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.

Raise your hand if you don't know what's going to happen next, and fact of not knowing it's been killing you inside. Raise your hand if the pressures to be successful - whether it comes from society, your parents or even your pride - are eating you up. It's time to fear not. Please have a listen.

Oftentimes we allow out eternal identities to be determined by our temporary feelings. This is dangerous, as it makes us vulnerable to satan's influences. We need to find a way to make our feelings conform to our identity, not the other way around.

Jesus never did a miracle with the purpose of PROVING anything to anybody. Everything He did was to serve others. He didn't make a reputation while concerned with the superficial, but by being concerned with service. This is an example we need to emulate. No need to proving what you already know - let your service reveal to "them" who you are.

The obstacles you faced in the past did not make you, nor do they define you. This is a myth. Your responses to those obstacles are what have the true influence on who you are now; Correcting the negative images of the "past you" is imperative. How we view our past selves can very well have an impact on how we approach our future.

We may encounter situations that are great and others that are bad, but that does not mean our mindsets or the narratives of our lives have to follow that fluctuating pattern. There is power in being moderately-minded.

God can chastise us for us to be stronger, not to harm us. Chastisement may not be joyful, but oftentimes those experiences are what we need for our faith to grow. When your faith grows, you grow.

Too many of us waste our life away waiting for everything to be perfect before we chase our dreams or be obedient to God. You're busy waiting to see "it" so you can move, while God is waiting for you to move so you can begin to see "it." No more waiting - work.

Can students be "too goal-oriented"? Is it okay for students to get so caught up in academia they neglect all of their other passions? Today Emmanuel sits down with his very first guest. Close friend, Michael Okene, got to a point in his academic career where he had to make a decision on whether or not he should continue to manage the UCLA basketball team or focus more on his med-school route.

The reason you came down off that spiritual high is not because God wore off. Sometimes the reason we lose the new ideas and messages God has given us is because we still operate with an old mindset. New wine needs new wineskins; God needs your imagination to grow parallel to the visions He's giving you.

When our prayers have aligned with God, God gives us what we ask for. The true mission comes in our process of receiving that blessing. We need the faith and attentive ears needed to follow instructions and not faint. When we realize how God has already given us what we prayed for it helps us to acknowledge the inevitability of our destiny.
