Popular culture is a complex and ever-evolving phenomenon that encompasses a wide range of cultural expressions, including music, film, television, fashion, literature, and more. While it can be a source of entertainment, identity, and community for many people, it is not without its excesses and potential drawbacks. My guests and I spoke about how to remain disciplined no matter the level of exposure one has. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faith-dolapo/message

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."- Reinhold Niebuhr. Life has its different uncertainties which mostly come at unexpected times in life. Do we throw in the towel when they come? No! We live life being positive and optimistic that all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord, knowing fully well that Christ in us is the hope of glory. I had a great moment five amazing people who were vulnerable enough to share some of the uncertainties they've faced over time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/faith-dolapo/message

People experience all kinds of adversity in life. There are personal experiences, such as illness, loss of a loved one, abuse, bullying, job loss, and financial instability. There is the shared reality of tragic events in the news, such as terrorist attacks, mass shootings, and natural disasters. Being resilient does not mean that people don't experience stress, emotional upheaval, and suffering. Some people equate resilience with mental toughness, but demonstrating resilience includes working through emotional pain and suffering. In this episode, Coach Wale and I had a conversation on how to go through all of these with grace. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
There is no doubt that life is filled with a variety of experiences. Depending on the circumstances, these experiences can either positively or negatively affect the trajectory of our lives. At some point in your life, did you lose a loved one, and the effect of the loss altered your perception of life? Whatever your experience was or is be careful not to let it turn you into a tyrant or a mean person. The psychological effect of brokenness can include rage, anger, low self-esteem, insecurity, perpetual sadness, over-explaining, validation dependence, and unusual over-analysis. In this episode, my friends and I shared different experiences at some phase in life that broke us. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds... - James 1:2 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Being a single parent isn't easy, especially when you're still dealing with the pain of the experience. In this episode, my guest talked about the good and bad of her journey as a single parent. As a single parent, you will experience various challenges, but time and the right people around will help you overcome them all. The reality of single parenting will gradually dawn on you as you adjust to your new circumstances. There are times when they gently ease into your life and other times when they strike you. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
There will be significant differences in how four individuals with different temperaments perceive, process, prioritize, and respond to the same reality due to temperament-driven differences. As a result, current approaches to understanding these differences focus more on choice than on nature. In the event that these differences lead to a disagreement over whose point of view is correct, each assumes that the other is wrong when they aren't. It is easy to get caught up in never-ending debates that threaten relationships because neither party is aware that they have natural differences. In this episode, we had a conversation about understanding our temperamental differences and how to manage our relationships. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Vulnerability provides a sense of closeness to another person, and you to them. In order to connect with someone through emotion, care, love, or even trust it happens to us differently because our journeys are different. It becomes a problem when people try to use it against you. The breaking of trust, the betrayal. This can lead to issues. In this episode, my guests and I had a conversation about what vulnerability means to us differently, the power of vulnerability and the seeming problems of letting one's guard down to the wrong person, sometimes unknowingly. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
In the absence of a motherhood manual, it might seem like a stereotype already creates pressure on women. The purpose of this episode is to discuss the joy, pain, and other parts of being a mother, including balancing it with work, family, and other obligations. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
When I was younger, I couldn't wait to be living the grown-up life — a life without curfews, when I could live in my own apartment and bring home big paychecks that would let me buy endless clothes and pizza deliveries with no one there to tell me any differently. Of course, the realities are somewhat different from all the expectations I had growing up, and now that I'm face to face with adulting, I realize that everything I envisioned can be achieved but at certain prices. In this episode, I had a conversation with my friends about their different realities of adulting. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Regardless of whether a parent has been absent for six months or six years, the bottom line is that the expectations of both the mother and the father in relation to their parental responsibility do not change. In most cases, contact is the primary, and the most contentious, issue. In this episode, I had a conversation with my friends in regards to parental consent for a child among separated partners (parents). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Most importantly, perhaps, being street smart comes from different experiences. It means you've learned how to take what has happened to you, good or bad, think about it, and improve. The primary distinction between street smarts and book smarts is who is at the centre of the knowledge. In this episode, I talked with some of my friends about what they think about being street smart and being book smart. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
In popular psychology, a quarter-life crisis is a crisis "involving anxiety over the direction and quality of one's life" which is most commonly experienced in a period ranging from a person's early twenties up to their mid-thirties (although a quarter-life crisis can begin as early as 18). It is defined by clinical psychologist Alex Fowke as "a period of insecurity, doubt and disappointment surrounding your career, relationships and financial situation. In this episode, Adeyinka and I had a conversation about going through the toughness of a quarter-life crisis. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message

Relationships are dynamic based on the parties involved. Workplace or organizational politics involves the use of power and social networking within a workplace to achieve changes that benefit the organization or individuals within it, which could be positive or negative. Because we are human beings, we absorb information in different ways. To make sure that the information conveyed is understood by all, the method used for communication must be simple, clear, and precise. In this episode, my guest and I had a conversation about the dynamics in the office space. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message

No matter what your religion is, you probably would have had to grief at one point or the other, or you've experienced other people grief. In some cases, the residue of grief is anger, disbelief, guilt, profound sadness and intense rage, which sometimes lies subtly in the heart of the one grieving. The middle line between grief and rage is dissatisfaction in regards to a particular loss or thing. Whatever type of loss you've suffered, there's no right or wrong way to grieve. In this episode, my guest and I had a conversation about grief, rage and disappointment. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Emotional manipulators often use mind games to seize power in a relationship. The ultimate goal is to use that power to control the other person. A healthy relationship should be based on trust, understanding, and mutual respect. This is true of personal relationships, as well as professional ones. You can learn to recognize the manipulation and stop it. You can also learn to protect your self-esteem and sanity, too. In this episode, my guest and I reviewed common forms of emotional manipulation, how to recognize them, and what to do about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message

Humans are naturally logical beings, our wiring may sometimes hinder us from enjoying the fullness of all that God could be to us. Faith is a major force in our walk with God, which we may not be able to properly analyse with our senses. There is something called cognitive belief and non-cognitive belief. Cognitive belief is to believe in something or someone that you know and that you can see physically. The non-cognitive belief is to believe in something or someone you do not know. In this episode, my guest and I had a conversation about human cognitive psychology and our faith, how religion affects our cognitive behaviour, and other aspects of building a healthy cognition and faith. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message

Have you had experiences in which you were not sure if you heard God? Or experiences where you battled to consider what you heard from God as the voice of your emotions? I really need you to know that you are not the only one with such an experience. On this episode with Pastor Gbemiga Adejumo, we had an extensive conversation about hearing from God, conviction, waiting on God, what to do while waiting, what to do when my desires are not what God is bringing to the table, emotional balance and conviction and every other vital aspect of hearing from God. I am sure you would enjoy and learn. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
How well do you handle your emotional ecstasies and their other dynamics? In this episode, I had a conversation with Dr Toni on how to effectively manage our emotions and how to intelligently respond to other people's emotional outbursts, be it the positive outburst or the seemingly negative ones. Emotions are beautiful, they make us human. But they can also lead to major regrets if we allow them to control us. When you instead strive to harness the power of your emotions, you avoid becoming a slave to your feelings. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Purpose and platform are two different phenomena. Most of the time, platform has been explained as purpose, which is not. Platform is the position you occupy at different times in your life, which is most of the time a profession or career. Purpose is the force that keeps you impactful and fulfilling, whatever platform you occupy. In this episode, I'll be having an extended conversation with Tunji Gbesan on Purpose and Platform: Understanding The Differences. I'm certain you'll enjoy this episode, such as you did in the previous episodes. Don't forget to give your kind review. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
In this episode, I spoke about how I felt towards God at a phase in my life. At some point, I thought, perhaps God only answers prayer based on His willingness and not based on our faith, as it has always been preached. One of the major questions I had was “is it the intensity of our prayer that moves God, or His willingness to do what He wants to do?” I was really hurt because my specific prayer points were not answered… I hope you'll also learn that God is always good. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
No matter what your religion is, you'll at one point or the other face some life realities. A major advantage we have as Christians is that we have the Spirit of God who teaches us all things. In this episode, I had a discussion with Damilola Tunji-Gbesan on some of the major life hacks we can deploy as Christians even in the face of the uncertainties of this life. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Without a doubt, childhood is an integral part of our growth, in the sense that our experiences and exposure at that stage forms the foundation of our life journey as a whole over time. Your childhood experiences could either be a positive or negative or a moderate mixture of both. On whichever side your experiences fall is the basis on which your present and probably future perception about life are built. In this episode, I had a conversation with Coach Wale Adejuyigbe about HOW CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES FORM OUR PERCEPTION OF LIFE. I'm positive you'll enjoy every bit of this episode as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Genuine friendship is such a beautiful thing. Not the one-sided friendship. Friendships do not need to be 50/50 give-and-take every day, they should certainly balance out over time. If you by chance have a friend that crosses the boundaries unapologetically, then, perhaps it is time to cut it off In this episode, I had a conversation with Dr. Ayo Adesokan on the essence of boundaries in friendship and everything in between. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
Living Alone is not always easy. It can be lonely at times and not everyone is willing to share the difficulties that they face. That's why I've decided to create a podcast to discuss different lessons I've learnt while living alone, alongside my friend Tolu Adeleke. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
I'm more deliberate toward how I speak and how I carry myself, consciously or subconsciously. It's the balance between letting go and being aware of what I'm doing. It may seem hard to be totally aware and focus 100% on what you're doing. I'm constantly aware of how I'm acting and thinking. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
This podcast was created as a space for real people with real-life experiences that most can relate to and learn from. So, if you are a lover of rich conversations, then you're in the right space. Trust me, you won't be bored with any of the conversations, I don't like talking either, I prefer to listen and just learn, which is the reason I'll have more episodes recorded with different amazing people from different spheres of life. I hope you'll enjoy every bit of this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/faith-dolapo/message
