Pink Glasses Convo

LightHouse Ministry

Pink Glasses Convo got its name from the Lead Creative - Olaoluwa Anjorin (Bakare) - who realized her bold pink glasses as a statement piece and part of her identity. PGC was birthed from a desire to grow and channel creativity in other ways after experiencing early burnout as a Family Therapist. PGC is an initiative under LightHouse, a ministry with a mission to share the Light of Christ and an intent to be the hands and feet of Jesus upon the earth. PGC is a brave space where she shares the struggles, solutions associated with the intersectionality of her identities and has real-life convos. read less

You should watch out for their paramilitary service road trip experience. This conversation was laced with a lot of vibes, laughter, and grace.  Seun is a mom and wife of one. She says her side hustle is working with an international bank and her main job of being a homemaker.

S2E5 | Chronicles of an Only Child & The Intersections of other Realities
Is there anything you have waited long for from God and He finally gave you? Has that thing now become a stumbling block in your values or relationship with God? Olaoluwa uses her experiences as an only child and her mother’s journey in waiting for the blessings of her womb to encourage submitting God’s gift back to Him. Even with our diverse family dynamics and backgrounds, God is still in the business of qualifying us and using us for His glory and good.  Song: Ebenezeri by Apex Choir & Kent Edunjobi ft.

Where is your identity? How do we solve comparison? Does the scripture really say anything about comparison? All these and more are addressed in this episode. Separating our identity is not enough, we must also ensure we put it in Christ. This is the true way to work through comparison. This work is not a sprint, its a marathon that takes continuous effort with the help of God.  Song: Back to Life by Zahriya Zachary  Scripture: But as for me, it is good for me to draw near to God; I have made the Lord God my refuge and placed my trust in Him, That I may tell of all Your works (Psalm 73: 28) Everything PGC + LightHouse: https://linktr.ee/LightHouseMinistry (send us comments, suggest topics and give us feedback) Website: https://theimolehouseministry.com Email: theimolehouseministry@gmail.com  Apple Music Playlist: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/lighthouse-playlist/pl.u-r2yBDVqsRzk7990  Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3zW3QkCRIVxwXEvBySe87f?si=5b1be58c448843f0  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.lighthouseministry/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theimolehouseministry Connect with the host, Olaoluwa (Ola), on social media and other platforms at https://linktr.ee/OlaoluwaBakare  PGC is available on every podcast streaming platform.

Episode 20: Mental Health 101 [Season Finale]
Trigger warning: This episode might be triggering for people with some. Kindly feel free to pause, take a break, and return (or not) to stream the episode. Today’s season finale episode answers these questions and plenty of others, “what is mental health? What is trauma? Who needs therapy? Does therapy invalidate my faith or the work of the Holy Spirit?” Olaoluwa shares insights on mental health from her profession as a therapist in Central Oregon, USA. Olaoluwa explained how the increased breakdown in family systems as the basic unit of society can be linked to the increase in family-related trauma. While similar experiences are helpful to create a social bond, it does not always translate to helpfulness, so invalidating a therapist’s clinical skills because they don’t have the same experiences as you is the same as saying a medical doctor is not qualified to treat your medical condition because they don’t experience the same.

Episode 19 | Cancel culture & “This you?”
One thing you will hear from this episode is, “when you hear cancel culture, think jungle justice”, and that's the truth. Cancel culture is becoming a decay in our society and response to social issues that we need to address and shine a light on. While it is important to acknowledge the intention is to deter offensive behavior, the negative impact highly outweighs the positive. Our fight for freedom seems to give us the opposite, especially in our virtual world. Truth be told, we need to be cautious with what we say and how we say it, still, we must learn to still be gracious and correct in love. Even in our advocacy and asking for social justice, we must learn never to stoop to the level of the perpetrator to exert justice.

Episode 17 | Failures, Challenges & Weaknesses

Episode 17 | Failures, Challenges & Weaknesses
If there is ever a hard conversation to have, it’s talking about the moments when we “failed” or didn’t meet an expectation we had for ourselves. In today’s episode, Olaoluwa digs deeper into what can be done when we face failures, challenges, and/or weaknesses. A highlight of this episode is the impact of a community (and positive relationships) in our lives. Although some of us have hurtful memories with friends and family, we must be intentional not to let this deter us from having happy ones. Never forget that the only person who defines time is God; regardless of how we categorize our experiences as early or late. Olaoluwa always uses personal experiences to make the conversation relatable, genuine, and honest, yet impactful. 2 Corinthians 12: 9-10: But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Episode 16 | Negative Feelings

Episode 16 | Negative Feelings
Ever felt you had no control over your feelings such as anger or frustration? Or do you find yourself getting cranky with other people? While acknowledging the impact of triggers, hormones, and just life in general, it is still important we do not leave these feelings to fly as they will or we end up in a spiral and find it hard to get ourselves out of. Psychology Today explains feelings can be diluted by stories we’ve created in our head based on events of the past or fears of the future—not necessarily the truth of the situation. Giving excuses for negative feelings such as anger, frustration, or irritability based on personality, family origin or tribe is what they are, excuses.

Episode 15 | Social Media: Advocacy's New Kid on the Block
Yeah you read right! Social media is the new kid on the block of advocacy. There is no contention about the social ills associated with increased (social) media use. Yet, today’s episode highlights one of its many goods which is as a tool for advocacy, support, and awareness. We do not have to wait for “breaking news” stories before being an advocate, rather, we should start from those around us. Olaoluwa encourages listeners to be an ally both on and offline and be gracious to those who might not be taking action in the same way we are or would. Ally - to support another or others to promote a cause Micro-aggression - intentional or unintentional assumptions, behavior or interaction with marginalized groups PGC is available on every podcast streaming platform.

Episode 13 | Let's Talk Love
What is love? Can I love myself? Am I not supposed to only love people as much as I love myself? These among others are questions Olaoluwa attempts to answer in today’s episode. Conversations on love cannot be completed in one episode but can be started. Truth is, the self does not have the capacity to grasp the full intent of Love. Loving God unseen with mere eyes without loving the people seen is an unbalanced act of service. Olaoluwa shares some interesting life updates and her first-ever spoken word poetry.

Episode 12 | Struggling with Decision Making
Decision-making can be very daunting, even in seemingly minor situations. Living in a society that also glorifies busyness over fruitfulness/productivity makes it easy to slip into engaging in multiple activities and expressing burnout. Learning how to say no, being satisfied with not being involved in everything, and finding peace are some strategies used by Olaoluwa as she tackles her own struggles with making decisions. Striving to overcome concerning habits, behaviors, or even attitudes? Remember to pray it over and be gracious to yourself even when you stumble. PGC is available on every podcast streaming platform.
