What season are you really in—and are you living like it?

As we close out Season 5, we slow down to reflect on what it means to discern seasons, steward time faithfully, and trust God’s work even when life doesn’t go according to plan.

Drawing from Ecclesiastes 3, the story of Joseph, and lived ministry experience, this conversation explores the tension between planning wisely and surrendering fully to the Holy Spirit. We talk abou...

Advent isn’t just candles, carols, and cozy liturgies—especially for those doing ministry in the urban context. In this episode, Dhati & Missie step into the real tension of the season: how do we cultivate joy without ignoring the weight we carry? How do missionaries and leaders stay emotionally present, spiritually anchored, and resistant to despair when neighborhoods feel heavy, resources feel thin, and the world feels overwh...

In this episode, Dhati and Missie dive into one of the biggest shifts shaping the modern workforce: the gig economy. From serious side hustles to remote flexibility to “I need this job to fund my real dream,” more and more people are redefining what work is — including in ministry spaces.

But with that comes new tensions:

• How do pastors and ministry leaders steward limited resources when staff have multiple jobs?

• What are t...

Technology has always shaped how Christians share the gospel—from the printing press to podcasts. But artificial intelligence is different. AI isn’t just a new tool… it’s positioned to change the very basis of how human beings live life. In this conversation, Dhati, Missie, and Sho Baraka sit down to wrestle through the ethical, spiritual, and practical implications of AI for ministry leaders and everyday disciples.

We talk about:

What does it really mean to be a man today? In a world caught between toxic stereotypes, soft extremes, and constant cultural confusion, Dhati and Missie take a deeper look at how Scripture offers a better way.

In this conversation, Dhati unpacks a biblical vision of manhood shaped by identity—not insecurity. Drawing from Jesus’ life and character, he walks through the four anchors of godly manhood: rejecting passivity, accepting r...

What does the Bible really teach about the role of women in the Church? In this episode, Dhati and Missie dive into one of the most misunderstood conversations in our culture — exploring God’s design for women through the lens of Genesis 1–3, dignity, purpose, and partnership.

They unpack:

• The divine intent behind male and female partnership

• How sin distorted mutual dignity and purpose

• What empowerment and submission real...

In this follow-up to last week’s episode on deconstruction, Dhati and Missie sit down again with Jeremiah and Angelica to talk about what reconstruction looks like—how a generation is rebuilding faith, rediscovering Scripture, and choosing authenticity in a digital world.

From doubt to discipleship, from questions to conviction—this is a real conversation about faith that lasts.

Leadership in urban ministry comes with both opportunity and weight.

In this episode, Dhati and Missie break down what it means to lead when you feel unprepared, overlooked, or even like an imposter. Drawing from the IMPACT framework—Influence, Mission, Passion, Action, Commitment, and Trust—they speak honestly about sacrifice, unexpected callings, and the realities of leading across cultural and gender lines.

For urban mission...

We’re living in a moment where disagreement feels like war. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk reminds us not just of political volatility but of how far our culture has drifted from seeing the humanity in one another.

In this episode, Dhati and Missie wrestle with the tension: How do followers of Jesus engage faithfully in a society that thrives on outrage, algorithms, and tribalism? What does it mean to hold conviction wi...

Conflict is inevitable in ministry, leadership, and life—but how we respond makes all the difference. In this episode of the My BLVD Podcast, Dhati and Missie unpack what it looks like to engage conflict in healthy, biblical ways.

From Acts 6 to the tensions we feel in our churches, families, and communities, they explore:

• Why avoiding conflict hurts us more than facing it
• How leaders can balance authenticity with discretion
• P...
