YouthVibes

We discuss this week with a guest who tells her story of loss, hurt and resilience in the face of challenges. This is the second in our four-part story series. Hosts: Joy Wazoh & Plangkat Musa

Real people! Real mess! Real grace! In this episode, our guest opens up about the mistakes she made, the seasons that almost broke her, and how God met her right there. You’ll hear who He used, how He brought her through, and how she came out victorious. If you’re young and wondering if your story is too far gone, this one’s for you, and like the Bible verse says “They overcame by the blood of the...

Nobody wants to become a missionary - not many people, anyway. We sit down this week with someone who's been certain of being a missionary since he was 4 (four!!!) and has been doing exactly that since 2009 at least. Dr Marten Visser is the Founder and International Director of GlobalRize, a digital missions-focused organisation sharing the gospel in over 45 languages over the world. YouthVibe...

Special anniversary recording. We talk about young people and communication with their parents, and switch gears to talk about our favourite moments from the last 5 years. Special Guests: Barr. Nankwat Kwotbok & Dr Istifanus Gurumtet

This week, we discuss the core of our faith. Many believers - young people in particular - have questions around their faith and so few answers. How do we discover the foundations of our faith for our own selves, and when do we decide for ourselves that we won't live based on only what we have been told, but what we believe for ourselves? Guest: Pastor Eric Josiah Hosts: Seth Ozigi and Nathanael D...

What does it look like when false teaching creeps into the Church? How can believers discern truth in a world full of competing voices? In this Bible Study episode of YouthVibes, we dive into 2 Peter 2 and explore Peter's strong warning against false teachers. Through honest conversation and Scripture-based discussion, we examine the characteristics of false teachers, the dangers of spiritual...

Have you ever felt guilty for saying no to someone you care about? And does that guilt mean you were wrong to set the boundary? In this episode of YouthVibes, we dive into the important conversation about boundaries in relationships. Whether it's with family, friends, or someone you're dating, boundaries can often feel uncomfortable, misunderstood, or even unchristian. But are they really?...

With use of the internet so ubiquitous in everyday life, this week, we ask: what are people doing online, and where are they hanging out; more importantly, what can we learn about how to navigate these dangerous spaces and how to guide others as they navigate? Guests: Matthew Hans-Bello, Keziah Ibrahim, and Nathanael Danbury Host: Timothy Liman

Our phones gave us the world. But at what cost? This week we dig into the hidden downsides of screen time for adults — and what it’s doing to kids growing up on iPads and TikTok. Listen if you’ve ever felt your brain fried after 2 hours of scrolling. Guests: Mr Timothy Odafe, Ms Marjorie Dah, Mr Unique Ochepo, Ms Joy Wazoh, Mr Jenom Makama, Prof Amaka Ocheke. Hosts: Mr Enoch Tyulen & Mr Zumnan...

With many individuals wary of marriage these days, we turn our attention to the subject this week. Why do so many marriages not work out, and what can we do to avoid the same pitfalls in our own marriages? But first, is it even required to get married at all? Guests: Dr Ishaya Agaldo, Barr. Elizabeth Dauda. Hosts: David Ocheke, Yvonne Ya'akugh

Music is an integral part of so many lives; it moves people in various ways, and is an important part of worship in the Church. If music is so important, how should we consider its role in our lives? Guests: Mr Israel Daniel & Mr Benaiah Usman Hosts: Plangkat Musa & Joy Wazoh

For many people, finding friends is the hardest thing there is. In some other situations, loneliness creeps up at the most unexpected moments, and all the relationships we thought we had can seem insufficient. We talk this week on YouthVibes about loneliness. What can we do about the moments when we're just down, and how can we shore up our relationships to better address this challenge? Guest...

If friendships are some of the more core experiences of being human, we turn this week to what those complicated, often messy, altogether wonderfully rewarding experiences mean for us. What does it mean to be a good friend? How do we gauge our friendships, and are we ourselves good friends to the people we hold dear? Guests: Evarista Dalong & Sean Yakubu Hosts: Joy Wazoh & Daniel Sule

For many people, the worst thing you can do is say something bad/mean about them. For some others, criticism holds no value, no matter how valid it is. What approach is right? YouthVibes this week turns to the subject of external validation. How much sway should people's words hold over us? How important is it that we listen to criticism, and how do we decide what is beneficial to us or not? G...

Is your life on Sunday different from every other day in the week? Are you one way online and another way offline? Who are you when no one is looking? This episode of YouthVibes deals with the specific challenge of living for God wherever we find ourselves. Guests: Jezreel Oppa Hosts: Elsie Jombo & Seth Glen Ozigi

With our community grieving and angry, we turn this week to an age-old question: when is enough, enough? When should the Church, or believers resort to violence? Is it finally time to 'buy a sword' as Scripture says? Guest: Rev. Dr Ray Chukwura Host: Daniel Sule

Hustle, then hustle some more or take life one day at a time? In a world hyper focused on success, we take a beat to consider what hard work means, what success entails, and what money is truly for. Guests: Barr. Seyelnen Molwus & Mr Hakeem Zubairu Hosts: Nathanael Danbury & Daniel Sule

Sometimes, it feels like you're stuck in a season of life, waiting for the next phase. How do you handle those waiting seasons of growth, and who should have input in the situations you choose to wade into? YouthVibes this week turns to the importance of waiting seasons, of growth, and of silence. In a hyperconnected society, where every life update is a post on socials, we take a beat to calm...

For most guys, football is a way of life. You live by your teams, you wear their colours, you even wager based on what you feel will happen. But can this go over the line? This week, YouthVibes considers the world of sports (football, mainly), and its hold on young men. We discuss the importance of physical exercise, and the value in companionship watching your team play with other people, and als...

Addictions come in different forms; some more sinister than others. This week, YouthVibes brings that conversation to the subject of mobile devices. Sure, phones have done the world a great deal of good and eased interactions in various ways. But they have also come with challenges and potentially addictive behaviour. Do you have an unhealthy relationship with your phone? Has it risen to the point...

When we get saved, what does that mean? Are we going to heaven at the end of the day, or can something change that? If salvation is a gift, can it be taken back or lost? Guests: Mr Promise Salawu and Ms Yvonne Ya'akugh Host: Mr Timothy Liman

Why do we have different denominations in the Church? Shouldn't we all be one big, happy family? Well, we dive deep into that in a particularly fun and chaotic episode this week. YouthVibes goes into all things around the various denominations, how they all started, and what each one believes. Team: Joy Wazoh, Nathanael Danbury & Jesse Wazoh. Host: Daniel Sule

Happy Valentine's Day (in advance)! YouthVibes this week dives into the biggest question of all time (we're exaggerating a bit): why do good girls not like good guys? We talk about it all: why girls think good guys are boring, what to look for in a relationship, and how to work first on yourself before looking for a partner. Guests: Barr. Jennifer Agaldo and Marvelous Clement. Hosts: Natha...

This February, YouthVibes dives into the Gospel in all its variety. How do we have one Bible and yet have so many different messages that come from it? We kick things off this week with the Prosperity Gospel message and try to get to the roots of the ideology with Dr Steve Daniyam. Hosts: Marvelous Clement and Jezreel Oppa

Disagreeing with your parents is about the most adult thing there is. And no, we don't mean whining about how they never understand you and how you hate the world - we left those things behind last year. Having a hands-down full and frank discussion over diverging paths is where the rubber hits the road and where you realise that good intentions and sound thinking can produce different outcome...
