Believer’s Response with Althea & Bamidele

How far do you go to impress people? What are you doing to encourage or build others. In this episode we discuss the widely used term "peppa dem," in relation to the world's priorities vs God's priorities for believers. "For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ." (Galatians 1:10, NKJV) Be edified as you listen!

This is the ending episode in the life transition series that we’ve been airing. Whatever route God is taking you through to arrive at the peak of your career, be rest assured that all things are working together for your good according to Romans 8:28. In the agenda of God for every Believer and Lover of God, there are no mistakes. God is intentional and His ways are not our ways but we must be willing to follow Him closely in His ways. Take a listen and remain absolutely blessed!

Even though this is a YES or NO question, it has drawn out a variety of viewpoints from us as well as our listeners. In this episode, we are responding to a sampling of these comments as believers would respond. More questions were unearthed from this episode and we hope that you will be thoughtful and blessed as you listen, while keeping in mind Matthew 6:33: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Shouldn’t this be our final response?

What do you think? Of all the things God created us for, is being married the end of it all? In this episode, we touched on the idols and natural tendencies of singles that can be misleading and self sabotaging. We talked about the need for patience and obedience in single-hood as the Bible says “Has the Lord as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obedience to the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed [is better] than the fat of rams.” 2 Samuel 15:22. Take a listen and remain absolutely blessed!

We couldn't abstain from contributing to the ongoing dialogue surrounding the tragic, and untimely, passing of George Floyd, an African-American male who died 05/25/2020 as a result of excessive force while being detained by the police in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Floyd joins the long list of men of color who have gone same way before him. In 2020, during a world cataclysmic pandemic, hatred anger and evil persists to this degree. But, why is this still happening? In this episode, we discuss how the centuries-long, deep-seated hatred has an even deeper root. It says in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (KJV) We also highlight the importance of having an actionable response as opposed to falling into chaos.

This is the first of our Transition Series: from being worldly to being spiritually minded and centered in Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:The old has gone, the new is here!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 In this episode, we’re encouraged to stay true to our profession of the word of God and to keep trusting in Him. We also touched on the mercy of God that prevails over all our mistakes and wrongdoings when we acknowledge and commit to not repeating the same mistakes again. Take a listen and be blessed!

In this episode, we're doing a part 2 revisiting the topic of isolation, but from a positive outlook. We discuss why it is necessary for everyone, especially believers, to take advantage of isolation periods, using biblical examples and including our personal revelations. Jesus self isolated, "when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone." (Matthew 14:23 KJV)

In this episode we share insight on how physical and spiritual isolation can lead to feeling depressed. We also examine the possible causes of depression from a spiritual perspective, referencing personal as well as biblical examples. We also incorporate healthy remedies to the issue, both from a the secular and biblical frame. Given the increase of mental health issues, we have to remember that the battle is against our mind, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood..." We have the FULL armor of God beat anything the enemy beings against us! (Ephesians 6:12-17)

In this episode, we talked about the importance of godly fellowship and how it makes us better in our walk with God. Proverbs 27:17 reminds us that “As iron sharpens iron, So a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.” Take a listen and be absolutely blessed!
