Emotional conversations with Esther Johnson

There are so many things a father's love can do and so many things that a lack of it destroys. I believe that God gives us the greatest example of a father's love. His love is sacrificial, patient, kind, humble, honest, forgiving, faithful, and selfless . It's constant and never changes. On this episode of Speaking Arrangements, I sat down with my father Pastor Emmanuel to talk abou...

Have you ever seen an ugly picture of yourself on social media? A notification pops up and you can’t un-tag yourself fast enough because that face, you’re making is just the worst. Now, imagine that notification popping up, but this time when you open it you see something you can’t believe. Something criminal, and sadly, something everyone else can see now too. I got one of those notifications onc...

"Haters’ gonna hate, ” song lyrics pop into my head when I think about OPPS.  This song takes on jealousy and haters in a light-hearted way; to simply shake it off.  However, it’s not that easy to shake off family members and fake friends that are full of hate and jealousy. We all tend to take negative comments to heart, even when we don’t know the person well but choose to ignore these trait...

Are you the real OPP in your life? Most times we blame others for our insecurities and self-doubt but most times the real OPP lives inside.  Self-hatred develops over time. It's typically triggered by more than one factor, including past trauma, perfectionism, false expectations, social comparisons, and several learned behaviours. When you allow yourself to let go of the negative critic, you...

In the dictionary, grace is defined as courteous goodwill. Meaning, it’s not asked for nor deserved, but is freely given. Mercy on the flip side is the compassion and kindness shown to people whom it is in one’s power to punish or harm not that's its right. It is an act meant to relieve yourself and the offender of suffering.  Send me your inspirational stories and feedback! We want to hear f...

It is mid-year, and you are freaking out about what's left on your to-do list. Things feel like they are falling apart, and if the evil one tries you one more time, you might catch a case 😩 . You know what GOD said to you, and the vision is clear. Long nights, overtime at your 9-5 sowing seeds; You are putting in WORK. Nothing seems to be manifesting, and the year is almost over 🤔 .

Anything Worthwhile Takes Hard Work Anything that is worthwhile achieving in this world takes dedication and hard work. It requires considerable effort, thought and time invested in performing tasks and in acquiring the necessary knowledge, skills, resources, and experience that will help you to ultimately attain your desired outcomes.  GOD knows I struggle with this principle 😩. Hence why I have...

What are your real motives behind the desire to be successful? Is it self validating? or perhaps for monetary gain? For a long time, I wanted to be successful, so I could prove to everyone that had never believed in me;  that I had done something with my life. It was my sole motivation; everything I did was empowered by insecurities and the hurtful things people had said over the years. Until the...

True self-love is The commitment to objectively know me as I am, to fully experience life as it comes to me, and to honour my potential by continually seeking ways to grow. Why is self-love so important? ... Another famous line from the Bible — “Love your neighbour as yourself” — also points to this truth. Send me your inspirational stories and feedback!

Perhaps we unconsciously think that if you "worry enough," you can stop bad things from happening. But the truth is you can't. Worrying can actually affect the body in ways that may surprise you. When our worrying becomes excessive, it can lead to feelings of anxiety and even cause you to be physically ill.  In this episode, I take a closer look at the dangers of worrying and what i...

 What an interesting year 2020 was. Out with the old and in with the new. GOD has been amazing to me and my family, nevertheless. From battles with depression, lost relationships, the fear of the unknown and sudden deaths he protected me through it all. So many goals I didn’t meet places I didn’t get to see it started to take a toll on me and I didn’t even realize.  As the year started to round up...

Jealousy and envy are highly related.  They are the result of the toxic combination of anxiety-based insecurity, anger, and an obsession with comparing oneself to others (often very poorly).  Jealousy also has a very strong root in fear- especially of losing praise or love from the object of one’s affection, or that something that one has will be taken from them. It is also rooted in an individual...

Delay doesn't mean denial, it just means wait. Waiting can be hard for us because society doesn't believe in it. If things do not come in an instant then we move on or give up. Patience is a virtue that needs to be appreciated more. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11)  J...

I don't know about you but i oftentimes slow down and do some self-reflection. We're so busy with our lives that we can get caught up and neglect one of the most important things our hearts.

A confrontation can be at any scale, between any number of people, between entire nations or cultures, or between living things other than humans. In today's episode, i discuss how to engage in healthy confrontation. With the right tools, you can...

Let's say i met my 20-year-old self, I would sit down for a long chat. I would have a serious discussion to guide her through the coming years. More importantly, I’d have to write down my advice so she wouldn’t forget. Like many people, I made a ton of mistakes — along the way, I learned to relax a bit and learned a lot of lessons about building the life i want. If I could go back in time, he...

I hope my experience will bless you and give you the motivation you need to love yourself flaws and all. Send me your...

Lots of things make us feel afraid. Being afraid of some things – like fires – can keep you safe. Fearing failure can make you try to do well so that you won’t fail, but it can also stop you from doing well if the feeling is too strong. What you’re afraid of and how you act when you’re afraid of something can vary per person. Just knowing what makes you afraid and why can be the first step to sort...
