Episode 63: Episode 63: What You Eat Matters!
The axiom that we are what we eat is not only for physical nourishment but also for our spirits and minds. Through the natural realm we gain a better understanding of the spiritual (1 Corinthians 15:46). In like manner, what we train our spirits and minds to eat will determine what they get accustomed to. Similarly, it also takes discipline and practice to experience the rewards that come from it. In this episode Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti discuss the importance of the quality of the food we feed our bodies, souls and spirits. Unlike the natural that is focused on physical nourishment, what our spirits and minds eat affects both realms and determines the level at which we experience the abundant life in Christ. It becomes important then to take great care and be intentional in what we feed our spirits and minds. We are what we eat!

Episode 61: Episode 61: Letting Go Response
Growth takes time. An oak tree takes up to twenty years to mature into an oak tree and produce acorns. An oak tree can live up to 1000 years and it starts reaching the end of its life cycle at around 700 years. Growth in life is similar- it takes time to develop strong value systems, character and become the best functioning person one is created to be by God. This means in life's development, humans fail and make mistakes. As Christians, there is great encouragement from God and His Word when one own failures, sins or mistakes through repentance and redemption. God forgives completely through His character and never holds any owned failure, sin or mistake against you. However, humans are not like that. They tend to hold your mistake and look for opportunities to bring it back, over and over again. In this episode, Drs. Johnson & Feyi Obamehinti answer the question of how to respond when people refuse to let things go, which shows more of who they are. Drs. Obamehinti empower and equip you in embracing who you are in Christ and living from a higher road lifestyle.
