Proverbs E16 - It's the Opps In Me

On this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss the importance of fighting against our internal opposition (Proverbs 1:20-22 and 1:29-32). Our biggest enemy is usually ourselves.  We struggle with our thoughts and our belief systems which prevent us from moving in the right direction.  When we believe what the enemy says about us instead of what God says about us, we stand in opposition to the word of God and ultimately we fail to align with his will.  Not aligning with his word and will only leads to our suffering.  We are stronger and can find peace through submission to God. It is time to take captive our thoughts and actions and submit them to the knowledge of God. 2 Corinthians 10:5 "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

Full of love and light, Philia is dedicated to loving all in need. Philia's giving heart ensures that her home is always full of those seeking shelter, warmth, healing and love, which she freely gives. Philia feels joy in diving deeper in her relationship with God and sharing her God given gifts, talents, and abilities with others. Her goal is to be a walking, living, breathing testimony of God's transformative power of love. The love of God shines brightly through Philia and anyone in her vicinity is drawn to that light.

Yemi - A native Brooklynite, Nigerian-American, Lawyer, Friend and Day One Christian. Yemi is a woman of passion and love for God. She takes time to understand life through the lens of her faith while finding most situations authored by God's comedy. Her desire to grow in faith came during her 2017-2018 episode of depression. She surrendered to God and felt peace in trusting in the Lord. God led her to start a live bible study and prayer call which flourished for two years with the help of her co-host Philia. Yemi desires to share her faith journey and struggles with everyone near and far. She relishes in the transformation and testimonies of others and her heart is most full when she is spreading love.
