Losing a parent in childhood is a painful experience for anyone to go through and becoming a spouse and parent later could trigger the grief of loss. In this conversation we discuss the loss of a mother for our Guest Golda at the age of 13 years old and the impact it had on her faith in God. Golda also discusses how she navigated key milestones in her adulthood e.g. marriage and becoming a parent without her biological mother. However, In Golda's late teens, her new found faith in God proved key to her healing to being the mother and wife she is today.

Guests: Golda and Lemuel Boateng

We celebrated 8 years of marriage this week, and in this conversation we reflect on how as newly-weds, when the honeymoon period fades, one can quickly feel that they may have married the wrong person. Yet we share that with humility, patience and prayer, a married couple must decide to love unconditionally and create their own piece of paradise with their spouse.

If you haven’t listened to our latest pod, I’d encourage you to listen to our conversation with Jasmine Dickinson our amazing Aupair from Australia who had to return unexpectedly back home because of Covid-19. Jasmine hadn’t previously known any black people before moving thousands of miles to live in our home. This didn’t become a barrier for her or her parents. They weren’t afraid of difference. We had the joy of living with Jasmine for 13 months and she is now family! Whilst Jasmine was with us she wrote monthly newsletters to friends and family in Australia. I know her experience living with us impacted not just her but her community’s perspective of black people and I am confident we helped break black stereotypes in her home town because of our decision to host Jasmine and for hers to aupair for us.

Finding the perfect Aupair: overcoming racial and cultural barriers.
In our conversation, we also demystify the process of finding (the perfect) Aupair too as we get a lot of questions about the process, so if you haven’t had a listen please do. Link in bio 👆🏾

Today we celebrate 8 years of marriage, 8 years of loving, 8 years of learning, 8 years of building, 8 years of partnership, 8 years of changing and maturing. To God be the glory that through the ups and downs we have so much to be grateful for. It’s not the achievements or the accolades but it is the love that binds us in union as one flesh. I love you Alex, thank you for loving me unconditionally. You are a faithful and loyal husband and I am so blessed. The number 8 represents new beginnings, I’m looking forward to what God has in store for us ❤️

A time will come where God calls you to step out of the boat and do what may even seem impossible to you. However, it may go without saying that to step out of the boat may even rock some relationships, but it is important to stay obedient to the call of God over your life. We share how we left our church of over over 22 years to start our new church Alive City Church. Relying on God for strength, wisdom and guidance is crucial as you close one door and enter another. God is faithful!

How are black men processing what is happening right now in America? What is it really like being a black man living in America? We sit down with 4 black men living in America representing shades of blackness from a Ghanaian Canadian, Black British, a Ghanaian American and an African America. They are all from different personal and professional backgrounds but have one thing in common - They are black. They share personal and professional experiences of racial oppression in the country they call home. We explore police civilian prejudice, brutality and intimidation, the complexities of the justice system and health disparities that have become even more exposed with the onset of Covid-19. These men share their view on the US' government's response to Covid-19 in comparison to the response of the Opioid crisis. The impact on the black community in America has been compounded by the recent tragedies with the death of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Tune in to hear their insights, personal stories, and suggested solutions to break the back of racism.

When you fall in love and get married you want to ‘give your heart’ to the other person, but the Bible tells us that out of the heart flows the issues of life. There are a lot of hidden or latent issues that we would definitely think twice about giving to another person. When we think about falling in love and being ready to commit to someone such that you would give your heart to them, there is always stuff that we need to face up to, own and get rid of. These issues mostly come to the surface when we are squeezed or under pressure. In the context of a marriage setting, when life happens, at one stage or another these things come out and get exposed. The issues range from all sorts of things that you would want to hide from someone you love such as laziness, selfishness, unforgiveness, bitterness, anger, lust or even something like the love of money as we share in our first episode.

When we are preparing for marriage, we should definitely not be deceived that they will be sugar-coated and masked with love that we have for the other person who we are giving our heart to. Nor can we believe that these issues will disappear because we vow ‘I do’. Marriage in itself definitely doesn’t make them disappear.

One important lesson from our first episode is that becoming a Christian doesn’t mean that issues of the heart that you had previously simply vanish. We need to take them to God and actively work on them. Allow the Holy Spirit to perform a heart transplant and get rid of those things that you don’t want anyone else to see or to ‘have’. Then at all costs we guard this new heart by being alert, reading God’s Word, staying prayerful. This is how God transforms us to be the lover that we desire to be.
