If we make our pool of comparison small enough, we can be pretty impressiveness. But in the grand view, we are all very unimpressive. John Onwucheckwa helps me converse and cope with this. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

If there was ever a time that large amounts of people were questioning their faith in recent years, it's now. Deconstructing faith can be a scary thing that we either fearfully avoid, or recklessly wield. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Affection between fathers and sons can be such a foreign thing, but not for me. A few months ago, I recorded my first podcast conversation, which was never released. I discuss affection between men with my father. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Though true and pure love is unchanging, unfailing, and eternal, the way we go about finding it, is not. As the times change, so do our courses that we take to find love.

I can't talk about catching flights and feelings, without talking about the continent I've flown to the most outside of the U.S. I sit down with International Emmy Award winning actress Thuso Mbedu on a broad range of topics generally focused on the intersections of Africa and Black America. 

The current global crisis is forcing us to change our schedules, but this season can still be fruitful for you. If we want to be beautiful gardens that produce fruit, and forests that rise into the sun, we need to be regular.

For today’s layover, I thought it would be great to have a moment of gently getting the mind’s attention and calmly bringing it to the now, the present. 

Technology and modern culture gives us the illusional hope that we can be everywhere at once. What does it mean to come to grips with being finite? 

Can men and women be just friends? How? And what is good friendship in general? I share this episode with one of my closest friends in life, Natalie Lauren. 

Yep. I know how I spelled it. Here's a layover until the next flight. 

What does depression feel like? Is there hope to gain control over and emerge from the fire? This week, I interview myself about my experience with depression and what the other side of joy looks like. 

In the 21st century, the average age of people getting married for the first time is increasing. Should we be concerned? Ezekiel Azonwu joins me in a candid discussion on marrying "late". 

The plan was to continue the regular release of Flights and Feelings episodes, until news came that Kobe Bean Bryant died. 

As science and culture progress into the future, religion can start to feel like obsolete technology. I talk with Atlanta pastor, John Onwuchekwa, about the experience of doubt and what it looks like to carry faith into the future.
