Not every thought comes from your heart.
Some are planted to test your guard.
Ever found yourself wrestling with thoughts that feel foreign or even a little dangerous? In this episode, Olúwàtosìn uncovers the deeper truth: not all thoughts originate from within. Some are planted by trauma, temptation, or even the enemy testing how alert we truly are. Together, we explore how to take every thought captive, the difference between natural desires and spiritual attacks, and how to respond without shame. Raw, reflective, and rich with insight.
We all have our own Sugar Candy Mountain—a place where things never go wrong, where loss doesn’t sting, and life feels effortless. But what happens when reality crashes in? When goodbyes come too soon, when grief lingers longer than expected, when faith feels fragile?
This episode is a journey through love, loss, and the unexpected ways God shows up—not just on the mountaintops but in the valleys, in the silence, in the ache. Because even when the sweetness fades, He is still there.
Happy New Month!
For February, we explore a profound truth: being saved but not fully experiencing the fullness of God’s promises because we settle instead of living in dominion. Drawing insights from Leviticus 2, I share a lesson on obedience, patience, and listening to God’s instructions completely. We’ll uncover how embracing God’s process leads us from merely existing to truly thriving in His purpose and abundance.
2025 is my YEAR!

Ever been so offended that holding on to your anger felt like the only option? In this episode, I share a story of how I was *assaulted*—a moment that stirred up deep frustration. What made it even harder was that the person responsible didn’t even apologize. In fact, they told me they were right.
Yet, even when given the perfect opportunity to retaliate, I didn’t.
This experience taught me a powerful lesson: you might never get the apology you deserve, but doing the right thing isn’t dependent on others’ actions. Sometimes, being right—and staying right—speaks louder than anger ever could.
Join me as I unpack this story and the little lesson it left behind.
Have you ever felt the weight of doing good, especially when it’s inconvenient? In this episode, I share a personal story about stepping out to help someone despite my discomfort—and how I found myself wrestling with unmet expectations. A simple thank-you would’ve sufficed, but what I got instead was far greater: a life-changing insight from the Holy Spirit that set me free. Together, we’ll unpack how to encourage yourself in the Lord, embrace the discomfort of giving, and find joy in knowing that God’s rewards surpass human gratitude every time.
In a world full of labels and identities, how do you really know where you belong? This episode explores what it means to be more than just a name or a label—to be a child of God. Together, we’ll look at the signs, the heart changes, and the quiet moments that reveal a true connection with Him. If you’ve ever wondered how to feel more rooted in your spiritual identity, tune in as we unpack what it means to truly know you’re one of His.
