The Awkward Dive

A verse tucked away in the book of Ephesians is the bedrock of this episode. A powerful verse that I'e read many times over that I'm sure you've also read is unpacked by the Holy Spirit in a way I've not understood so personally before. With this, I hope you receive it with fresh eyes.

The devil uses the same tactics on all of us to manipulate us. There is nothing new that he does under the sun. Our weapon? The Word of our Lord God. Knowing it, understanding it, so we can use it as our defence against his manipulation. He knows the Word too, as seen in his testing of our Lord Jesus in the wilderness, but when we know it and arm ourselves with the knowledge of it, we can disarm a...

Prayer is an intimate conversation with God that I sometimes overthink because I believe there is an art to praying. In this episode I share my awkward thoughts.

One thing about me is that when I face a challenge, my knee-jerk reaction is to talk to myself or call a friend. I do this not because I seek a solution, rather to just vent about my frustration with the challenge. I've now been challenged to do things differently.  Who do you run to in times of tribulation?

When it comes to a relationship with yourself, it's become important to save time to pursue yourself, your desires, and your needs. It's safe to describe this effort as self-love. I chat with Andile Mbete about what self-love is for him and tap into his thoughts about love languages and how he applies those to how he treats himself.

Saying the words 'I love you' is something I don't find easy to say. When I do say it, I have a huge lump in my throat afterward because I begin to question whether I'm sure of what I've just said and can live up to the expectations that (in my mind) come with those three words. Am I the only one who's like this?  Connect with me on Twitter  

There are many difficult phases in relationships and one that we're never prepared for is when a relationship becomes unhealthy. This isn't always because there's conflict, co-dependency, or control that takes place. A relationship can be unhealthy when it has no purpose in your life's journey.

Choosing to start anew not just because it's a new year, but because we deserve peace and real joy is the best gift we can give ourselves. The first step is to forgive ourselves for our mistakes.

Starting over in the midst of a stressful reality is a difficult thing to do. I'm here to remind you that it's okay to start over and that you don't have to wait for the end of a cycle to do that. Every day is a chance to start anew.  Connect with me on Twitter

Anxiety is something that is triggered by stress and part of the advice to deal with anxiety includes facing the source of that anxiety with the understanding that we can beat it. I'm reminded that God is our source of strength and it's time to hand the things we cannot control, over to him. He is, after all, our strength.  Connect with me on Twitter

Hey all! Welcome to The Awkward Dive. In this first episode, I dive into friendship and why we treat platonic friendship so differently from romantic friendship. A subject we're all familiar with because from birth we've been encouraged to have friends. To have people with whom we can share our life and experiences and possibly grow old together. Sounds more like our idea of romantic companionship...
