations with creatives, with the gem that is Jake Isaac. We discuss his beginnings playing the drums in church, and his ability to transcend the divide between 'sacred' and 'secular' spaces. Also, what we can learn from MJ, Kanye West and Jon Batiste, and what he hopes his children will learn from his artistic journey. This is a beautiful conversation, I hope you enjoy it. *Notices* The competition closes on Sunday 11th August at 12 noon.

    S5E2 Testimony Time

    In this episode, I share a bit about the journey to being the first Black woman to be appointed as a lecturer in theology in the country. I then reflect on the trend of "manifesting" our dreams or what Pentecostals often call "writing the vision", and what we might consider as we mark Pentecost and the manifestation of the Spirit among believers.
