In a world where everything feels uncertain—economies shaking, values shifting, relationships tested—Jesus gives a timeless warning and an unshakable solution.
In this episode of Proverbial Minds, we reflect on Matthew 7:24–27, where Jesus contrasts two builders: one who built on rock, and one who built on sand. Both faced the same storm—but only one remained standing.
This conversation isn’t about religion as performance.
It’s about foundations.
What you build your life on when no one is watching.
What holds you steady when pressure comes.
This episode is for anyone seeking clarity, stability, and depth in unstable times.
Reflection question:
What happens to your life when the storm speaks?

In this episode of Proverbial Minds, I sit down with Matthew Caleb to explore The Creator’s Blueprint—God’s design behind creation, humanity, and purpose.
We discuss how dreams are a powerful way God communicates, revealing direction, purpose, and seasons in our lives. We also break down the three-part nature of humans—body, soul (mind), and spirit—and how dreams point to the reality of the spirit realm, proving that human existence goes beyond the physical.
This conversation challenges material thinking and invites a deeper understanding of spiritual identity, divine communication, and God’s role in creation.

In this episode of Proverbial Minds, we break down what actually happens to your brain when you're tired, stressed, or mentally overloaded — without getting lost in the heavy neuroscience.
I focus on two simple truths:
When it overheats, performance drops. When it’s rested and aligned, it becomes unstoppable.
But the real heart of this episode is productivity — not the fake, hustle-culture productivity that glorifies doing more, but the real productivity that comes from doing less of what doesn’t matter and more of what aligns with your vision.
You’ll discover:
Productivity is not about the number of tasks you do.
It’s about the weight of the tasks you choose to do.
When your actions match your mission, you become a highly optimized human — producing more, while doing far less.
If you’re tired of feeling scattered, stretched thin, or stuck in “busy but not effective” mode, this episode will reframe how you see your brain, your energy, and your work.
Tune in to learn how to think clearer, operate smarter, and live with intentional power.
What if the thoughts holding you back aren’t actually you — but old mental wiring that no longer serves your future?
In this powerful episode, Samuel Oladeji sits down with David to explore how to break destructive cycles, reprogram the mind, and turn negativity into purpose-driven momentum.

In this episode of Proverbial Minds, we dive deep into the silent war that happens inside us all—the battle between who we truly are and who the world pressures us to be.
Drawing from the story of Moses, we uncover how fear, anxiety, and the weight of society’s standards can silence your voice and steer you away from your purpose. But freedom begins when you stop chasing what you were never meant to pursue—and start walking boldly in your true calling.
You’ll learn:
Remember: the greatest victory is not over others, but over the battle within.
