The Parenting Manual: Raising the Bar for Raising Children (Part 2) 29.05.2026 38хв

"God gives children for two reasons: to the underdeveloped and immature, He gives the child they need. To the developed and mature, He gives the child that needs them." - Rodney*What does it take to raise a child who is confident, grounded, and built for life? In Part 2 of The Parenting Manual, Rodney explores the deeper work of parenting — from understanding the kind of child you’ve been given, seeing your child's potential, and earning your child's respect. He shares original ideas and his unpopular opinions on raising high quality children. He even gives glimpses into the kind of father and husband he will be. This episode is the definition of intentional parenting — one that nurtures the child's identity, sharpens their character, and prepares them for the world as it is. Current and aspiring parents are in for both a treat and a triggering experience.*Join WhatsApp Community https://chat.whatsapp.com/EuV3zaBOTULDngpOj03EWT?mode=gi_t*Follow the podcast onTwitter: @iamtheyounggodInstagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

The Parenting Manual: Raising the Bar for Raising Children (Part 1) 29.05.2026 46хв

"The average parent says, 'there’s no manual for raising kids'. Nah, I don’t wanna hear that. If you decide to have kids, the onus is on you to find the manual." - Rodney*In honor of children and Children's Day (Rodney's favourite public holiday), Rodney turns his godly gaze on how we're raising our children. In part one of the two-part episode, Rodney presents what he calls 'The Parenting Manual' for raising god children. He believes that the bar for raising children has been low forever, thus contributing to the low quality adults that populate our countries and communities. Rodney asks aspiring and current parents to offer their children more than a comfortable life and religion. The episode flows from the childless, to the single parents, to those with children -- offering uncommon sense about how each should approach parenting. He exposes the game within the game of raising different genders, passing on generational wealth, and the psychological edge of having two parents. If you want to know what intentional parenting truly means, listen and learn.*Join The Community https://chat.whatsapp.com/EuV3zaBOTULDngpOj03EWT?mode=gi_t*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

The Parenting Manual: Raising the Bar for Raising Children (Part 3) 29.05.2026 36хв

"As a parent, you have one job: preserve your child’s innocence and make sure they make it to adulthood in one piece." - Rodney*Children aren’t born good—they’re born possible. And what they become is a reflection of you, your wounds, your habits, your love. This episode is a hard mirror. We break down the mirror flaw—the parts of you your child inherits—and how your lack of self-awareness becomes their destiny. We go into the real threats: absent parenting, sexual predators, social media, and the quiet ways ambition can cost you your child. But it’s not all doom. There’s a path—love, boundaries, presence, and intentional design. This is parenting as legacy, not vibes. As soul work. As spiritual warfare. If you’re raising a child—or becoming the adult someone raised—this might just change how you see everything.

A Mother's Love: The Myth, the Hype and the Hope 15.05.2026 42хв

"A mother's love is the most conditional love there is. The condition being that you are her child and you never choose yourself over her.” - Rodney*Only your mother could love you unconditionally. So we've been told.This episode questions one of the most untouchable ideas ever—the love of a mother. Is it truly unconditional? Or is it just biology, pressure, and vibes we’ve all agreed NOT to interrogate?In this episode, Rodney attempts to go where no one has ever had the balls to go before: he undresses the reality of the relationship between mother and child. He also shares his experience—where love was real, but complicated. He uses a mother's love to start a wider conversation about Nigerian family dynamics, expectations of the first son, emotional manipulation, and the difference between providing for a child and actually loving them.In the final chapters of the episode, Rodney settles on a simple truth: If you’re expecting to be loved unconditionally by your parents or anyone, for that matter, you’ll wait forever. Only you can give you that.*Recommended episodeIn Defense of Mothers who Stayed For the Kids: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ8kQscsk9c*Follow the podcast onTwitter: @iamtheyounggodInstagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

We Should All Be Artists/ART IN HEAVEN 24.04.2026 35хв

"It’s less about the work of your hands and more about the work of your heart. Your attitude. Your worldview. Your approach to things. It’s living in a way that creates magic, color, beauty, and energy for yourself and others." - Rodney*This episode is a bold take on why art might actually be the real solution to our personal and societal problems. Rodney Omeokachie makes the case that it’s not politicians, systems, or even technology shaping the world—it’s artists. He dives into how art has been watered down in the age of AI, content, and clout, and why that’s a problem. More importantly, he reframes what it means to be an artist—not just what you create, but how you think, live, and show up. Through the idea of duende, he calls for art that truly moves people—and challenges everyone to step into that energy.*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

How to Know What You're Doing: Storytelling + Faith (Side B) 17.04.2026 40хв

“When I don’t know what to do, I do what makes the best story.” - Rodney*In part two, Rodney goes deeper into what it truly means to know what you’re doing. He explores how personal storytelling shapes identity, why vision is the foundation of direction, and how faith operates as a real-world superpower. Introducing concepts like “doing it for the plot” and the “triangle of faith,” he breaks down how belief, action, and self-awareness work together to create clarity and confidence. Blending spirituality, philosophy, and lived experience, this episode challenges conventional ideas about prayer, manifestation, and success—offering a powerful framework for navigating life with intention, courage, and trust in both yourself and God. *Recommended episode • To Fuck Around is Human, To Find Out is Divine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4eF00fbZ0I&list=PL0j_-q0B2dXCr9UzuoWx6m1FSqYWSLhNw&index=40&pp=iAQBsAQBsAgC*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

How to Know What You're Doing (Side A) 10.04.2026 41хв

"Some of us know exactly what we’re doing—and we are doing the most." -- RodneyThis episode challenges one of the most accepted beliefs of modern life—that nobody knows what they’re doing. Rodney dismantles this idea and offers a radically different perspective: that clarity, direction, and self-trust are not only possible, but necessary. Through personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical frameworks, he explores intuition, authenticity, societal conditioning, and the power of decisive action. From understanding life’s seasons to redefining success beyond money, this episode is a call to reclaim your awareness and agency. If you’ve ever felt lost, stuck, or uncertain, this conversation offers a new lens: maybe you don’t need more answers—you need deeper alignment. *Recommended episodeI Am Content But Unsatisfied https://youtu.be/lZX0Vo6laNs*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Maps, Compasses and Easter Eggs: When Your Life is Divinely Designed 03.04.2026 47хв

"I’ve always felt like I’ve had the compass to my life. Finally, I have a map to go with it. Now the question is: where do I go from here?"*This episode is a masterclass in personal myth-making, personal storytelling, and a personal relationship with God – and how they work together to create the perfect storm of self-actualization. Inspired by a rare alignment: his birthday on Easter Sunday, Rodney takes listeners behind the scenes of the personal narratives that power who he is – past, present, and potential future. In this deeply introspective episode, he blends spirituality, storytelling, numerology, and personal history to reframe synchronicity as divine design. Rodney offers a framework for becoming.This episode begs the question: What happens when you choose to believe your life is meaningful?*• 9 Books that Will Challenge the Way You Think: https://afripods.africa/episode/9-books-that-will-challenge-the/52f6925e-4f30-4e52-be3f-427b9ebf20a5• Tickets to Art In Heaven: https://selar.com/artinheaven*Follow the podcast onTwitter: @iamtheyounggodInstagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Knowledge of Power is Power: What Men Know that Women Don't (Remastered) 27.03.2026 37хв

"It is by design that women are endlessly fascinated by beauty and makeup but are clueless about the actual power of beauty and makeup."*An episode about power and how the knowledge (or the lack thereof) affects self-actualization in women. Rodney offers a nuanced perspective on power -- and how women wield it. He believes that women continue to be victims of oppression because attempts to empower them hardly go beneath the surface. Women are taught about everything, except the nature of power itself. Rodney has several theories as to why this is the case. He exposes why the power imbalance between the genders exists despite attempts to level the playing field. If you have an interest in power -- the kind that refines, not the kind that corrupts-- listen, learn, and let it inform how you approach power play in all aspects of your life.P.S: Rodney gets personal with a story about an argument he and his ex had concerning the 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.*Recommended Episodes Confessions of a Deep-Woke Womanizer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyaos3_JCik&list=PL0j_-q0B2dXAmuh_VO0y5XoaI0MOlpcMJ&index=143&pp=iAQB*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Hoetry: Hypersexuality. Over. Everything. (Part 2) 20.03.2026 40хв

“In a culture that worships money and sex, being a hoe is maybe the most rational decision a woman can make.”*In the 2nd part of this controversial and unfiltered episode, Rodney confronts modern “hoe culture,” sex work, and the commodification of sexuality. Blending spiritual philosophy, psychology, evolutionary biology, and cultural critique, he argues that sex is sacred—not transactional—and explores the emotional, neurological, and societal consequences of detaching intimacy from connection. From body count discourse to redemption arcs, celibacy vows to feminist debates, Rodney challenges both men and women to reconsider how they value sex, self-worth, and power. Provocative yet redemptive, this episode moves beyond judgment toward a radical proposal: change the incentives, reclaim the sacred, and rebuild culture.*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Hoetry: Hypersexuality. Over. Everything. (H.O.E) 13.03.2026 36хв

"Men love a woman for being a hoe... and then JUDGE HER for being a HOE."*In this explosive March installment of The Young God, Rodney turns his unfiltered gaze toward “Hoetry” — the culture, psychology, and spiritual consequences of hypersexuality in the modern age. From OnlyFans to strip clubs, feminism to fame, porn to patriarchy, he interrogates how sex work became normalized — even aspirational. With sharp cultural analysis and unapologetic judgment, Rodney explores the mental, social, and spiritual costs of transactional sex for both men and women. This isn’t a pearl-clutching rant — it’s a provocation. A deep dive into power, shame, desire, and dignity in a world where everything — including bodies — is for sale.*Listen to Sexual Intelligence II https://youtu.be/BRgckC60t_M?si=KTHyCuRQHd6JTai7* Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Love Will Save the World 27.02.2026 48хв

“If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.”*In the final installment of the Lovers’ Series, Rodney Omeokachie delivers a bold testimony: Love will save the world. Not romance. Not emotion. But love as a force, as discipline, sacrifice, and spiritual intelligence. Moving from biology to scripture, from capitalism to Christ, Rodney reframes love as giving—the only power that purifies ego, dismantles illusion, and transforms individuals and nations. Through philosophy, personal conviction, and the story of Jesus as love incarnate, this episode challenges listeners to stop observing love from a distance and start embodying it. Love is not soft. Love is not safe. Love is sovereign. And love is enough.*Spiritual Intelligence: We Who Walk and Wrestle with God*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Love Is Like Agbalumo (Remastered) 20.02.2026 27хв

“Loving someone is like sculpting—you either create a masterpiece or a disaster piece.”*In the fourth installment of the Lovers’ Series, The Young God revisits one of its most iconic ideas: Love is Like Agbalumo. Originally released in 2021, this fan-favorite episode returns—re-recorded, remastered, and reimagined—with deeper wisdom, sharper analogies, and a fuller understanding of love as both sweetness and sacrifice. Using the African star apple as metaphor, Rodney explores love’s unpredictability, self-knowledge, intimacy, patience, and growth. This episode is a meditation on loving well, choosing depth over speed, and why love—not marriage—should be the true human priority. A full-circle moment, five years in the making.**Follow the podcast onTwitter: @iamtheyounggodInstagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

The Risk (and Art) of Moving to the Opposite Sex 14.02.2026 31хв

“Sex is plentiful, beauty is common, but seduction is an endangered phenomenon.”*In this third installment of The Lovers’ Series, Rodney Omeokachie dives headfirst into the lost art of toasting—seduction, first moves, rejection, and the gender dynamics quietly shaping modern Nigerian dating. With brutal honesty, cultural insight, and wit, Rodney unpacks why men and women keep missing each other despite wanting the same things: love, connection, and partnership. From feminine subtlety and masculine risk-taking to nervous systems, intuition, and “same team alpha energy,” this episode cuts through online dating noise and speaks directly to the heart of attraction. Provocative, necessary, and unfiltered—this one is for people who are truly in the game.*Reserve Your Seats for Love is Like Agbalumo*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Hypergamy, Hoeflation, and the High Cost of Love 13.02.2026 40хв

"Maybe people would have better success if they approached romantic relationships like venture capitalists."*Modern dating is loud, confusing, and strangely joyless. Everyone has opinions. Everyone has trauma. And everyone is lonely.In this episode of The Young God, Rodney turns his gaze on the dating streets — from hypergamy and hoeflation to money, status, feminism, masculinity, and the quiet death of flirting. Why are decent people struggling to connect? Why does dating feel more like a negotiation than a dance? And why does selecting for “finished products” almost always end in heartbreak?This is not a soft episode. Expect hot takes, uncomfortable truths, and zero hand-holding. Rodney speaks directly to men and women about judgment, character, desire, and what actually sustains love over time. He also shares 17 hard-earned relationship lessons that cut through the noise.In a world that treats love like a scam, choosing something real may be the most radical act of all.A word is enough for a god.*Reserve your seats @ TYG Fridays*Recommended EpisodeWe Listen and We Judge -- Character.

Confessions of a Certified Lover Boy (Retired) 06.02.2026 45хв

"Do you know how rare it is, and how good it feels to meet and relate with a woman your age who hasn't lost her passion, her childlike sense of wonder?"*This episode is a bold, intimate return to The Young God’s Lovers’ Series. In this episode, Rodney reflects on love, longing, and the quiet decision to step back from romance—not out of jadedness, but discernment.

Why Worship Greatness... When You Can Become It? 23.01.2026 41хв

“In our time, no one has the conception of what is great. It is up to me to show them.”- Napoleon*In this episode, Rodney explores what it means to be great (and how to become it). Using Timothée Chalamet’s polarizing SAG Awards speech as a launch pad, Rodney dismantles fake humility, exposes society’s discomfort with ambition, and reframes greatness as honesty, alignment, and courage. Set against the energy of 2026 being the year of the Fire Horse, he breaks down the mindset of winners, the biology of consistency, and why a regulated nervous system is the real cheat code. He speaks on solitude, discipline, posture, loneliness, ancestry, ego, faith, and why most people admire greatness instead of becoming it. This is not motivation fluff. This is a blueprint. This is the sweet science of greatness.If you’ve ever felt different, restless, called to more — this episode is a line in the sand. Give Rodney 30 minutes, and you’ll either step into your greatness era… or realize how basic you really are.*Recommended episodesThe Ultimate Acceptance Speech*Follow the podcast onTwitter: @iamtheyounggodInstagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Mental health & Misalignment: Body vs Mind vs Spirit 09.01.2026 35хв

"People are moving misaligned. The mind is saying one thing, the body is saying another, and the spirit is just there, confused." - Rodney*In this episode, Rodney turns his godly gaze toward anxiety, depression, and the quiet contradictions that fracture modern lives. He challenges the comforting stories we tell ourselves about the state of the world, mental health, and powerlessness—and instead traces suffering back to misalignment, self-betrayal, and resistance in the body. Moving between psychology, spirituality, relationships, and lived experience, Rodney reframes anxiety not as a flaw to eliminate but as intelligence pointing toward unfinished work. He explores why calm people move through chaos with clarity, why vision boards fail unregulated nervous systems, and why peace has less to do with relaxation and more to do with inner coherence. This episode is not soothing. It is clarifying. It asks the listener to stop outsourcing responsibility, stop clenching against reality, and stop mistaking numbness for healing. If you’ve been stuck, spiraling, or searching for answers outside yourself, this conversation will feel uncomfortably personal—in the way that truth usually does.*Follow the podcast on Twitter: @iamtheyounggod Instagram: @theyounggodpod⁠https://linktr.ee/theyounggodpodcast⁠

Reaching 300 Episodes: The Creative Tea 26.12.2025 35хв

"Reaching 300 episodes... is the equivalent of Ronaldo scoring 1000 goals. 300 is evidence of dedication, passion, and a commitment to extracting every ounce out of my gift and talent."As is tradition, every 100-episode milestone is marked by a special episode where Rodney reflects on the journey thus far. This time, he does things a little differently: First, he breaks down the spiritual, biblical, historical, and numerological significance of the number 300, and then he plays the role of interviewer and interviewee, asking and answering the pertinent questions that go into producing 300 episodes as an army-of-one. He spills the creative tea, taking you behind the scenes of his creative process --- how each episode gets made from start to finish. He also talks about the sacrifices he's made, the dues he's paid, and the foundation he's laid for the next phase of the journey. All in all, this milestone episode feels a little different from the previous ones because -- according to Rodney -- it signals that he is closer to the end than to the beginning of the podcast phase of the journey.*Recommended episodes'What it takes to Reach 100 Episodes' 'From 0 - 200: What God Builds God Sustains''The Danger of an Untold Story''Rizz, Romance and Unforgettable Women''Sexual Intelligence I: The Power of Pleasure and Passion''Sexual Intelligence II: Beyond Pleasure and Into Sin'

Honor The Gift... or Feel the Pain of Wasted Potential 19.12.2025 37хв

"Are you honoring your gifts? Or are you wasting time, watching others honor theirs?" - RodneyIn this episode, Rodney turns his godly gaze upon the God-given gifts designed to give us an unfair advantage on our earthly journey. Everyone has a gift. While some have figured out their gift and are living in it, others are not as decisive -- they know their gift but don't know what to do with it, or they don't know at all and don't care to know. As one who is living within his gift, Rodney shares his experience of honoring his gifts. He lists the benefits and the unscripted moments borne out of aligning his life choices through his gift. He talks about how much more fulfilling a career can be when it is aligned with our unique gifts. He also talks semantics -- the difference between skills and gifts, talent and genius, and the levels to them. He then pivots to the darker side of things -- the pain of unexplored potential, the mental and spiritual anguish of ignoring or dishonoring one's gifts. He uses mythology and the Bible to make his case. Finally, Rodney encourages those who are standing on the edge to take the leap, with the promise that their gifts will catch them. If you are fortunate to be gift-aligned, you will enjoy this episode. If not, you are about to hear something that will alter your brain chemistry in unexpected ways. And if you listen to the end, you will hear about the greatest gift of them all, the one gift that is available to us all. This is the perfect episode leading up to next week's 300-episode milestone.
