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.

On this episode Emmanuel speaks with Christian Influencer, Delon Lawrence, to talk about the importance of knowing the character of God and how it is the foundation of our faith/trust in Him. The devil has been working hard to misconstrue our image of God since he first fell away. Now it's time we uncover the tactics of the enemy.

This week Emmanuel opens up about his past struggle with sexual sin and how the Holy Spirit has helped uncover the lies of the enemy that kept him in "the cycle". We pray this episode holds power to help free you from any lustful struggle you are facing. One very important thing to note - it is possible to beat it.

Sometimes we are the obstacles between ourselves and a healthy relationship with God. When we don't forgive and we choose to hold on to what God wants us to let go of, we separate ourselves from Him and even hinder our own growth and healing processes. This week Emmanuel welcomes Leo Sanchez, a brother in the Lord and fellow tiktoker, to discuss his journey of coming to know Christ.

Feeling ugly and body dysmorphia are things many of us - if not all of us - have experienced in life. It's about time we realize that our looks are not indicative of our worth. Literally - Jesus didn't ask about the size of your forehead before He decided to die for you...

"If your vision of success is not related to the tasks God has put you on this planet to fulfill, then it is not success, it is a distraction."
Enjoy this word, and send it to someone who you know needs to hear it.

#Askchurchboy Question: How does pride cloud our understanding of God's character and His fullness?; Comparison truly is the thief of joy, and today Emmanuel explains why he calls it the "never-ending cycle of self-inflicted, mental, torment."

Rejection is something we all hate to experience. We fear it because it makes us feel like we are not enough or that something is wrong with us. However, the life of Jesus is an example of someone who remained the Son of God, even when the world rejected Him. In this episode I cover why rejection is nothing to fear, and has no power while you are walking in God's path.

Jesus dying for us means more than our sins being washed away. His death gave us access to a relationship with the Father, in which we have freedom, identity and purpose. In this episode I talk about how since we've accepted Jesus into our lives, we then no longer have to allow sin, failure and comparison to define us.
Note: These past couple of weeks I've been mourning the passing away of a loved one. I had to take time away, as I didn't even know what to say and did not want to talk to or about God. But I'm back because I rediscovered that God is good and loves us all even through death. Thank you all for the love. Love you, OJ.
