Beware those who oppose Akonia! The amazing @Serinah__ has helped me bring my persona to life to protect the kingdom! I will be bragging about how good a job she did for a long time cause she's so pretty!!!
Final moments of our last days of filming in London. You’re not going to want to miss the upcoming episodes of @ApologeticsCA I Trust the Bible? series. I can’t stress how this trip has expanded my experiential knowledge of the history of the English Bible and its impact. From looking at the lives of Bede, Wycliffe, and Tyndale — the sacrifices these men endured in order to get the Word into the hands of regular people — to abolitionists John Newton and William Wilberforce, reading scripture and the Bible in the vernacular being the catalyst that motivated them to fight against slavery.
Can you honestly ask yourself:
"Do I have real friends who:
want to see me succeed, who want to pray for me and not just say that they will, who will support and be there for me, who will tell me hard truths sometimes because they want to see me grow spiritually/mentally, who would carry me and lower me down from a roof top just to get prayer and healing?"
If not, then you might want to reevaluate who your real friends are.
Jesus tells us to be gentle as doves and wise as serpents--can mocking be wise? can zeal be gentle? Be shrewd in how you speak truth. Let them come first. Encourage their curiosity--don't kill their spirit with judgement before they even know Him.

I think if your morals, values and biblical beliefs are not aligned, that your marriage is going to be a constant battle.
One that could end badly.
My mom was Southern Baptist and married my dad who was "Catholic".
Growing up, my parents marriage was rough in a lot of ways.
My mom was the spiritual head of our household for most of my life, as my dad grew up "Catholic" but was never a practicing Catholic.
And so the spiritual dynamic growing up was skewed, but that's also all I knew, until I started going to youth group in HS.
That's where it was made apparent that my upbringing wasn't exactly traditional, as far as spiritual roles were concerned.
My dad only really surrendered control over his life, and both my parents surrendered their dysfunction to Jesus to the betterment of their marriage, about two years ago.
And now my dad is like a completely different man of God, and my parents marriage is stronger than ever.
They even are more in love now than when they 1st got married (their words, not mine).
So with all of that said, I would strongly suggest dating/marrying someone who you're not having a power struggle/structure problem with.
Date/Marry someone who you can be evenly yoked to.
Will not be streaming til after June 22nd! On a trip working on the day in the life of Serinah! And I will be extending my collab with @Bean_Customs til end of June because I haven’t had time to properly promote it! So imma try my best

Check On Your Male Friends.
Its been a couple days now since my Men's Mental Health Stream. So I have a few thoughts about the experience.
My stream was a day dedicated where I read out my male communities stories of hardships.
There were so many stories. I think I cried for every single one tbh...
What a lot of women dont understand is Evil isnt designated to one gender.
I thought I knew what Evil lurks in the world, but hearing their stories...it fueled me even more to protect men as much as I can.
The stream was heart breaking, but also the most beautiful experience I have ever had.
I always knew I had a beautiful community, but I was inspired by the strength these men had.
It is so difficult for men to open up and talk about their hardships. Men will laugh and try to dust it off and act like it doesn't hurt.
But that day everyone showed vulnerability and we all supported and uplifted one another.
No one laughed. No one mocked. No one be littled one another.
It was pure, wholesome, and healing.
That night after stream I cried for hours. I wished I could take their pain away and I wished I could protect them from ever being hurt again.
My friends really had to help me get through that night. Im so grateful for them.
But the most inspiring thing was seeing how many people turned to God for healing.
I saw so many testimonies that night and it was heart breakingly beautiful.
I wish none of my Shroomies ever were hurt, but what I love so much is that even with all the pains of the world.
With so many people saying they hate men, my shroomies. My community they decided to still be kind and caring souls. Rather then running to hatred they ran towards sharing love.
My dearest community.
Thank you for sharing your stories with me.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for being vulnerable with me.
Thank you for all the love you give me.
I am hear by adopting all of my male shroomies as my brothers older or younger I care not. And to my female audience all 8% of you yall are my sisters.
As your Sister Vtuber I will defend you and do my best to make you guys proud.
I never want you guys to ever have a bad day again.
So when you're feeling sad or having a bad day come to me. My main goal as a content creator is to make your DAE!!!
I love you all so much and I wish I could hug you all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
tw: suicide
I want to talk about men's mental health month. And before anyone says anything, I know June is a month for a lot more as well. We can celebrate all these things at the same time. They dont cancel each other out. This specific post is just about men's mental health. 💙
In just the past 2 months, I've seen and heard about 3 men's suicide. One was a childhood friend, another a friends brother, and another someone who I'm sure people in the VTubing world also heard about. And this is only in the past 2 months and only the ones I know about. There could be so many others who suffer in silence, pressured to always be strong until they can't anymore.
I know there's bad men out there who hurt people. But what about the ones who are genuinely good and also were hurt? They deserve to be shown kindness and gentleness as well. The change in the world we want to see, it starts with us.
To the men who might feel invisible or struggling, I'd like to say that it's okay and safe to be soft and gentle. It doesn't make you weak. It's okay to have emotions, to not be okay, to not always have it all together. You do matter. People will be sad when you leave. People who might have only talked to you for a single moment, they will care. I promise. You don't have to join the 27 club. You can go beyond it. You will be okay, even if it doesn't feel like it right now.
Lead with kindness. You never know who's battling with what. ❤️🩹
I know this is pretty widespread, but in case you didn’t know, don’t friend a Vtuber by the name of sindictae/Ghodoor/Ghoulee/Gladictae
He is a notorious sexpest/ woman harasser and is extremely mentally unwell. Keep your distance and block in advance.

Is it a hot take to say that if your theology is challenged by John 3:16 then you may need to pray over your beliefs?
For God (one God)
So loved (not hated)
The world (not just one group)
That He (God is masculine)
Gave (not taken from Him)
His only Begotten (no others)
Son (also masculine)
That all (not just one group)
Who believe in Him (based on faith)
Shall not perish (meaning all without faith will perish)
But have eternal life (all with faith have confidence in eternal life)
Biblical marriage was never meant to just make you happy - it’s meant to make you holy
It’s learning sacrifice
Dying to self
Offering grace
Serving when it’s inconvenient
Staying when life feels heavy
The beautiful parts are a gift
But the sanctification is too
