The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: The One with Mom – On Faith in God

See that beautiful woman in the flyer? Yup, that’s my mother. For real! Yeah, I know what’s exactly going through your mind. I know. Like how come she’s sitting down but there’s no chair? Yeah, there’s an online app called background remover that makes your picture pop like this, and no, I was not adopted. Haha. I was super excited to bring mom back on this show to talk about something she’s super passionate about – her faith.

My mom has always been that person who helped me lay a strong foundation of faith, and she still remains a woman of faith and prayer (it’s one of the reasons I can sleep soundly at night because she is always praying). But the process of laying that foundation was undoubtedly not easy because of the many church tantrums I threw over attending church and some questions I had over the whole religion thingy (yeah, I started out as a rebel, haha, no shock there). But like many African moms, Mother Dearest never gave into my wily ways. Instead, she tried to answer many of my questions, instructed, and instilled the word of God in me. I can say this foundation was useful during the period I left the faith.

In this episode, I played the role of a skeptic (hey, God isn’t done with me yet, haha) and had my mother answer questions on raising kids without religion, how to cultivate one’s faith after a protracted period of being away, and what the big deal anyway is about Jesus. We hope you enjoy this episode. And mom will like for me to let you guys know to send in whatever faith or life-related questions you may have as we plan to have more iterations of this.
