Churchboy Confessions
Hosted by Emmanuel Iheke Jr, “Churchboy Confessions” engages young adults with a series of monologues and conversations communicating God’s Word with the utmost vulnerability. For many, the churchboy/churchgirl archetype represents someone who has it all together. But the reality is that we’ve all sinned and fallen short, and we don’t get better by avoiding conviction and hard conversations. Instead, we have to have them. Join Emmanuel and the UN-ASSOCIATED family to discuss the real struggles and challenges that accompany the faith walk and how Jesus is the answer to them all. New episodes on Mondays.

Into the Thick of It!
Monday Dec 06, 2021
Monday Dec 06, 2021
God grabbed your hand, and told you to follow Him. Only one problem...He hasn't told you where you're going. Typically, before one begins a journey, he or she knows the destination. Knowing the destination empowers one to persevere through today's trials in hopes of one day reaching the mountaintop. But when God doesn't reveal to you what the destination is, what is supposed to empower you then?

Delighting in Your Weaknesses
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Monday Nov 29, 2021
Some of our weakness continue to be a burden on us because God allows them to stay there for a reason...a good reason.
(Pray that God helps you to really listen to this episode. At first, the concept seems like a hard pill to swallow but remember that God loves you and knows the perfect route to perfection.)

Your Calling is a Command
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Monday Nov 22, 2021
Knowing that the calling God has placed over your life is actually a command comes with huge benefits. For starters, God does not command humans to do anything we cannot accomplish with His empowerment. This gives us confidence to move forward in our calling, knowing that God has already made a pathway to a successful mission. All we need to do is listen, trust and obey.
You are never too unqualified or unclean to follow a command of God. In fact, following His commands is how we express our love to Him.

Humility is Required.
Monday Nov 15, 2021
Monday Nov 15, 2021
It is impossible to live a life that glorifies God without humility. That is how important this topic is. It's never a comfortable conversation to have, but it is imperative that we have it. Many of the things our generation does is for our own self-exaltation. We've traded in our testimonies of God's goodness for instagram captions that only praise ourselves for the hard work we do. Where does glorifying God still fit in our lives?

I Forgot About Grace Again.
Monday Nov 08, 2021
Monday Nov 08, 2021
When we lose sight of grace, we lose sight of God.
Some of us think we are morally superior to others because we follow more rules in the Bible. Others of us hate ourselves after we sin and think God never wants anything to do with us. It's time we revisit what it means to be saved by the grace of God, and not by our own works.

How to Respond to Closed Doors
Monday Nov 01, 2021
Monday Nov 01, 2021
Closed doors exist for many reasons....but not because God can't open them. As we live a life directed by the Spirit, we should never panic and pout at the sight of closed doors, but lean on God to make a way where there seems to be no way. Can I get an amen or what?

How to Be Present in the Lord
Monday Oct 25, 2021
Monday Oct 25, 2021
This week God told me to "be present." I asked Him how, and this is the message I've been inspired to preach on today. I don't think being present is the goal, as much as it is the product of reaching the goal. I think the real goal is learning how to not linger in the past nor worry about the future. In today's message, we focus on the topic of the future.

He Gives Strength to the Weary

Isaiah 40:29-31
He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Let's talk about God's power.

Comparison & Covetousness (Emmanuel‘s Idolatry: Extended)
Monday Oct 11, 2021
Monday Oct 11, 2021
It's hard to feel content while comparing other people's blessings to yours. The truth is, our envy and covetousness for other people's things root from our urge to glorify ourselves. This is a problem, because we were created with the purpose to glorify God. When we find ourselves more concerned with glorifying our own image than the image of God, we become idolators.

Emmanuel‘s Idolatry
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Monday Oct 04, 2021
Today I had a lot to get off my chest about my current state of mind. I've been very covetous (greedy) as of late. It's all been mixed in with some comparison, envy, frustration and more. This is part 1 to the discussion since it got cut short.
