Today, we’re closing this season by exploring the theme of the “3 R’s”—Rest, Relaxation, and Reflection. Rest is essential, a command from God demonstrated after creation (Genesis 2:2-3), reminding us to pause, trust in His provision, and let go of the hustle-driven pride (Matthew 6:25-34). Reflection allows us to see blessings clearly, strengthens our relationship with God, and brings intentionality to our actions. Let’s embrace a balanced life, filled with time for both toil and tranquility, so we can fulfill God's purpose (Ecclesiastes 3-4). Join me as we dive deeper, savoring this pause to prepare for what’s next.

We are exploring “the upside-down kingdom” concept, which calls us to transcend simple roles and embrace complex identities with compassion, understanding, and community connection.

In today’s episode, titled “Stay Fruity,” we’ll discuss how true leadership mirrors Jesus’ example of service, where our actions glorify God, not ourselves. We’ll dive into bearing fruit that reflects God’s love, joy, and kindness, emphasizing that a close relationship with God is essential for this journey. As disciples, our fruit shows our faith. Bearing fruit is a journey requiring growth, grace, and surrender. Thank you for sharing this space with me—deep breaths, and surrender.

This episode connects with the biblical call to "die to self," aligning with values of humility and communal care, inspired by Romans 6:11 and Luke 9:23-24. We’ll unpack how society fosters isolation and how embodying the fruits of the Spirit, like love, peace, and kindness, redefines leadership.

In our journey toward Jesus’s model of sacrificial love, we're reminded that God empowers us to lead in true community, where love transcends boundaries. Join us as we deepen our understanding of God's grace and the transformative power of community.

Rubby reflects on how academia often isolates knowledge, contrasting this with the holistic learning in pre-colonial Africa, where life, community, and learning were interwoven. She critiques neoliberalism’s fragmented knowledge structure and shares her discovery of “messy utopia” through her professor, George Dei.

This episode explores God’s “upside-down kingdom,” emphasizing true giving, strength in weakness, and redefining success through community rather than individualism. Rubby invites listeners to reimagine a world centered on humanity, grace, and spiritual solidarity.

In this Sweet Medicine episode, hosts Rubby Ben and Princess explore "Sweet Grace" through Hebrews 12, reflecting on God’s love and correction. His grace, sufficient and transformative, disciplines us out of love to deepen our relationship with Him. Unlike our cultural understanding of rehab, spiritual transformation is a journey with Christ, who strengthens and sanctifies us as we surrender. Through Psalm 34:8, Rubby describes God’s grace as a sensory, comforting experience, reminding us of the sacrifice shown in Romans 6:1-2. This grace, purchased at the cross, invites us to extend forgiveness to others.

Sweet Medicine is a segment we created from The Dawn Of Us Podcast, as a space  for honesty, vulnerability & growth when it comes to the ways we wield our tongue. 

With scripture and the Holy Spirit being our foundation, we hope through these series of conversations, we learn to tame our tongue, and to bring about transformation in a way that is medicine for the soul. 

In this vulnerable episode, host Rubby Ben reflects on the struggle with guilt in her journey with Christ. Rubby shares how certain sins cause deep shame, leading to feelings of inadequacy and jealousy of others’ spiritual closeness. She explores the challenge of categorizing sins and the legalism of faith, which intensifies the guilt. However, she reminds listeners of God's grace and mercy through Hebrews 4:16, emphasizing that true intimacy with God requires daily surrender, repentance, and reliance on His strength.

Welcome to Sweet Medicine with Rubby Ben and Princess. In this episode, we explore the transformative power of surrendering to God. Surrendering means releasing control over our lives and allowing God to lead, particularly through our words and actions. As Matthew 11:28-30 reminds us, surrender brings rest and peace. It connects us to God, the source of our breath, and allows us to experience the fruits of the Spirit—love, patience, and goodness. By surrendering, we reflect God's nature and embrace His guidance, ultimately transforming ourselves and our lives.

Seeing eye to eye is an idiom that signifies agreement, yet, as Christians, we often struggle to align with certain aspects of our faith, such as our current situations, the Bible, and the church. This journey can be challenging and emotional, as we wrestle with doubts, despair, and feelings of isolation. However, it's crucial to surrender these struggles to God, trusting that He understands our hearts and will provide clarity in time. By bringing these issues to God, we can find peace and understanding, knowing He has dominion over our lives.
