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.

PULL OUT THAT BIBLE. Tbh I didn't expect for this one to be this heavy but whatever. There's been too much confusion in our generation, so I believe its time to slow it down and cover one of the fundamental doctrines of our faith: The Divinity of Jesus. I pray this message ultimately encourages you see the importance of studying the Word, asking questions (to the right people), and taking your walk in Christ more seriously than you are right now. Love yaw, let's get into it!

Should I trust God for a miracle or should I make things happen on my own? Do we work hard because we don't trust God? Are we mediocre because we expect God to give us a miracle? Hope episode gives some clarity.

Many young Christians of our generation are so scared to be problematic. We're scared to be cancelled and we are scared to be seen as a bad person. Our addiction to praise has finally exposed itself, as we are so much more concerned with being an amazing person in the eyes of the world than we are serving and representing Christ. Today I'll unpack all this and I hope that you DON'T feel attacked but enlightened.

Many of us need this one. We've been lazy, slow, and unmotivated. I hope this message can quicken your spirit and help you make the connection between your hard work in any area and honoring the Father. You can't do anything for God's glory if you're not doing.

Life hasn't been going as expected. You've been obedient, but are still discontent with where you are in life. You are waiting for God to bless you...and nothing is happening? Are you doing something wrong; is God mad at you? Or maybe it just isn't His time. What will you do now? Will you fall in shambles or persist towards victory?

Cheers to 100! This episode, I wanted to take the time to be transparent. Getting to episode 100 took more than I had in the tank, but I'm thankful to God that every time I was ready to walk away from this platform, He directed me back on track. Moral of the story is this: be able to carry on even when God doesn't give you the full picture. Don't stop until He says "stop."
To this community, thank you so much! Thank you for listening, watching, commenting, following, DM'ing - the whole shebang. God has used you all to bless me and help me carry on and I'll never take you all for granted. I love you all. We will continue!

Following God's way can sometimes look like you are missing "opportunities." But please remember, God does not miss anything, nor does He cause us to miss anything that was indeed meant for us. When living a life led by His Spirit, we never need to carry regret.

Is it real peace if you have to wait for the storm to finish in order to feel it? Do you actually experience God's peace or are you just comforted by having everything in your life under your control? Today, I discuss what God's peace looks like amidst a life of many afflictions.

This week, it's part 2 to the 2-part series on Progressive and Conservative Christianity. In this episode, I cover Progressive Christianity, and the 3 reasons I believe this heresy (yes, heresy) is popular amongst our generation. This episode is incomplete without the previous episode, so if you're planning on listening, make sure you check out Part 1 first (ep.96). Definitely open to any questions you might have after this one. Send them here: https://www.un-associated.com/askchurchboy/

This week, I start a 2-part series on Progressive and Conservative Christianity. I will be highlighting the ways in how people who identify themselves with either or, might miss the mark. This week, I cover Conservative Christianity, and next week I will cover Progressive Christianity. These episodes won't dissect every facet of each stance, but cover the overview. This episode is incomplete without the next, and the next is incomplete without this one. Hope this clears things up about the Word of God and proper conduct of a child of God.
