On this episode I attempt to respond to an age long debate on whether or not grace gives us premise and permission to continue sinful lives and acts?
And ultimatelywe'll get to attempt to define (describe) what Grace really is. I got my crush Paul to join me on this one, and He's a real wise guy on this subject so I'm sure this will be a treat.

With me in the studio is fellow #Newkidofftheblock Sotonye Potts Johnson (IG: @soso_pj), who shares her experience getting off the streets, the challenges, and how it feels to be off the block.
She shares with us some of the things she's done to help her be less responsive to the call of the streets, and talks about creating systems that allow you develop an affection for the new.
Super excited that this is a video episode, available on Spotify, and guess what...Youtube too.
I highly recommend the following for further reflections:

Using the tale of Hosea and Gomer, I pose the question; Why do we struggle with being consistent when trying to break habits, and make the necessary changes in our lives?
Is it really just easier to stay in the rut of toxic habits and relationships? In figuring out why we struggle to let go, can we perhaps figure out a system that helps us stick to and be the change we want to see?

I put together this episode from a place of compassion and not shame. I understand that if I knew better, I would have done better.
As I enjoy the wholesomeness I now experience in the Light of GOD's word, I've found the freedom to love genuinely and the strength to reflect upon the past and learn from it.
I hope this episode encourages you to desire more out of this life.
To not let a moment in your past define what the rest of your life should look like.

On this Episode a friend of mine avidly shares an experience and we try to see certain aspects of the N3C model that could have been applied to better manage outcomes.
I'll be honest the story was so wild, I could barely keep it together..lol. But it was really interesting hearing him tell it, and if you pay the right attention, I'm sure you'd learn something from it. Eventually the teacher becomes the student fam.
Its a lengthy one, so grab your drink of choice and settle in Fam

On the previous episode I established that the increase in the incidence of relationship casualties cannot solely be due to gender differences (a.k.a Fear Women et Men are scum). On this episode I discuss certain things to consider that can help us combat this crisis and equip us to better manage and navigate different kinds of relationships. Let's meditate guys!

In this Breakfast climate, where almost everyone has experienced some treachery in the arms of the opposite sex, I share my take on the increasingly popular opinion; "Fear Women". And insights on how we might be able to navigate this climate.

Because feelings are so powerful, it's important that we are aware of and understand them and gain mastery in navigating and managing them so that they do not consume or control us.
On this episode, I share a moment that helped me understand feelings. What they are, Where they come from, how powerful they are and how much power we give to them. Essentially as much as we feel...we can still CHOOSE what to feel or do.
The importance of the little details, the process of the journey in the overall accomplishment of the goal and arrival at the destination.
I share a story reflecting on a brief moment that consequently shed some light on a tip from Salem, in navigating mentorship relationships.
I hope you enjoy the authenticity on this episode whilst pondering deeply upon this raw thought process that struck me whilst heavenly waters drenched me.
A quick, probably rather vague life update, a public apology to the world, and food for thought to all my Good Samaritans out there...and basically my melodious voice and good vibes just for you ...with extra love on top
We talk about getting to that point in life where we learn to just give in and give ourselves up to the seasons that come so we fully maximise that point in our journey. FYI: I love jazz. Was listening while trying to sleep when I jumped up and recorded this. Here's the link for fellow jazz lovers https://youtu.be/uvs5WDWB9hY
A thought on one reason why many of us struggle to let go & let GOD. And a prayer for someone who can relate.
Just a word of encouragement to everyone out there trying to do life. What you seek/ need can only be found in one place.
Apologies for the imperfections on this episode. But its always with love. Thanks for a whole year of podcasting. Love you Lmeds community
A word of encouragement to my wonderful listeners from lessons from a prayer jog. I hope it blesses you.
Mindfulness of self, so you can feel the weight of the beams in your eyes and not lose sight of you.
What happens when we speak out in love and not in condemnation, to one another? Its healing and the removal of specs and beams.
Let me let you in on a wholesome and worthy investment that's all profit and literally no loss or risk at all. Just hear me out first if you don't believe its possible.
Because there's nothing any one will say that will finally prove your accuracy or support the truth of your existence and identity better than this Love. Like Chandler Moore says in "Jireh", 'we'll never be more loved than we are right now'🥰
Taking up a position of Nothingness to become Everything. Because in that place of Surrender, that's where we see who we truly are, and know HIM better. Your surrender is the greatest act of worship.
Finding possible answers to the high pressure question "When will you marry" by looking at the author and finisher.
One of Life's big questions that we all need ask as ourselves as we assess our lives. Especially when half the year's done.
Identifying our inner, self sabotaging tendencies might save the world, one less ancestor wahala at a time! What do you say? Lets be hereos!!!
The difference between Faithful and Faith Full? Where do we fall? Staying Faith full as a response to Faithfulness. Also very excited about this 20th episode people.
Its important that we stay relevant, building our capacities and looking good in every way. Tending the grounds of our lives so we don't turn into a dump that we can't face in the mirror.
What happens when the excitement of a place, person or thing turns into something used and borrowed (basically boring/been there done that and over it).
This one's for those of us with a tendency to put the blame on ourselves ALL THE TIME. STOP ITTTTT!!!!!
I take a bold step to share my thought process at a very trying season in my life. Updates on my relocation experience and school. Testifying of how I thrived through seasons of trials and resurfacing old demons.
Taking short cuts that get us into circles, and turn an 11 day journey into a sweatful and painful 40 years journey.
Realize the importance of experience along with learning. Those notes won't come to life till you live them. Take responsibility for YOU and YOUR LIFE. #NoIsNotDisrespectful
Final part in the EXTENSIVE "February" love series ooo. Basically, explaining my understanding of the oneness that comes with Marriage 💑. Let's wrap this up.
The demands of love in a relationship. A choice to choose that person irrespective of their disqualifications. Discovering the Nurturing power of a man = Love.
SUBMISSION? What really does it mean? Is it the repression of a specie to further overtly empower another specie? Or could there be more to it than we know.
Let's talk Valentine. How much weight would/should you be carrying this valentine? Dynamics of human relationships; understanding, accepting and applying these dynamics.
Need a good quick fix, for pain, anxiety, loss, broken backs and hearts, and anything else. I have a very good connect.
A song and challenge for the new year. As a new season carries endless opportunities, set yourself up to maximize all the time. Prepare yourself, look out for the essence of 2021 and just enjoy all it has to offer. Happy New Year and Much love😘.
A new learning experience filled with way too many avenues to make mistakes. But I can't let them see how flawed my creations are. What I did to hide my mistakes.
Where equity meets equality. Using Dominance and Individual Peculiarities. Unifief differences shows forth glory. Gender Roles Expectations.
First hiking experience, gives a different vantage point to some aspects of life's journey. Pacing yourself and enjoying the race is NOT a crime.
International Passport Epic Fail. Hurting people hurts people who go one hurting people. The time frame a moment of your life will last depends on what you do with the life of that moment. A lifetime lived through one moment?
