The Portal: Recent Episodes
Asemahle Mgayi
The Portal is a place of gaining access to my personal walk with God. It is a weekly podcast which will share faith-based discussions on encounters with God. All lead by the Holy Spirit and thought up by God Himself.
Each week, I attempt to answer what it means to be young and madly in love with God, while evoking conversations about God among believers and non-believers of all ages.
Join me every 2nd Friday at 13:00 (CAT) as I unpack one of the most intricate relationships in my life.
After a long period filled with hard conversations with myself, I have decided to not continue recording and hosting The Portal.
Thank you so much to everyone who walked this journey with me, I appreciate all of you so so much.

In this week's episode, fellow African Leadership College (abbreviated to ALC during the podcast) students Julie and Tessa join me as we recreate a conversation around self-doubt, affirmation and how God continues to show us that we deserve to be here. Here being anywhere that you are and it being specifically university for us.
The wholesome conversation had me so speechless that we didn't get a worship for the week song and that is alright because the Holy Spirit takes precedence in this space so open your heart and allow these revelations to fill you.
