The EMPOWERMENT SESSIONS PODCAST with MPHO & GUESTS.

Today on the podcast we are joined by INCENSE, a South African Christian Rap artist born in Soweto & raised in Pakamisa a Township outside

King Williams Town, in the Eastern Cape, who has been an activist for South Africa’s now biggest Hip Hop Sub-Genre “Christian Hip Hop” since 2011, the year he pioneered TAKE TAKE THE MOVEMENT together with his friends. The movement reached more than 2000 young people who were transformed by the gospel carried in the God-inspired lyrics from poets and rappers. He grew up singing in various church choirs, but the love of poetry and rap was always deeper than singing. He comes from a very strong Christian family, so gospel music was the order of the day, yet pop culture and popular music sparked in him a deeper interest for the arts.

Starting from birth, growing upheld many challenges and obstacles for Felicia. She was born in a Thai prison and lived there until the age of three. She was then separated from her mother and fostered in South Africa by her mother's best friend. Some of the challenges encountered by her include being both a victim and perpetrator of bullying; suffering depression, anxiety and panic attacks; self-harm, substance abuse, hopelessness, despair,  suicide, school difficulties, relationship difficulties, loneliness, grief, low self-esteem and identity crisis.

It was when Felicia hit rock bottom at the age of 19, that she reached out for help. She had to look within all her pain she ran from for so many years, and with it began to find healing. With this, she found her purpose and started being a support base for young people.

It has become clearer to me that God's grace and guidance are present in every life's story. It doesn’t matter what background you are from, the most amazing thing that ties our testimonies together, is the unfailing Love of God. Her story is truly inspiring, especially the way she encountered God in such a profound way, and that encounter led to her letting God use her beyond the confines of traditional church boundaries.

Today on the podcast Jeenen shares with us her journey of God’s faithfulness in her life, despite many disappointments, challenges she had to overcome and continuous trust in God.

She’s a candidate attorney by profession and a pastor's wife.

In today's episode, Diana shares what made her navigate through the depths of grief when she lost her mother. I never thought that our conversation would go so deep, but I’m glad it did because in all that we talked about ... I was able to get principles that inspired me to keep on, especially having lost my mom as well. Pain knows pain and nobody can ever be able to prepare anyone for such a loss. But in all things, we continue our steadfastness in God, who heals and bind the brokenhearted.
