Today's episode is a bit different featuring my amazing friend, Moronke.
Many of you have been asking me about my story and to share my testimony.
As I described it in the episode, my story is similar to Esther - the underdog that ended up being chosen by the King for a story that doesn't seem to have His name explicitly but it's got God written all over it.
Hey CC family!

Welcome back to Season 2! In a world of self-gratification, my question is who is serving? Today's episode is all about what I've learnt about my grandfather and his service for his family and his work.

For this new season, I wanted to testify of the stories of my life and my guest's where there are lessons to be learnt and testimonies to be shared.
Hey CC family, Today's episode is all about dealing with grief and the harsh realities of it.

Today we're discussing comparison and the pressures of people around us having these life changing moments from new jobs, homes and relationships it can sometimes be a lot to handle. Wherever you're at on your journey of learning to not compare, I hope this helps!
In this episode, I introduce you guys to a great friend of mine Debbie who will be discussing the taboo topics that the church often fails to tackle. We're talking about pornography addictions, comparison culture between God's children and understanding the grace of God when battling legalism.
In this episode, we explore the change that has now occurred in society where more and more people are having hard conversations with each other. From families discussing past trauma to black people discussing how they feel in society at large and their own experiences. George Floyd's death and the results of police brutality towards many others has helped become a catalyst for this. My question is not whether Christians should speak out but what should we be saying and how should we say it. Hard conversations require wise decisions for believers who want to represent Christ in all things.
In this episode we explore the realities of male and female friendships from both perspectives. We discuss our own experiences in friendships and the lessons God has taught us to encourage others.
We’re talking about the importance of friendships with the opposite sex but also, the harsh realities that come with it. While friendship already has set parameters, it is important to guard your heart in some more than others.
Many of us have brought our own emotional baggage from our past into our future and it’s time to let go and move on!
Some of the hardest lessons I have learnt have been navigating the transitional period after university and working life. Yet nobody talks about how hard it really is. Let’s remain honest and truthful about it!
This episode is all about the tips God has given for how navigate those lengthy (but amazing) season of singleness. From accountability partners to going on adventures, learn how to be practical with God.
This episode is about being content in our singleness and refraining from glorifying relationships especially on social media!
This episode we explore what it means to build in dead places. Relationships, careers, families and even identity are all founded somewhere. We have to ensure we’ve built on solid and stable foundations.
God will always be the source of your strength. This episode is about how we can deal with being the strong friend and the advice we give to others that we should probably listen to too.
