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.

When we ask God for something, we must believe He is our provider. And when we ask, we shall receive. However, in the times we do not receive, is it because God is incapable of giving? Or could it be that we haven't received because we have asked amiss?

If you're anything like me, after you make a mistake your mind is full of self-deprecating thoughts and you find it hard to get back up because of the shame. Many of us have formed a habit of condemning ourselves for our mistakes, even though God does not. What do we have to realize for us to finally be more forgiving of ourselves and get back up stronger than ever?

Is God putting a gun to our heads? Is He forcing us to worship Him/have a relationship with Him, and punishing all those who don't choose Him by sending them off to hell? Are those of us who are Christians unknowingly serving an authoritarian dictator who's a narcissist?
Of course not.

For many of us, we have been experiencing a period of time in life with a lack of excitement, newness, and passion. Sometimes this can be a result of us doing something wrong, however, these can also be times God Himself calls us to exist in. It's easy to lose sight of the purpose of it all while living a mundane life, but like every part of a Christian's life - it has purpose, and we must endure it.

Today, we host Editor-in-Chief of UN-ASSOCIATED, Danielle Clayton, to talk about her journey of coming to realize that her faith was nothing to keep quiet about. Many of us get so distracted or scared, that we choose to not share our faith with others and keep Jesus private. However, our faith in God should permeate from every facet of our lives as a testimony to who He is.

When God calls us to a journey from mountain peak to mountain peak, we often are tempted with pride - exalting ourselves instead of giving the glory to God. Every good thing we have, has been given to us by God. However ,many of us rather boast about our accomplishments without ever mentioning God because we are more concerned with our self-image than anything else...

Christians have inherited a terrible rep in this generation. We are seen as hateful, judgmental, hypocritical, and more. Are we getting called all these names for Christ's sake, or could it be that we actually all have these faults that need to be acknowledged and corrected. Additionally, how should a Christian navigate a generation where disagreeing has become synonymous with hatred?

In life, God can call us to journey through the mountain peaks or the valleys, and each environment needs a different strategy for endurance. In the valley especially, self-pity is a very present and UNDERRATED enemy. Getting trapped in this pit will only slow you down and distance you from God. It's time we give this enemy the attention it needs to be defeated.

On part 2 of "Overcoming Sexual Sins", I talk about a common tactic the devil would use to tempt me into sexual sin: making it seem like he was my friend. Yeah, I know that sounds silly - who would ever believe satan is anyone's friend. However, in hard times, the enemy can sometimes approach you as an angel of light, as your friend, your solace, your provider of pleasure. And if we aren't careful, we can be deceived to the point of death.

#askchurchboy:...I'm wondering if you could dig deeper into what the Bible says about manifestation and whether or not Christians should be practicing it.
This week, we FINALLY take on the concept of Manifestation. What exactly is this new age principle, and is it something that goes in line with God's word? Let's settle it.
