This is what happens when you record episodes back to back and everyone has a sugar rush off of Wiley Wallaby's Licorice.... Chaos. Hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we did.

I would love to give you all a episode description but you should just tune in and also... let us know who you thought won the great debate at the end lol

To Dawah or not to Dawah, that is the question.

A conversation about conversations and HP is accepting marriage proposals... send ya wali lol. Walk with us on this episode's journey plus Bri pulls a football picture of a young HP out the archives.

Another conversation that started in one place and then took a mind of its own and ended up in a rabbit hole from HP's mind being Blank Man 2.0, you're in for another treat of a journey in casual but real conversation with NYTR.

Today's episode is about reflecting on Ramadan thus far and the balancing act of feelings and emotions between Islam/our Deen and normal everyday activities and interactions. Being your own worst critic and balancing between the feelings of hope and despair, your journey to Allah is a marathon and the path is not smooth... Did you think you could say we believe and not be tested?
