The TA Podcast with Tola Alabi

In this podcast, I talk about the arts—literary, visual, and performing—and what it really means to walk that path. I share why being an artist often puts you at odds with the structure of corporate and commercial life, and why the work itself goes deeper than money or success. At its core, the arts are not just something you do—they’re something spiritual. A calling, more than a career.

This is more than a conversation on marriage—it’s a deep study into God’s original design. In this podcast, I unpack what marriage was truly meant to be, beyond culture, trends, and assumptions. I also expose why marriage is under intense attack today, and how many unions that appear functional are actually far from God’s intention. This will challenge what you think you know—and realign you with...

In tough economic times, our instinct is to hold back—but what if this is when we’re called to give more? Giving isn’t just about money. It’s a word, a prayer, an act of love. Even in scarcity, you still have something to offer. Listen and be inspired to give, no matter the season.

In this podcast, I explore the concepts of scale and numbers, and how they shape our perception of value in what we do. I challenge the belief that impact is defined by size, visibility, or measurable reach. I also examine the idea that God is not impressed by scale in the way we often assume, and that scale is not a limiting factor in doing God’s work or in pleasing Him. Ultimately, I point to a...

In this episode, I take a deeper look at what really lies at the root of human unwellness. What if disease doesn’t primarily begin from external factors, but from within us? I explore the idea that before anything manifests physically, something may already be misaligned internally—within our attitudes, our choices, and our willingness to listen to that inner voice of truth.

In this podcast, I explore the idea of personal sacrifice in our strive whether for strengthening relationships, career growth or educational success. Is sacrifice a genuine spiritual principle—or sometimes a burden driven by insecurity, desperation and subtle manipulation?

In this episode, I explore the growing death of expertise—a reality where truly skilled work is becoming rare, replaced by an amateur approach to craft and execution. I draw a clear line between simply doing a job and genuinely doing meaningful work, showing how the difference affects quality, fulfillment, and impact. At the heart of it all, I connect this decline to something deeper—the loss of a...

In this episode, I explore the tension between being blessed and still feeling unfulfilled. I dive into where true fulfillment really comes from and how our inner peace is often quietly stolen. I also share four key things to watch out for—subtle traps that can rob you of your sense of peace and lasting fulfillment—and how to guard your heart against them.

God is in the details—but we keep summarizing our lives. In this episode, I talk about how we overlook the very moments where God shows up most: the subtle, unlikely, and deeply intentional parts of our story. Maybe the blessing isn’t missing… maybe we’re just not paying attention.

I share a recent experience of how God led me down an uncomfortable, mysterious path called deep rest. In this podcast, I uncover a rarely embraced prerequisite to enjoying God’s blessings—it’s not your good works or your hard work… it’s simply because of His finished work.

In this podcast, I talk about living intentionally, understanding that life is full of “troubles.” These responsibilities constantly compete for the limited real estate of our human existence, often trying to consume it entirely.

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end leads to destruction.” In this podcast, I explore the danger of assuming we always know what’s best for ourselves. What feels right in the moment can sometimes lead us down a path filled with regret. I talk about the subtle ways our judgment can mislead us, and why wisdom, humility, and discernment are essential when choosing the direction of...

Some of the limitations we live with didn’t come from experience — they came from voices. In this episode, we confront the narratives shaping our lives and begin the work of unlearning the lies we’ve quietly accepted as truth. Because sometimes the battle isn’t out there. It’s in what you agreed to believe.

It’s 2026. Technology is thriving at an unprecedented pace, yet creativity seems to be in visible decline. In this podcast, I explore what appears to be the slow demise of graphic design — and the shift from design as a powerful form of human expression to design as a soulless commercial instrument.

We all desire blessings but many of us can't discern a blessing when it comes our way. In this podcast, I teach on what it means to be blessed.

In this podcast, I answer a question on how to deal with the feeling that we are merely bring exploited by people in our lives for their own self end. Do we as human beings truly love or do we just use people to get what we want.

Time is undoubtedly the most precious resource we have on earth, yet many of us are poor stewards of it. In this podcast, I share a powerful principle that will help you see beyond the distractions and patterns of time wastage, enabling you to make the most of this invaluable gift called time.

What does it really mean to live a “normal” life? In this podcast, I question the idea of normal and invite you to rethink how you spend your time. Why do so many of us fill our days with activities that hold little real meaning for us? How did we end up on this treadmill called the rat race—busy, but not fulfilled? This episode is a challenge to pause, reflect, and decide whether the life you’re...

In this podcast, I explore a question from a young man who feels trapped between his parents’ expectations and his own dreams for his career and future.

Many of us pray for open doors and unhindered access. But sometimes the closed door is the blessing. It gives us space to pause and reassess, to confront ourselves, and to be protected from impulsive decisions we would later regret. It is not every denial that is a setback; some are divine redirections

In this podcast, I teach on courage, forgiveness, and recovery from hurt and trauma. I reveal why many people find it difficult to face and express these realities—and how that resistance can quietly shape our choices, relationships, and future.

We’ve all been hurt in one way or another. In this podcast, I unpack what hurt really is, what it silently steals from us, and why letting it go is both difficult and absolutely essential.

What’s the real secret to creating the right product? In this episode, I unpack how ego quietly sabotages the creative process—and why empathy is the true catalyst for product excellence. When we stop building to impress and start building to understand, everything changes.

In this podcast, I unpack why God’s rest is often resisted and how the culture of struggle and hustle keeps us trapped in constant striving.

In this podcast, I challenge the hustle culture that keeps people striving just to get by, and share why I’m no longer bound by it.
