The Conversations in the dark Podcast

In this podcast, I delve into heavy topics that have often been sidelined in the African society, particularly Ghana where I live. In these episodes, I have conversations with people living with first-hand experiences of issues ranging from bi-polar disorders to Africans indulging in sham marriages abroad in hopes of finding a better life. My goal for this project is for people to find hope in their dark corners, to instigate paradigm shifts and to share the heroic stories of a few people in their own words.

    Preaching & Preying : A Church’s Hidden Sex Scandal

    What happens when the shepherd becomes the predator, and the sheep become the prey? In this episode, we sit down with Bernard, a former church leader and devoted member, as he shares his harrowing experience with a sex scandal that ultimately led to the downfall of the religious organization he once called home. This is not a story meant to condemn the Church or any religious institution. Instead, it is a call to protect and uphold the integrity of the Church as a vital pillar of society. Bernard opens up about his regrets, his enduring faith in Christ, the profound impact of this experience, and how it has shaped his views on the Church and its leadership today.
