Are You Living 'Your Truth' or God's Truth?
Couch Conversations by Hummingbird Journeys
"Your Truth" vs "God's Truth" "My Truth" , "Your Truth" popular terminology that encourages that we embrace, accept, live, our own persuasion. As popular as this teaching is, however, it's major flaw lies in the fact that our persuasions are fueled by our experiences, individual preferences, emotions, and circumstance. None of these are final authorities, neither are they solely/ consistently reflective of God. When pursuing "Our Truth" where do we place God? and what do we do when "God's Truth" directly opposes ours? This week, Pastor Mrs. Valerie Charles Chike Nezianya gives us a...

The Truth About Labels and Titles
Couch Conversations by Hummingbird Journeys
It's common for people to attach labels and titles to each other. These are often a reflection of how we see each other or the significance and social/ relational status we have ascribed to each other. These days, it seems as if the introduction of new labels is increasing. Whether positive or negative, these labels have the potential to shape how we view ourselves and set expectations for ourselves and others. In the need to be accepted and recognised, many not only adopt these titles and labels, they live in pursuit of them. With life becoming almost a performance to be validated. ...

Even When We Feel Invisible Or Forgotten...God Sees Us She answered God by name, praying to the God who spoke to her, “You’re the God who sees me! [El Roi] “Yes! He saw me; and then I saw him!” It's the only time we see God referred to by this name in the Bible, which speaks to how profoundly intimate and personal the encounter was.

Episode 20: Faith, Mental Health and Emotional Well-being
Couch Conversations by Hummingbird Journeys
It is often thought that being strong means not needing help and that, if a person does reach out for help, they may be considered weak. This notion is also present amongst Believers who consider that seeking help, especially when it relates to matters of a mental or emotional challenge, could mean that the person is weak in their faith or is lacking in spiritual discipline. Mindsets like these cause mental health concerns to often go unaddressed in faith communities. Our guest today, Mrs. Feona Charles-Richards, is simply a lover of people.

info_outlineAre you authentic? are you living an authentic life?
Our guest this week, Mrs. Tasha Glover, asked us some tough questions when she sat with us for a couch conversation. We spoke about identity and authenticity and how to live a life that remains true to both of these.
Tasha highlighted that we need to have a revelation of Who God is, for us to truly know who we are! Quite importantly, this woman of faith reminded us that our purpose in life is to please God by staying tuned in to what He is saying and walking in alignment with His greater plan. We are not made to fit into other people's molds!
This episode challenges us to ask and answer some tough questions. Discovering the answers is truly liberating though!
