'For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing.' - Romans 7:18-19

Akpene often asks the question of whether Christians are actually useful in society and usually feel like the answer is no...
The episode starts by talking about the Christian dating scene and how complicated it is! As a woman, how can you shoot your shot without being seen as an ashawo for accidentally hitting on a guy who is in a secret relationship?
Akpene then follows on to speak about a Citizens event where she witnessed that Muslims make themselves an active part of the community by giving their time, providing food, and joining Council consultations but rarely finds Christians within those spaces.
How can people see the worth of Christ without Christ's ambassadors being on the ground and doing the work of an evangelist? (Not in the stereotypical evangelist way of preaching on the street.)

Romantic relationships are all the craze, especially leading up to Valentines day and even afterwards and we love it! We love to see all these people boo'd up and happy! But whilst you're there celebrating that, don't forget to put some respect on the non-romantic relationships in your life!
