In a world obsessed with microphones, what if your greatest impact is in your silence?

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel Adekeye explores the rise of Quiet Influencers — people who shape culture, prayerfully and purposefully, without noise or spotlight.

Drawing from personal reflections and scriptural truths, this episode challenges every listener to lead by presence, not popularity — to influence systems, not just social media.

🎧 Tune in and rediscover what real leadership looks like in the age of noise.

There’s that strange, quiet stretch of life where nothing seems to move — not backward, not forward — just paused. You pray, plan, and push, yet it feels like heaven is silent. In this episode, Emmanuel Adekeye reflects on the seasons when time seems to stall and clarity feels far away.

Drawing from David’s words, “But I give myself to prayer” (Psalm 109:4), this conversation explores what to do when you’re unsure what’s next — how to keep your heart steady, your faith alive, and your spirit in tune even when progress seems invisible.

“The Pause” isn’t a dead end. It’s where God refines you for the next assignment.

Listen, reflect, and share this episode with someone who feels stuck or uncertain about their path.

Why Are We So Ungrateful? | Conversations at Lunch (S3 Ep 7)

This past week has been a whirlwind—illness, recovery, heavy news, and even the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk. Yet in the middle of it all, one thing became clear: gratitude is non-negotiable.

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel reflects on the little things we often overlook—health, life, the gift of people who stand with us—and asks a challenging question: why are we so ungrateful?

From cultural habits to generational attitudes, this conversation goes beneath the surface to expose how we’ve lost the art of true thankfulness, and why reclaiming it could reshape how we live, love, and honor others.

🎧 Join the table, lean in, and let’s rediscover the power of gratitude.

This episode of Conversations at Lunch, powered by Imagine Studios 116, is a continuation of last week’s discussion on outrage. Today, we’re going deeper with a sore but necessary question: What are you letting into your heart?

From a personal story that left a lasting imprint to the realities of Emmanuel's world, unfiltered culture — we unpack why Proverbs 4:23 warns us: “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”

It’s not about fear. It’s about wisdom. The world is loud, unashamed, and bold with its ideologies, but if we’re careless with what we consume, those seeds stay with us longer than we realize.

But are we actually addicted to it? Do we need the next drama to feel engaged?

Why outrage feels so good (and why it’s so dangerous)

What the outrage is doing to us

How constant outrage can hijack your peace and purpose

Are We Our Own Undoing?

Powered by ImagineStudios116

Sometimes the problem isn’t "them"… it’s us.

In this soul-stirring episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel Dike confronts the Black Crab Mentality — that toxic culture of envy, sabotage, and subtle competition that keeps people (and communities) stuck at the bottom.

From church cliques to creative circles, we expose how many of us pull others down just to feel taller. How we resist unity. How we hate what we secretly admire. And how, ultimately, we become architects of our own undoing.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about awareness.

And maybe — just maybe — the healing starts with us.

We all love music — but where exactly is the line?

Can a song with positive meaning still carry spiritual weight we overlook?

Is it enough to love the message… while ignoring the messenger?

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel takes the conversation deeper — striking the balance between discernment and delight, content and container, meaning and source.

Must every song carry the “gospel” label to be safe?

And are we overreacting... or under-discerning?

This isn’t a condemnation session — it’s an honest search for clarity.

🎧 Tap in and let’s find the middle together.

Let’s be honest… this debate has been circling forever.

Can a Christian vibe to secular music and still love Jesus?

Is it harmless? Is it compromise? Or is it… complicated?

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel tackles the tension — the blurred lines, the heart checks, and the real questions no one wants to admit they’re wrestling with.

Because truthfully?

The enemy doesn’t always need a gun to your head to change you.

Sometimes, all he needs… is the wrong thing in your ear.

So — can Christians listen to secular music? Let’s talk about it.

We’re back.

And we’re not here to play soft.

In this Season 3 opener of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel Adekeye sets the tone with a raw, honest callout — for himself, and for everyone else making mental detours around responsibility.

We blame our past.

We blame the system.

We blame other people.

We even blame ourselves — just to avoid showing up and doing the work.

But at some point, the excuses have to stop.

It’s time to quit playing mental gymnastics and face your life head-on.

No fluff. No pity party. Just truth.

🎧 Tap in.

Let’s have the conversation.
