African Blue’s Pod

Growing up, my mother was fond of saying “Ulunkumbwa telusuma.” In as much as I didn’t fully understand the context of the saying as a child, it stuck with me for a very long time until it eventually began to make sense.
In this episode, I share a few stories and lessons on contentment which I define as not the fulfillment of what we want, rather the realization of how much we already have.

✨ Now Godliness with contentment is great gain. 1 Timothy 6:6

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to identify someone else’s mistakes, yet so difficult to spot our own? That’s because as humans, we all carry blind spots—areas of our lives, habits, and thought patterns that we simply don’t see clearly.
These blind spots don’t necessarily make us “bad” or “ignorant”—they make us human. But if left unchecked, they can limit our growth, strain our relationships, and keep us from becoming the best versions of ourselves.

Blind spots don’t define us—they refine us. The moment we choose humility and curiosity, we begin to see more clearly. And once we see, we can grow. That’s exactly what we’ll be unpacking in this podcast episode. Be blessed

On this episode of the African blues podcast, we're going to be a discussing on the topic, “the worst consequential aspect of fear is when fear makes you short sighted “, making reference to the book of genesis, the story of abram and lot and we're just going to take some time to evaluate what exactly happens when we make decisions from a place of fear.
I hope you're blessed. Thank you so much.

REFLECTIONS AND LESSONS FROM OBADIAH

Childhood is a very vulnerable period in our lives. We are growing, developing and learning how to see ourselves and the world around us. This can in turn affect how we function as adults that if not careful, a very toxic generational cycle of trauma can be set up.

In today’s episode, I share some responses as kids, that may be as a result of childhood trauma including a few signs and symptoms too.

I hope this helps you or someone you know navigate and find healing through any past traumas. Most importantly, remember that God cares for you and ready and willing to heal our broken hearts (psalm 38:18).

At the end of it all, we only have each other. Let’s love ourselves and be more merciful, let’s love our countries and most importantly, let’s love Africa!
Hoping you’ll be blessed and encouraged 🙏♥️

“You should have known better!?”
Well what if the action you took is the only “better” you know in accordance to the knowing you have been exposed to? 🤷‍♀️

I am learning that it’s okay to make mistakes or be wrong because that’s probably the only “right” you might know how to do in that moment. 🤗


In today's episode, I share a few lessons that I picked from some stories in the Bible when people experienced seemingly overwhelming situations and how they dealt with them.

I hope you’re Blessed and encourages as you listen. 🙏♥️

On today’s episode, we continue with the second part of the topic on LETTING GO but seeing it from a different perspective.

I’m joined by a special guest (listen to find out) 😂 who shares some profound thoughts and nuggets on this topic.

Something that stood out for me was this statement made, “letting go is not giving up , it’s a way of finding a way to come back stronger.

Hope you’re Blessed as you listen.
Thank you 🙏🏽 ♥️

According to dictionary definition, the word ‘WORD’ also means to express agreement.

Now imagine the numerous agreements we’ve made with a few careless words we speak or have spoken 🤦‍♀️ LORDHAMERCY.

In this episode, I share a few things and most importantly scriptural affirmations that can encourage us as we start our day to speak well of ourselves, surroundings and everything else connected to us.

Proverbs 18:21 MSG
Words kill, words give life;
    they’re either poison or fruit—you choose.


QUOTES

“Words have energy and power with the ability to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble.”


“Don’t ever diminish the power of words. Words move hearts and hearts move limbs.”


In closing, Proverbs 16:24
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Be Blessed as you listen…🙏😇

Growing up we were taught to say thank you when given something or something good done for us. Most especially, we were taught to always say a “THANK YOU “ prayer when you wake up to acknowledge that it’s God who’s made it possible for you to be awake.

A few days ago after watching a discussion on BETTER TOGETHER, Pastor Holly Furtick said something that resonated with me. She talked about how she’d wake up in the morning and after a short“thank you” prayer , she couldn’t help but start complaining about the other things that she felt were going wrong around her and the impact that her complaining had on her?
Have you ever found yourself in that situation? What does ingratitude do to us?

Listen in and be blessed as I share some knowledge and spiritual significance of gratitude and the impact of ingratitude in our lives.
