All of us fall somewhere on the spectrum of realness. On one end of the spectrum is an unwavering commitment to be real and on the other end is a paralyzing fear of being real. But our Fear of being real has a price, our IDENTITY. And authenticity has a price, OUR PLACE IN SOCIETY. We believe real change, growth, and transformation happens when we choose to be authentic. And as for our place in society, we believe it is better to have an authentic sense of belonging than otherwise. Join us on this journey of transformation as we engage in authentic conversations.

    0032 - Consistency is HAAARD

    It's no secret that life often throws us curveballs, distracting us from the mundane tasks that need our attention. But here's the truth: mastering consistency is the key to achieving greatness in every aspect of our lives. From personal growth to professional success, it all begins with the commitment to do the little things consistently.

    0031 - You Can't Tell Me Nothing (Accountability Matters)

    In a world where phrases like "Only God Can Judge Me" and "You Can't Tell Me Nothing" have become mantras, the concept of accountability seems to be fading away. But here's the thing: accountability is not about judgment or restrictions; it's about empowerment and growth. Here we explore the power of personal growth through accountability. We raise a crucial question: How can we cultivate relationship circles that foster personal development through accountability? We'll explore the importance of holding ourselves and others responsible for our actions and choices, and how it ultimately leads to positive change

    0029 - Knowing But Never Understanding

    But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people. They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over gullible women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil desires, always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these teachers oppose the truth. They are men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is concerned, are rejected. But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to everyone.

    0028 - Singleness, Marriage, Happiness, Being Your Spouse's Doorkeeper

    Is it possible to have a successful marriage with an unbeliever? And be happy if married to an unbeliever? What is the difference between a happy marriage and a holy marriage? Is financial wellness a factor when preparing for marriage? What is the right way to measure a successful singleness season? Are there set boundaries to follow or should we create our own? Is a successful season of singleness a precondition for a successful marriage? These are some of the questions we address in this conversation. Hope the answers are useful for you.  If this is your first time listening. We've grouped all of our episodes to help you make a decision based on your topics of interest.

    0025 - Struggles of Unforgiveness

    Christians are often encouraged to forgive and forget, but is this even possible? Maya Angelou said, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you make them feel" How does one even begin to forget an impactful feeling like hurt? In this episode, we're exploring the concept of forgiveness, and what it should look like for us Christians.  If this is your first time listening.
