Urban Theology Podcast

You got money? If not, you are probably thinking of a way to get it and if you already have money, you are probably thinking of a way to preserve it. We can all get caught up in money matters, but do we keep that same energy in matters of God? We are actually supposed to put out more energy in the latter matter, but most times we fall short. Tobe and Raheem dig deep into this topic and share some of their pitfalls with money, lessons learned and advice on how to stop worshipping money.

How does social media affect you? Keep it a 100 with us; do you pick up your phone and check social media when you wake up? Both Tobe and Raheem have been on social media highs, and let's just say the distance it creates from the Father is not worth it. We discussed jealousy, comparison and more weeds social media can create.

We all love a good friendship, but a lot of friendships aren't all that good once you peel back the exterior. Today we talk about our personal friendships and how they have evolved over time. Some friends can also turn into deadweight, while new friends take the place of old friendships causing animosity. What about friends that just don't accept our spiritual growth, and cause uncomfortable conversations? We dig into all of that in this episode
