In the film Sinners, the character “Smoke” lived by survival, fear, and reputation. But behind that name was Elijah—a man called to something greater.

Remember the old game This or That? It was all fun back then—but what if that simple game reflects something much deeper about life? Every day, we’re faced with choices. And while it might feel safer to ride the middle and avoid making a move, that indecision is a decision.

In this episode, we’re leaning into how life constantly presents us with this or that moments—choices that challenge us to step out of fear and step into fai...

How much of who you are is shaped by the value others place on you? Too often, we let outside opinions define our worth, influence our choices, and determine how we show up in the world. But real freedom comes from knowing who you are—without the need for validation.

Is there a difference between being content and being stagnant? Can you be at peace with where you are while still growing? In this episode, we explore the spiritual and psychological sides of both—how contentment brings gratitude and peace, while stagnation can feel like being stuck.

Since childhood, we’ve been taught to color inside the lines—follow the rules, stay in the lines of expectation, and play it safe. But what if true freedom, creativity, and fulfillment come from breaking those boundaries?
