Identity, Importance & Influence (John 1:1-5)

Was listening to this sermon I preached at RCCG Cornerstone Parish 2 years ago and felt so moved to share. Identity is at the core of what is being attacked in today. I pray this blesses you. I love you but God loves you more.

Discipline: The Only Response to God's Ideas | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E8

I have realized that if I am not diligent in disciplining myself, I also become an enemy to the life God has purposed for me to live.

Overcoming Unforgiveness & Comparison: The Path of Personal Responsibility | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E7

I have found it to be easier to focus on others rather than myself. Makes sense. We’re given two eyes to behold the world and others and not an internal mirror to cast a constant gaze on ourselves. This week on GOOD THOUGHTS, I speak on what it means to take the path of personal responsibility and our diligence in focusing on the work the Holy Spirit seeks to do in us. I love you but God loves you more ✨ You can also follow my Instagram as well: https://www.instagram.com/subomile/...

Vision & Bravery - Cornerstone Parish Youth Sunday | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E5

What do you think of when you hear the word "leader"? Do you ever associate being a believer to being a leader? John C. Maxwell offers a definition that I feel provides some guidance to answering the latter question. He states, "Leadership is influence; nothing more, nothing less". This week on GOOD THOUGHTS, I expound on this quote through a sermon titled "Vision & Bravery". Hope this blesses you. I love you but God loves you more.

You Need To Ask For Help | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E4

The Coexistence of Faith and Feeling Pt. 2 | The Art of Discipline | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E3

It's such a tight rope to walk giving space to your feelings but not being caught up in them. There's an importance to feeling what you're feeling but how do you progress that to faith? I try to answer that this episode and I hope it blesses you. I love you but God loves you more. Follow RELEASE on Tik Tok and Instagram @release.pod and follow me on Instagram @subomile

The Coexistence of Faith and Feeling | GOOD THOUGHTS S2 E2

GOOD THOUGHTS is back! I (Ola) apologize for the hiatus but wanted to use this episode to speak through a dynamic I have been trying to navigate this season of life; the coexistence between faith and feeling. Popular discourse dictates that both cannot exist in the same space but I have found Psalm 13 to defeat this narrative in a beautiful expression of both pain and trust. Hope this blesses you. I love you but God loves you more. Follow RELEASE on TikTok and Instagram @release.pod and on YouTu...

The Gospel | GOOD THOUGHTS S1 E10

This season finale of GOOD THOUGHTS, I felt led to share about the underlying message behind every episode of this show, The Gospel. I've felt as though the African church has not given sufficient attention to expanding on what the message of the Gospel means exactly. I could record a whole episode and why I think this is but that is besides the point. Having an understanding of what the Good News means personally is something I am realizing I need to reflect more on and maybe we all do. Hope th...

Spiritual Burnout... | GOOD THOUGHTS S1 E7

This episode of GOOD THOUGHTS, I share about my current and very recent experience with spiritual burnout. I have seen in my attempt to live an exemplary life, my inherent human nature can so easily lose the meaning for doing so. There are countless empty religions out there but Christianity was never intended to engaged with like one. When we do, burnout is inevitable. Hope this episode encourages you. I love you but God loves you more.

The Unspoken Doctrine of Self-Love | GOOD THOUGHTS S1 E4

Self-Love/Stewardship is a topic I feel we wrongly shy away from in the church. It's often communicated as a gateway to narcissism rather than an essential doctrine and responsibility of the believer. This episode of GOOD THOUGHTS, I (Ola) speak on why God deems self-love an essential responsibility of the believer for the sake of edifying the body of Christ at large. Hope this encourages you.
