I've learnt, over the years, the necessity of being able to have difficult conversations about anything. To sit with the discomfort of a fringe thought, or look past instinctual disgust. Here's my recipe on how to have a difficult conversation successfully.------------Twitter: ⁠@danielbriggz⁠Email: ⁠[email protected]⁠-------------⁠Subscribe⁠ to my Substack:⁠Cabinet of Introspection⁠: expand your horizons

Men are struggling. The boys are going through it, and most don't know what to do except seek relief through a woman's body. But honestly, bro? That isn't gonna solve the problem.This episode talks about the isolatory framing of men's struggles in society and the false solution that burdens women.------------Instagram: @danielbriggzTwitter: @danielbriggzEmail: [email protected] to my Substack:Cabinet of Introspection: expand your horizons

[About The Episode]Relationships (and by conclusion, marriage) are a staple of our society. But lately, we ask ourselves why it's a thing and why we should want it.

[About The Episode]We constantly hear many Christian believers describe their faith and devotion as a relationship with God devoid of transactions. But I beg to differ. I think transactions are at the very foundation of every relationship, and "faith" isn't exempt. This episode discusses transactional Christianity and why people might not be attending church as much anymore in Nigeria.[Chapters]00:00 - This Is Important03:00 - Realising Christianity is Transactional06:56 - Transactions Are Exchanges09:31 - Old Testament Verses12:19 - New Testament Verses15:58 - Salvation Isn't Really Free19:11 - Christians and The Inadequate Church25:47 - What Sustains Your Religious Relationships?32:14 - It Doesn't Undermine Your Faith34:36 - The Point of It All37:37 - Thanks For Listening[Social Media] Email: [email protected]: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danielbriggz⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@danielbriggz⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[Subscribe To My Newsletter]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://briggz.substack.com[Music Used in Order]Jay Troit by Lax SuperlativePienso Viento by Casa RosaChase Waves by KarneefStarry Night (Classical Orchestral Melody) by Jordan CritzSnakes and Fire (Instrumental) by Par Hagstrom

[About The Episode]Christianity is the largest religion in the world, boasting billions in numbers. Chances are you've interacted with a Christian and came out of it smiling or fuming (50/50).

[About The Episode]Forgiveness is a concept that manifests itself across many aspects of our lives. We're taught it's a virtue of divine origins and that we should always, always forgive.

There's a certain direction that the conversation surrounding male vulnerability or just men being vulnerable in general goes, and it's always the wrong direction.

"I don't trust anyone. I don't think I can trust again". Many of us have been here (including myself). Some have conquered this, and some of us are still dealing with it. But the statement got me into a spiral of questions: What is Trust? What factors motivate trust? etc. In a series of upcoming episodes including this one, we'll explore the concept of trust to better understand it, and how we relate to it.This was motivated by a listener, Peter Taiwo - you can follow him on Instagram and show him some love: https://www.instagram.com/teepeerespect/(tags: psychology, trust, relationship)----------------Link to everything else: https://daniel.curious.page

A rhetoric that commonly surrounds anti-lgbt content and personalities is the idea that their existence is of existential threat and danger to children.

As a finale to the ongoing series on Romance, go on this auditory journey with me as we talk about our e(x)s and what marriage vows should be like. Headphones and the like, deeply recommended.

The idea of settling currently in our society is very controversial for not so obvious reasons. In this episode, the conversation with Rita revolves around the question "Should we settle or we have no choice but to settle?".

This is the second part in an ongoing series about Romance. In this episode, Daniel goes through various romantic beliefs about how we're supposed to love, and also how Beauty and the Beast is Trash! Enjoy. ^Content focus by Alain de Botton - https://youtu.be/sPOuIyEJnbE^.

Every African child (I think) has had that faithful encounter with dear 'ol cane. Our view of what it means to discipline a child is weirdly broken (in my opinion). So, listen to me rant on and on about it. But there are gems here, tho!

According to google, Useless means (informal) having no ability or skill in a specified activity or area, and yeah I'm going to have to agree with that. But here's another thing, that still doesn't change the absolute feeling of shittiness that accompanies it most of the time, so let's address that.

Happy Fathers Day. I bet this isn't something that's gonna ring loud in a lot of households on June 20, 2021. Why? Because most people won't even realize it's Fathers Day and this, is just sad. Fathers are a very controversial bunch, to be honest, but one other thing they are is a sacrificial bunch. Fathers are not unneeded, Fathers are ESSENTIAL to parenting, and I just wish they're as appreciated as Mothers.

FREEDOM! Such a broad term that sometimes I wonder why we use it. But, in today's episode, I simply give my thoughts on how I think it should be defined and approached in life.

Have you ever had something nice done to or for you by a total stranger? Was it a strange experience the few times you've experienced it, as it was for me? I think it's something special, beyond normal, when it happens. Have you ever been that Stranger?

The phrase "I know my value," like any other well-meaning phrase, has been used to justify pride, ignorance, and even as an insecurity cover. I and Tobou discuss how value is a subjective thing, especially if it's to have monetary profit.

Nowadays, an ordinary life is akin to a cosmic sin. The demand for greatness on everyone is taxing, and even small gestures of goodness are deemed to be not enough; you need to do MORE. DON'T FORGET TO SHARE.
