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.

Last week, while on my knees in prayer, I told God that I disagreed with how He was handling situations in my life. I know this sounds crazy, but I figured that God already knew how I felt, so I decided to be upfront and transparent with Him. It's still crazy to think I told Him this, but I've been captivated with His response and I wanted to use this episode to share what I received. Hope this can help anyone who feels the same.

The shortest verse in the Bible reads, "Jesus wept." Despite the brevity of the verse, there is so much that needs to be unpacked here. Does God have emotions? Does He ever get sad? If so, what on Earth could make the God that rules over everything sad? Let's talk about it.

It's important to know that we serve an approachable God. God is perfect, holy, and powerful, and sometimes that can be intimidating. Because of this, many of us feel like we can't be transparent and vulnerable with Him. In this episode, I'll talk about God's desire for us to not only see Him as our master, but as our refuge as well.

A couple of weeks ago I suffered from burnout. God has recently been pushing me to take my resting periods more seriously. We all need time to rest and regroup, and this time needs to be accompanied with fasting, prayer, meditation on the Word or all of the above. Resting is not laziness, it's necessary. A lot of us think we are pleasing God when we overwork, but in reality, pleasing God doesn't always look like "working hard." When He says "rest," be obedient and rest.

In Part 2 of "Why Are Christians Lonely" we ask the question: Why does God separate/isolate us? Many of us may not realize that God has purposefully separated us from certain places, people and situations because the work that He wants to do in us requires no distractions or disruptions. These times are for maturing, but instead of focusing on God, many of us use this time to sulk in our loneliness...

Does God really forgive every sin that we've ever committed? Well, what about the really big ones? Better yet, what about the sins that you can barely forgive yourselves of? We've all heard of God's grace...but how realistic is it?

I wish we could all proudly say the only validation we rely on is from God. Unfortunately for many of us, even after we have received His divine validation, we commonly live in doubt, low self-esteem and feelings of unworthiness. Today I address the person that has been too timid to do the things God has called him or her to do. It's time to quit being timid and buy in.

I noticed many of us are feeling lonely. Some of us lost our friends and significant others when we started to take Jesus seriously and just want to know why. Is it something we did, or is it the "light inside us" that people are always talking about? Today, let's discuss loneliness: what causes it and how can we cope with it?

I've been sitting on this topic for weeks. Today let's talk about one of the roots of envy. No one ever likes to admit that they are envious of anyone. Envy is dangerous; it ruins lives and sometimes ends them. I pray this episode frees the envious person from that bondage, and helps you experience what it truly means to genuinely root for other people's success.
