In this podcast episode of 'Take A Shot! with Emem Joy Emah,' I emphasize the importance of recognizing and avoiding unhealthy leadership and protection dynamics. I discuss three major red flags: the idea that any human can be our law instead of God, the misconception that leadership equates to dictatorship rather than servanthood, and the confusion between control and genuine protection. Using Biblical references, I explain why Jesus is the ideal model for leadership and protection and invite listeners to share additional red flags they notice. Join the conversation and learn why a true leader seeks to serve and protect, not manipulate and control.00:00 A Call to Action00:29 Understanding God's Sacrifice02:39 Identifying Red Flags04:00 Red Flag 1: No Man is Your Law05:03 Red Flag 2: Leadership is Servanthood07:18 Red Flag 3: Protection Equals Safety09:02 Conclusion: Reflect and Comment09:52 Closing Remarks and Podcast Promotion

In this heartfelt episode, I share my deeply personal journey of overcoming an addiction to skin lightening. Growing up in an environment where my skin was not celebrated and often criticized, I struggled with self-acceptance. The turning point came when I built a relationship with God and started seeing myself through His eyes. By surrounding myself with positive influences and meditating on God's word, I learned to love my natural brown skin. I hope my story encourages anyone who struggles with self-image and reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.

In this episode, Emem challenges the common advice of moving on quickly from a breakup by entering a new relationship. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of grieving and healing from past relationships to avoid carrying emotional pain and patterns into new ones. Drawing from personal experiences and biblical insights, Emem encourages viewers to seek the love and support of God during these tough times. She advises allowing oneself to feel pain, pray for strength, and meditate on scripture, citing examples like Psalm 147:3 and Psalm 34:18. This approach helps in creating a deeper relationship with God and facilitates genuine healing and growth.

In this inspiring episode, the host courageously shares her personal journey of surrendering her dreams and timeline to God. With raw vulnerability, she recounts feeling inadequate and clinging to her one talent of singing as her purpose in life. However, when God called her to fully surrender her dreams, she experienced deep fear and reluctance. Ultimately, as she chose to release control and trust God's timing and plan, she discovered her true gifts and talents blossomed in unexpected ways. The host offers encouragement to anyone feeling the nudge of God to surrender their dreams and timeline. She urges listeners to trust that God's ways are higher and his plans are exceedingly better than we can imagine. Releasing fear and comparison frees us to live in peace and abundance.
