These days, a lot of churches and youth ministries have taken their messages to a space we didn't consider just a decade ago - the internet. This podcast, after all, is one such example.
There have been many discussions about the pros and cons of a digital church, but this week, we take another look at the blitz surrounding content creation and ask: are we just doing it for the engagement and the clout, or are we truly in it looking to repackage the unadulterated gospel of Jesus Christ?
Aunty Jennifer Agaldo is back on with Enoch Tyulen.
Hosts: Seth Kuje and Plangkat Musa.
We talk a big game about freedom in the Body of Christ.

On this week's episode we tackle the ever growing questions on Gen Z's but this time in Churches. There is a large number of young people in church and we sometimes wonder, do they know what is being taught in church or should the church change its sermon and approach so as to engage that generation?
Join our host Mr Daniel Sule as he tackles this interactive message with our Guest Pastor Oscar Fwangmun.
On this week's episode we explore the complex and multifaceted effects of parental care on childhood development.
When parents provide care and support from a young age, it sets their children up for success and creates a positive cycle. As those children grow into parents themselves, they're more likely to create a nurturing and stable environment for their own kids, fostering a legacy of love, support, and opportunity.

Guests: Dr Amoo and Prof. Amaka Ocheke

The Bible instructs us to be obedient to constituted authorities. However, civil disobedience, such as shown by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the Bible, and religious disobedience, such as shown by Martin Luther the Reformer, against the Catholic Church, shows that disobedience is sometimes necessary.This week on YouthVibes, we ask: when is disobedience necessary, and when is obedience mandated? Guests: Mr Silas Agaldo and Mr Smart OlufemiGuest Hosts: Dr Joshua Agbatse and Ms Marvelous Clement

Guest Hosts: Timothy Liman and Ritkatmun Lenka
One of the hardest things is to be in a community where you are going through the hardest mental issues and you are asked to pray it away, well prayer is great and needed but there should be a support to it right?

For many people, faith, and career are often on two separate sides of the aisle. In professions where compromise is expected to succeed, far too many Christians leave their beliefs in pursuit of their careers.

With such high-profile careers, we ask: how do you balance growing a family, holding on to your faith and succeeding professionally?

Who bears the burden when a child turns out wayward? Is bad behaviour ingrained in children, or do they pick up bad habits from their environment? Are parents to be blamed when their kids stray from the path they'd hoped/planned for them to take, or is each individual 100% responsible for the way they turn out?
Effectively, we ask this week on YouthVibes: nature or nurture, which wins?

This week, we close with what is probably the most foundational to all the spheres of influence. Wars have been fought over it, and entire nations have been transformed on the basis of it. The sphere of Religion predates most of the structures we have today as other spheres of influence - at least in a formal way.
This episode considers the subject of organised religion, and the concept of the areligious movements. Where did atheism start from? Can the world exist without religion?

Confront most young people these days on an aspect of their behaviour and you'll be accused of passing judgment.
If we're expected to not judge people when they do the wrong thing, then where does correction play a part? And when we attempt to correct people, what are our motives? What does judgment even mean?
This week on YouthVibes, Godfrey Ali has a conversation with Ms Jane Unyo and Mr Andrew Liman on the importance of living right, being your brother's keeper, and judging others.

For all the sacrifices they make and burdens they bear, fathers don't always receive due credit for their roles in their children's lives. With countless tales told of the impact of absentee fathers, Joy Wazoh and Daniel Sule decided this week to talk to a couple of fathers with varying levels of experience about their relationships with their own fathers as well as their responsibilities to their children.
Later on the show @50:12, our friend, Samuel Ajik, a prospective father, brings a fresh perspective to the matter.

With all the dreams we have, it can legitimately feel like the 24 hours we have a day aren't enough, and with many working from dawn till dawn the next day, burnout isn't that far off.
We live in a fast-paced world, and so, it can seem counter-intuitive to take time off. Today's guest doesn't think so. On this episode of YouthVibes, Daniel and Nkami have a conversation with Dr Steven Daniyam on the importance of balancing responsibilities, managing time and avoiding burnout.

We're mandated by God Himself to be stewards of all of creation. Are you playing your part?
The conversation around our responsibility to all God created: plant, planet, animal and human is often neglected. And it's not because we simply don't care. After all, who willingly contributes to the destruction of their home? It's mainly because we don't care enough.
Our show this week delves into the conversation around our responsibility to the planet and all in it as well as our responsibility to each other and future generations.
Guest: Promise Salawu, an environmental activist with Tearfund - an organisation involved in the fight against poverty.

Disciples, disciplining, discipleship. At one point or the other we all have heard one or all of these words and not just in the Matthew 28:18-20 sense. As it turns out, discipleship is not just for the followers of Jesus. On this episode of the Vibe we establish the importance of discipleship and the roles our disciplers play in our lives

Self-esteem is an overall opinion of yourself — how you feel about your abilities and limitations. When you have healthy self-esteem, you feel good about yourself and see yourself as deserving the respect of others. When you have low self-esteem, you put little value on your opinions and ideas.

The narrative around mental health conversations is typically filled with stigma and shame. We can't let that continue to be normal. We have to do a better job of taking care of ourselves: body, spirit and mind.
What does your personality say about your mental health predispositions? What are some of the warning signs that could be helpful pointers for the onset of depression and other mental illnesses? How can we start talking more openly about mental health struggles?

Everyone goes through a phase in their lives where they question the faith they've held on to from childhood. The decisions we make in those moments determine the trajectory of our lives and set the stage for the next chapter of our faith journeys.
This week on YouthVibes: why do Christians believe the (quite honestly outlandish) claims they hold to? How can we hold on to a God that no one sees or believe in a faith that will likely not be proven in our lifetimes?
Godfrey Ali and Daniel Sule have a conversation with Adam Daudu, John Fidelis, Miracle Joshua and Sarah Manzo on the basics of Christianity and why we believe what we do.

Adulting is not easy, can I get an Amen? More so when you have to add making new friends to the mix. Because at this point everyone else has either been friends since they were babies or they have been family friends since the first generation. Or maybe you are like some of us who got the memo really late and have just noticed that we do need people.
This episode is some friends having a conversation on starting and sustaining friendships. So, sit back, relax and maybe you can get pointers on some questions you may have been asking yourself about your lady friends. And if you are still confused on how to start, I think we made it quite clear that our group needs more people!

Why do so many people shun traditional jobs after working for years or even straight out of school and choose the path of the entrepreneur? How do people make a living without a constant salary?
The path of the entrepreneur is one riddled with pitfalls and setbacks as much as it is a rewarding one. Setting your own work hours and being able to go on vacation whenever you want are definitely perks of the job. With so many people considering switching jobs and going out on their own; as well as those who are starting out on their own career journeys, we decided to start a series focused on the paths and lives of different career professionals. First up: Entrepreneurs.
Guest: Setitun Salawu, a fashion designer, event planner and caterer.
