Nato in un angolo remoto della Sardegna ottocentesca, Giovanni Tolu è un giovane che fa parte con orgoglio della milizia locale e, secondo quanto lascia intendere, vorrebbe indossare la divisa dei carabinieri. Ma dietro l'onore e il rigore si nasconde un uomo segnato dalle passioni: aggredisce un sacerdote e si trasforma in latitante. Prima bandito, poi simbolo di ribellione, infine di pace. Questa è la storia di un uomo in fuga per decenni, e del suo controverso perdono finale.Buon ascolto!Nota: ho integrato e corretto la descrizione: non è certo che effettivamente sia entrato nell'ArmaNota 2: mi scuso per l'inversione di due date (processo e assoluzione)Nota 3: è sempre molto difficile trovare fonti certe e affidabili se si parla di XIX secolo. continuate a scrivermi e correggere, per me è utilissimo (direi fondamentale!)

In this inspiring and practical episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Tolu and Arnold dive into the power of dreaming—and why it's something we often neglect as adults. From childhood imagination to God-given creative capacity, they unpack how dreaming, visualising and imagining are deeply spiritual tools that can shape our lives when used intentionally. If you've been stuck focusing more on your fears than your faith, this episode will reignite your God-given ability to see before you see it. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Introduction: “The dream is free” Arnold kicks off with a reflection on dreaming as a divine gift from God and how adults tend to lose touch with their imagination over time. 01:05 – Childhood Imagination & Belief Formation Arnold shares how childhood shows like Dragon Ball Z sparked a powerful sense of belief through imagination. 03:20 – Dreaming Intentionally vs Dwelling on Nightmares Tolu challenges listeners to shift focus from fear-based thinking to faith-fuelled dreaming. 04:57 – The Superhomes Analogy: “If he can, why not me?” Tolu breaks down how watching ambitious property shows sparked new levels of vision and challenged limiting beliefs. 05:23 – Creating Order from Chaos Like Our Creator Arnold takes us to Genesis, showing how God saw the void and imagined light—reminding us that dreaming starts in darkness. 07:08 – Seeing Opportunity in Chaos From workplace gripes to life's chaos, they talk about shifting perspective to see divine opportunities in disorder. 12:25 – Knowing When to Pray and When to Speak Tolu and Arnold explore the difference between asking God and using the dominion He's already given us to act. 14:04 – Faith Needs Action: God Partners With Us They stress that while God can work miracles, He often invites us to take action—just like walking around Jericho or slinging a stone like David. 15:40 – Childlike Faith & Imperfect Journeys Arnold reflects on how faith isn't always tidy or clear, but God honours the courage to believe like a child. 20:26 – Final Encouragement: Dream on Purpose The episode ends with a reminder that dreaming costs nothing—but not dreaming may cost you everything God had in store. Highlights From The Episode “We don't focus on the dream—we focus on the nightmare.” “Faith doesn't cost money, but it will cost you your fears.” “God saw the void and said, ‘Let there be light'—He imagined order in the midst of chaos.” “Sometimes you pray, sometimes you say, sometimes you just need to jump.” “Faith isn't always neat, but God delights in it all the same.” Practical Steps You Can Take Set daily ‘dream time' – Try scheduling 5–10 minutes to just imagine possibilities, without limitations. Speak order over chaos – Wherever you see confusion, ask God for vision and declare His truth. Ask for discernment – Is this a situation to pray through, or to speak into with authority? Write down your dreams – Make them visible. Habakkuk 2:2 reminds us to write the vision and make it plain. Challenge limiting beliefs – When doubt creeps in, replace it with “Why not me?” Relevant Themes Covered Dreaming with God Faith and Imagination Biblical dominion and authority Creating with words Childlike belief Vision and purpose Fear vs Faith Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

It's a "good" one!--Tolu Oloruntoba was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, where he studied and practiced medicine. He is the author of three collections of poetry, The Junta of Happenstance, winner of the Canadian Griffin Poetry Prize and Governor General's Literary Award, Each One a Furnace, a Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize finalist, and most recently, Unravel.--Andrew French is a poet from North Vancouver, British Columbia.

In this power-packed episode of the Reason to Behold Podcast, Arnold and Tolu dive into the gritty reality of “those days” — the kind where everything seems to go wrong. From missed meetings and disappointing news to internal frustrations, the guys share openly about navigating difficult moments. But rather than accepting defeat, they explore the biblical and practical steps we can take to reclaim our day, reframe our mindset, and keep showing up even when we feel like we're in a slump. If you're in the middle of a tough season or just had a tough day, this episode is a timely reminder that your response can change everything. Key Discussion Points 00:02 – When it feels like “one of those days” Tolu shares the chaos of his morning, including botched meetings, no-shows and unexpected costs, and how God challenged him in the moment. 02:23 – Choosing to worship in the storm Instead of letting the day go to waste, Tolu talks about intentionally praising and worshipping to shift perspective. 03:29 – Lebron James and the power of the 50% shot Arnold draws inspiration from Lebron's shooting percentage to reframe what we view as failure — even the greats miss shots. 06:47 – Failures don't define you – quitting does A powerful reminder that the only true failure is giving up. 08:05 – Shoot your way out of the slump Tolu reflects on pushing through a hard day with action and resilience instead of retreating. 10:38 – Galatians 6:9 – Don't grow weary Scripture comes to life as the guys explore the importance of staying faithful, especially when progress feels invisible. 14:30 – NBA playoff wisdom: losing forward Tolu explains how teams build momentum during a loss and how we can do the same in our personal slumps. 16:25 – The danger of pride and overexertion Arnold shares about slowly building back consistency, whether it's in the gym, work or life, rather than rushing the process. 18:55 – Discipline beats intensity every time Tolu tells the story of two teams on an expedition and how daily discipline led one team to victory — a lesson for how we should live. 20:19 – Think decades, not days The guys close with encouragement to look at life with a long-term lens, realising that how we handle today shapes the wins of tomorrow. Highlights From The Episode Worship can be a spiritual weapon in the midst of chaos You're still valuable, even when you're missing shots Resilience looks like showing up, even when it's hard Consistency outpaces intensity in the long run Don't underestimate small wins — they compound You don't need to perform at your peak to still make progress Every tough day can build momentum for a better tomorrow Practical Steps You Can Take Reframe the day – Instead of labelling the whole day as bad, ask “what can I still do with the rest of it?” Start small – Whether it's cold calls, gym reps or spiritual habits, just show up and build from there. Lean into discipline over emotion – Don't wait for motivation. Let discipline carry you forward when feelings won't. Don't stop showing up – As Galatians 6:9 reminds us: “…in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” Use your slump to prepare for your streak – Use low seasons to sharpen skills, strengthen mindset and build systems. Relevant Themes Covered Christian resilience and spiritual discipline Battling discouragement with faith Building godly habits through consistency Kingdom perspective on failure and success Biblical motivation from Galatians 6:9 Real-life applications of sports mindset in spiritual growth Connect with RTB For podcast updates, exclusive daily devotional emails and more, join the RTB community!

In this powerful continuation of our “Seeing Before You See It” series, Arnold and Tolu dive deeper into what it takes to actually live like the person God has already called you to be—even if you're still surrounded by mud. From shifting your mindset to activating biblical principles, this episode is packed with wisdom to help you move from believing to building. If you've ever wondered how to bridge the gap between your current reality and your God-given promise, this one's for you. Key Discussion Points 00:00 – Picking up from Part One Arnold recaps the previous episode's message of having hope even in the mud and introduces this next step—building forward in faith. 01:47 – Live like you've already received it Tolu shares the importance of aligning your actions with the promises of God. Faith isn't passive—it's demonstrated by how you live. 03:58 – When he came to himself (Luke 15) The guys unpack the story of the prodigal son, highlighting the powerful moment of awakening where he remembers who he truly is. 06:41 – Attacks on your identity Arnold explains how the enemy's strategy often revolves around distorting our identity and disconnecting us from the truth of God's Word. 08:07 – Dusty Bibles and distracted minds They address how modern distractions have led to biblical illiteracy and why regularly engaging with scripture is essential to our spiritual health. 09:56 – Prosperity through obedience (Joshua 1:8) What does it really mean to “make your way prosperous”? They explore how applying God's Word actively leads to fruitfulness. 12:38 – Non-believers prospering through biblical principles Tolu observes how some people flourish by unknowingly applying God's principles—even without a relationship with Him. 14:36 – God doesn't waste your gifts Drawing from David's journey, they remind us not to underestimate our current skills—your gifts can position you before kings. 17:29 – Train in the mud Tolu challenges listeners to use the “mud” season wisely—develop your skills, seek knowledge, and get better with what you've got. Highlights From The Episode “If you actually believed you were favoured by God, you'd probably try more things than you currently do.” “But when he came to himself…” — sometimes the breakthrough begins with remembering who you are. “The enemy attacks our ‘who-ness' to keep us stuck.” “Joshua 1:8 doesn't say God will make your way prosperous—it says you will.” “Even people without faith can prosper through faith principles.” “David's excellence on the harp positioned him before the king—don't despise your gift.” Practical Steps You Can Take Start acting like who God says you are. Don't wait for external confirmation—begin aligning your daily life with the promises of scripture. Stay in the Word. Reignite your love for the Bible. Dust it off, dive in, and meditate on its truths. Challenge the lies. When the enemy says “Did God really say…?” respond with what you know He said. Train your gifts. Identify your natural strengths and begin developing them—even in hidden seasons. Use what's free.

Praying Always | Mid-week Service | Pastor Tolu Ayeni

Grace and Glory IV | Pastor Tolu Ayeni

In this thought-provoking episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold and Tolu dive deep into the theme of seeing it before you see it — cultivating faith and vision before your physical circumstances align with your dreams. Using David's anointing as king in 1 Samuel 16 as a foundation, they explore the real-world struggles of being underestimated, handling the disbelief of others, overcoming failure, and trusting God's timing for your elevation. Key Discussion Points 00:00 – Introduction: Setting the stage for seeing beyond your circumstances 00:32 – Jumping into 1 Samuel 16: The anointing of David 03:44 – Dealing with being underestimated by those closest to you 05:31 – The human longing to be chosen and how it affects us 06:03 – Navigating the disbelief of others practically 07:43 – The power of belief from others versus disbelief 09:44 – When opportunity is denied: creating your own opportunities 10:47 – God's power to override human rejection 12:14 – Adjusting your expectations from man to God 14:07 – Understanding the timeline of God's promises 16:05 – Dreaming from the mud: when reality looks nothing like your calling 16:45 – Handling the consequences of your own mistakes 18:39 – Taking responsibility even when it's not your fault 19:15 – Recognising and leveraging the divine advantage 21:44 – The personal challenge of believing God will do it for you 22:08 – Seeing by faith versus seeing with physical eyes 23:22 – Different ways we ‘see' our future: belief vs. visualisation 24:04 – Preview of next week's episode: building from belief to manifestation Highlights From The Episode Being Underestimated: Like David, sometimes even those closest to us may not see our potential — but their disbelief doesn't define God's plans. Faith Over Disappointment: Adjust your expectations to hope in God rather than man, avoiding the emotional pitfalls of misplaced trust. Creating Your Own Opportunities: When doors close, believers can create paths forward, powered by faith and God's divine favour. Dreaming From the Mud: Whether due to personal mistakes or life's hardships, it's possible to envision and move toward a better future even from rock bottom. Seeing It Before You See It: Building faith-driven vision is essential when your current reality doesn't yet reflect God's promises. Practical Steps You Can Take Anchor your expectations in God: Shift your hope from people to the One who truly holds your future. Respond, don't react: Whether underestimated or overlooked, stay focused on what God has promised, not what others say. Start visualising or believing actively: Whether you're highly visual or not, actively engage your imagination or convictions about what God has for you. Create and move towards your opportunities: Don't wait for validation or an open door from others — take action in faith, knowing God backs your steps. Trust the process: Understand that the journey to your "throne" may include detours, delays, and developmental seasons — stay committed.

Immersion for Victory III | Mid-week Service | Pastor Tolu Ayeni

Ryan is joined by Nigerian filmmaker Tolulope Ogunrinde to discuss the history of Nigerian cinema. Then, they examine two of Tolu's favorite Nigerian films and the influence they had on his upcoming feature film that hopes to both cherish and challenge Nigerian culture.

Grace and Glory III | Pastor Tolu Ayeni

In this deeply personal and reflective episode of the Reason to Behold podcast, Arnold and Tolu have an honest conversation about one of the most overlooked aspects of spiritual and emotional growth — forgiving yourself. While we often hear messages about forgiving others, what about the grace we extend to ourselves when we mess up, fall short, or cause damage along the way? From high performance mindsets to the lessons learned through failure, this episode unpacks the importance of accepting God's grace and moving forward with a healthy, gospel-centred view of progress. Whether you've recently dropped the ball or you're still holding onto past regrets, this one is a much-needed reminder that your story isn't over. Key Discussion Points 00:01 – Opening Thoughts: Do We Forgive Ourselves Enough? Arnold opens the episode by asking a powerful question: how often do we actually talk about forgiving ourselves? 01:35 – The High Performance Trap & Internal Criticism Why pursuing excellence can often come with hypercritical self-talk — and how to navigate that without losing your identity. 02:41 – Mistakes Made in Pursuit of Success Tolu reflects on what it really means to strive for greatness without compromising character. 05:37 – The Power of Moving On Tolu shares his mindset on how he handles failure — "once it's done, it's done" — and the freedom that comes with that approach. 06:58 – What Does Self-Forgiveness Really Look Like? The way you frame yourself or others in your mind is often a window into whether true forgiveness has taken place. 09:04 – Learning Through Life and Business Mistakes Arnold shares a vulnerable moment reflecting on past business decisions and what helped him find peace through the journey. 12:46 – Understanding the Gospel is Key Self-forgiveness becomes possible when you understand grace — that we're saved not by works but by faith through God's gift. 14:16 – Seeing Growth Through the Eyes of a Parent Arnold uses the example of watching his daughter learn to walk to explain God's perspective on our imperfections. 17:13 – The “Next Play” Mentality Tolu introduces a mindset from basketball: instead of dwelling on one bad play, focus on what you can do next. 19:17 – There's Power in the Comeback Great stories often come from great mistakes. Don't rob God of glory by staying stuck in shame — your comeback is part of the testimony. Highlights From The Episode “Sometimes we need to forgive ourselves like God already has.” “You're going to make mistakes — but the key is what you do next.” “Understanding the gospel is fundamental to letting go of guilt and shame.” “The world may remember your mistakes, but God writes the final chapter.” Practical Steps You Can Take Pause and reflect on what you're still holding against yourself — is it something you've repented for, but still replay? Speak truth to yourself using scripture like Romans 8:1 — “There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Adopt the “next play” mentality — take your lessons, make it right where possible, and move forward. Celebrate growth the same way a parent would celebrate a child's first steps — messy but meaningful. Remember: your mess is a message — don't let shame silence the story God wants to tell through you.

Proverbs 24:16 – "The righteous may fall seven times but rise again." Resilience begins in your mindset—“Take every thought captive.” Flip fear—ask yourself, “What if it goes right?” Practical Steps to Build Resilience Strengthen daily disciplines—start small, like making your bed or sticking to devotions. Train in adversity—step outside your comfort zone through sports, public speaking, or personal challenges. Reframe failure—missing a day isn't failure, bouncing back matters more. Celebrate small wins—progress is better than perfection. Lean on accountability—trusted mentors and friends help consistency. Anchor in scripture—Philippians 4:8 and Galatians 6:9 provide strong encouragement. Relevant Themes Christian resilience, spiritual growth, overcoming failure, discipline, accountability, faith-driven personal development, scriptural truths for mindset and perseverance.
