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.

As you begin a new school year, or any challenge for that matter, I want you to remember to never doubt the power of God moving through you. If you're anything like me, you have trouble keeping your confidence levels up, and always imagine yourself crumbling under the weight of the pressure. But do not forget that if God called you to it, He will make you everything He needs you to be to conquer it.

This week I had an epiphany about God's faithfulness. As I enter my sophomore year of my Masters Program, I am at peace knowing God is faithful (loyal) to me and will help me endure and overcome the semester. Think about it this way, God is more faithful to you than a person who decides to remain with their spouse after they've committed adultery. I know that's very specific, but it's something that truly captures a glimpse of the undeserving love God showers over us.

I felt like there was more that needed to be shared about spiritual warfare, so here's part 2 to our discussion in episode 159. How do we fight against spiritual warfare, and why is it so important for us to practice our spiritual disciplines in this time even if we don't feel like it? If you've had to deal with intrusive thoughts trying to rule over your life, let's talk about it.

This week, I uncover episode 99, where I discussed how following God's way can sometimes look like you are missing "opportunities." 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.

Spiritual warfare is real but isn't talked about enough, so let's change that. Coming off a challenging week filled with spiritual warfare, I wanted to take this time to preach on both the importance of acknowledging spiritual warfare and how we ought to fight against it.

This week, I dove into the archives to recover an episode withNatalia Casiano. I invited her onto the podcast to have a very touching conversation about her struggle with homosexuality, her story of coming to know Christ, and the role that a loving "Christian community" played throughout the entire journey.

For many of us who found Christ at a young age, every now and then we might wrestle with the thought of us missing out on living a "full life" in our youth. For us, our days have consisted of service, sacrifice and responsibilities that can all be quite challenging and tiring. So...did we make the right choice to serve Christ or are we just missing out on all the "fun?"

There i was... scrolling down Tik Tok, when I stumbled upon a Tik Tok Creator that had some interesting things to say about Yahweh. She argued that God was egotistical; why else would He be forcing us to worship Him and give Him all the glory, honor and praise? I'm sure many of you might have asked this question before...so let's answer it.

There's so much art and media out there in the world...and for some reason not many of them have something positive to say about Christianity. Are people just being "creative" or is there a deeper explanation to what could be going on?

This one might be a touchy topic, but it's one that needs to be spoken on nonetheless. Many of us carry physical "flaws" that make us hate ourselves, and it's time for us to understand that our flaws do not warrant self-hatred. Let's unpack.
