In this sixth episode of the series, Olawunmi Brigue delves into the concept of faithfulness as an essential aspect of character. The episode explores faithfulness through three main dimensions: personal integrity, loyalty to people, and diligence in duties.

Personal integrity focuses on keeping promises to oneself, emphasising that consistency in self-commitment cultivates decisiveness and prevents learned helplessness. Loyalty involves being true to people's best selves by supporting and acting for their highest good, even when they err. Finally, diligence is discussed as thorough commitment to responsibilities, noting that showing up consistently in all endeavours holds potential for breakthroughs.

The discussion uses biblical stories to illustrate these concepts, highlighting the importance of maintaining these attributes in personal and professional interactions.

In the premiere episode of Season 3, host Olawunmi Brigue delves into the concept of character, focusing specifically on the "God kind of love." She discusses how today's culture, amplified by social media, often prioritises self-preservation and other self-centred "truths."
