The Root Of It Podcast

Yes fam, it’s here. Come join this convo as one of our co-hosts opens up about their personal journey of approaching sexual abuse in her own life. We know it’s a sensitive topic as much as it is real, risky and raw. But enough is enough. We are going “there” and as we do, we’re hopeful this part of a much bigger conversation will spark some dialogue to help us find freedom from “sweeping some of the biggest things under the carpet”.

So please share, comment or message us about how this lands for you. (Just please don’t @ Malia for using a tissue box as a mic stand while she was in quarantine - all to realise zoom had reset the recording audio to come from her headphones not the mic 🤣😅 lol)

We are preparing to release our 5th episode and this one is going to be a combo you don’t want to miss! We wanted to have the conversation about something that is a real issue amongst our three enthnogeographic groupings of the Pacific Islands. To some, it’s a heavy topic and close to home (🙋🏽‍♀️). To others, it will be a new insight. We are not ignorant to the colourism and the exclusivity of our interactions at times as people groups and we just wanted to have a chat about how we’ve navigated it as young Melanesian and Polynesian women with as much laughter, honesty, confession and love as possible. So buckle up and be prepared to extend that table at the end of this one!
•
Much love from your Melanesian and Polynesian pod hosts ✨🤎

YOU KNEW we were going to throw it to Miss for Woke Wednesdays today 🔥👀 what have your prayers looked like lately? Maybe there’s a shift that needs to happen. Here’s a way to make that shift. gave the gems in this sermon called Headwinds. We don’t believe in negative generational cycles perpetuating our lives over here. We lean into the grace and power of God and understand the freedom and authority He has made available for us to win in these areas. It starts with FIRST asking Him to change us and our minds and Rom 12:1-2 tells how to beautifully.
