In this episode, I’m taking you a little deeper into my post-deconstruction journey and sharing what I currently believe about Christianity, Jesus, and the things I was taught growing up in the church.This is an honest conversation about where I stand today, the questions I’ve had to ask myself, and how my understanding of faith has evolved.In this episode, I talk about:Do I believe in Jesus Christ? — Where I currently stand on Jesus and what believing in Him means to me today.What do I think about Heaven and Hell? — How my perspective on the afterlife has changed and the questions I now have about these beliefs.Is the Bible the Word of God? — My current thoughts on the Bible, its authority, and how I relate to the scriptures I grew up reading.If you’re also navigating faith, questioning your beliefs, or trying to make sense of your relationship with Christianity, I hope this conversation makes you feel less alone.Thank you for being here, Hero Boys and Girls! ❤️If you’d like to explore these topics further, here are some resources to check out:The Apostle’s Creed — A foundational statement of Christian belief.The Gospel Is Rest - Song Mentioned Progressive ChristianityDid Jesus Really Have to Die? - An article The Grace Culture: If You Believe God Couldn't Forgive You Without a Sacrifice, You'll Need a Sacrifice to Forgive Others4 Healthy Reasons Jesus Had to DieWhat Did Jesus Die For, Really?Original SinAre We Born Bad?An additional resource on faith and ChristianityResources Mentioned

  @HerOwnHeroPodby Ozioma OnukoguHello Hero Boys and Girls,My best friend and I sat together—as we do every year—to reflect on the year gone by.

Originally drawn to baking and cake decoration, her love for art, form, and color led her into food artistry and photography. Her work, inspired by flowers, film, literature, and nature, captures warmth, sunshine, and joy — images ready to adorn the prettiest spaces.We asked hard questions like :✨ Discovering the courage to embrace creativity over convention✨ The first time passion turned into real income✨ The hardest parts of walking an unconventional road✨ Advice for young women choosing their own pathsChisom’s story is both vulnerable and inspiring, reminding us that there’s power in following your gifts — even when it means creating a new definition of success.Join us as we reflect on the shifts, lessons, and milestones of our 20s, and celebrate the courage it takes to be your own hero.Dont forget to subcribe and follow us on all platforms and share this with your friends who are turning a new age :)⁠Ozioma's Twitter⁠⁠Sophia's Twitter⁠

  S6E1: How to Lock In This Year 19.02.2025 54m

  Hello Hero Boys and Girls!!We are back with a banger. its 2025 and we are back with another interesting episode where we talk about the Gen Z term for being hyper focused on your goals until you accomplish them 1. To Be Locked In 🔒🔥:Being fully focused, in the zone, and undistracted. It means you’re so dialed into what you’re doing that nothing can break your concentration.Examples: "Bro, I was locked in during that exam—nothing could distract me." "She’s locked in on her fitness grind, no cheat days!" 2. To Lock In 🎯✅: To commit to focusing on something or getting into a deep state of concentration. It’s like making a conscious decision to stay locked into a task.Examples: "Let’s lock in and finish this project before midnight." "Time to lock in at the gym—no distractions, just gains!"On this episode we talk about how to lock in as a woman this year. Women struggle to lock in, perhaps this is due to societals expectations, multiple responsibilities, or just the sheer fact that women do not take their dreams as seriously as men do,.now over to you "why do you think women find it so hard to stay locked in?" Share your thoughts and your own ways you stay locked In you can send me a message on Twitter or send an email to herownherogirl@gmail.com#womenpodcast #lockedIn #sticktoyourgoals #goalsettings #oziomaonukogu #womenpodcast
