  • Episode 311- Prompt My Reality
    A better-lit photo, a playful filter, an imaginative edit, AI tools can make all of that feel effortless. But what happens when an artificial version of ourselves stops being a joke and starts being presented as the truth?

    In this episode, “Prompt My Reality,” Tena explores that question through the growing use of AI-generated images and the pressure to look polished online. Social media has long encouraged people to share carefully selected highlights: the perfect outfit, the happy relationship, the impressive lifestyle. AI adds a new dimension. Now, people can create images that suggest appearances, experiences, or even personal histories that never existed.

  • Episode 307- Destiny Swapping- Scripture or Social Media?
    In the latest episode of The Realist & The Visionary Podcast, Tena dismantles the social media notion of “destiny swapping.” Can another person really steal, swap, or take what Yah has purposed for your life? How can a mere mortal or entity overrule Yah’s sovereignty? Through Scripture, Tena examines fate, free will, witchcraft, and Yah’s sovereignty to make the case for why destiny swapping is not real. Your journey is yours, and what’s meant for you will always be yours!

  • Episode 306- The Third Between Two Paths
    In the latest episode of the Realist and the Visionary Podcast, Tena discusses the concept of the “two paths” that humanity faces: the path of righteousness and the path of wickedness. Drawing from biblical scripture, two out of every three people will perish, a statistic that resonates with the urgency of the message. This stark reality compels listeners to reflect on their own lives and the choices they 

    The episode also touches on the importance of spiritual consciousness and the need to align one’s actions with a higher moral standard. Many people who consider themselves “morally good” often fail to follow divine principles, leading to a superficial understanding of goodness. This distinction between true righteousness and mere moralism is crucial for listeners striving for authenticity in their spiritual journeys.

    Seek truth, discern the spirits around you, and choose the path that leads to righteousness.
