Men are struggling. The boys are going through it, and most don't know what to do except seek relief through a woman's body. But honestly, bro? That isn't gonna solve the problem. This episode talks about the isolatory framing of men's struggles in society and the false solution that burdens women. ------------ Instagram: @danielbriggz Twitter: @danielbriggz Email: [email protected] ------------- Subscribe to my Substack: Cabinet of Introspection: expand your horizons

[About The Episode] We constantly hear many Christian believers describe their faith and devotion as a relationship with God devoid of transactions. But I beg to differ. I think transactions are at the very foundation of every relationship, and "faith" isn't exempt. This episode discusses transactional Christianity and why people might not be attending church as much anymore in Nigeria.

[About The Episode] Forgiveness is a concept that manifests itself across many aspects of our lives. We're taught it's a virtue of divine origins and that we should always, always forgive. But when the harm is done, the hurt lingers and forgiving is not what comes to mind. Are we wrong? Is it right to ask or demand forgiveness of those who have been hurt and victimized?
