Welcome to the very first episode of In Real Time.

What does it actually look like to walk with God in the middle of a messy, fast-paced world? In this debut episode, hosts Tosin and Tolu pull back the curtain on why they started this journey and what it means to live out your faith—not through performance, but through authenticity.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• The "Dallas Accident" Dilemma: Tolu shares a raw account of witnessing a horrific crash on her way to the studio and the internal tug-of-war between logic, medical duty, and the sudden urge to pray.
• Healing from the Past: We dive into our personal histories with car accidents and how physical trauma often leaves a lasting imprint on our mental health and "PTSD" in our daily lives.
• The Performance Trap: Unlearning the idea that we have to be "holy enough" to talk to God. We discuss shifting from a religion of "do’s and don’ts" to a relationship built on grace.
• Processing in Real Time: Tosin opens up about a heavy week and the power of choosing community over isolation. We talk about the importance of "venting vs. solutions" and showing up for yourself even when you’re tired.
• First-Gen Realities: Navigating life as first-generation Nigerians and how we are unlearning cultural pressures to find our own identity in Christ.

Key Takeaways:

• Life doesn’t happen in a vacuum; faith is something we have to navigate in real time.
• You don’t need a "perfect" track record to be a vessel for God.
• Community isn’t just about having fun; it’s about the vulnerability of calling a friend when you’re "down" and being heard.
