Several times in the Bible, we read that what is impossible for man is possible for God. What does this mean in various settings? Is making the impossible possible a matter of faith? Character? God’s power? What might be dangerous about the possibility for humans? How can we understand and fully live within the boundaries of the possible while stretching to experience God’s power in the impossible?

😔 “What if the thing you’re most ashamed of isn’t the end of your story?” Shame has a way of whispering lies—telling you you’re not good enough, that you’ve gone too far, or that God could never use you again. In this episode of the Our Daily Bread Africa Teens Podcast, host Nuhu Gaina opens up a safe and honest conversation about shame—where it comes from, how it affects your identity, and how God’s grace breaks its power. Through Scripture, real-life encouragement, and practical steps, this episode reminds you that your mistakes don’t define you. God’s love does. If you’ve been carrying silent guilt or regret, this conversation is for you.
