In this podcast episode of 'Take A Shot! with Emem Joy Emah,' I emphasize the importance of recognizing and avoiding unhealthy leadership and protection dynamics. I discuss three major red flags: the idea that any human can be our law instead of God, the misconception that leadership equates to dictatorship rather than servanthood, and the confusion between control and genuine protection. Using Biblical references, I explain why Jesus is the ideal model for leadership and protection and invite listeners to share additional red flags they notice. Join the conversation and learn why a true leader seeks to serve and protect, not manipulate and control.00:00 A Call to Action00:29 Understanding God's Sacrifice02:39 Identifying Red Flags04:00 Red Flag 1: No Man is Your Law05:03 Red Flag 2: Leadership is Servanthood07:18 Red Flag 3: Protection Equals Safety09:02 Conclusion: Reflect and Comment09:52 Closing Remarks and Podcast PromotionLISTEN/SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST(AUDIO) HEREhttps://apple.co/38mjBHI15 SCRIPTURES TO HELP YOU REBUILD YOUR FAITHhttps://subscribepage.io/AE9XWHGET MERCH HEREhttps://www.shoptakeashot.com/FIND US AThttps://ememjoyemah.comGET IN [email protected] MEDIAinstagram - @takeashotpodcasttik tok - @takeashotpodcasthttps://www.lemon8-app.com/takeashotp...https://x.com/EmemJoyEmahMusic by Dakkuma - Softly - https://thmatc.co/?l=E526D70FLove always, Emem

In this heartfelt episode, I share my deeply personal journey of overcoming an addiction to skin lightening. Growing up in an environment where my skin was not celebrated and often criticized, I struggled with self-acceptance. The turning point came when I built a relationship with God and started seeing myself through His eyes. By surrounding myself with positive influences and meditating on God's word, I learned to love my natural brown skin. I hope my story encourages anyone who struggles with self-image and reminds you that you are fearfully and wonderfully made.15 SCRIPTURES TO HELP YOU REBUILD YOUR FAITHhttps://subscribepage.io/AE9XWHGET MERCH HEREhttps://www.shoptakeashot.com/FIND US AT https://ememjoyemah.comGET IN [email protected] MEDIAinstagram - @takeashotpodcasttik tok - @takeashotpodcasthttps://www.lemon8app.com/takeashotp...https://x.com/EmemJoyEmahMusic by Dakkuma - Softly - https://thmatc.co/?l=E526D70FLove always, Emem
