We all love music — but where exactly is the line?

Can a song with positive meaning still carry spiritual weight we overlook?

Is it enough to love the message… while ignoring the messenger?

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel takes the conversation deeper — striking the balance between discernment and delight, content and container, meaning and source.

Must every song carry the “gospel” label to be safe?

And are we overreacting... or under-discerning?

This isn’t a condemnation session — it’s an honest search for clarity.

🎧 Tap in and let’s find the middle together.

Let’s be honest… this debate has been circling forever.

Can a Christian vibe to secular music and still love Jesus?

Is it harmless? Is it compromise? Or is it… complicated?

In this episode of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel tackles the tension — the blurred lines, the heart checks, and the real questions no one wants to admit they’re wrestling with.

Because truthfully?

The enemy doesn’t always need a gun to your head to change you.

Sometimes, all he needs… is the wrong thing in your ear.

So — can Christians listen to secular music? Let’s talk about it.

We’re back.

And we’re not here to play soft.

In this Season 3 opener of Conversations at Lunch, Emmanuel Adekeye sets the tone with a raw, honest callout — for himself, and for everyone else making mental detours around responsibility.

We blame our past.

We blame the system.

We blame other people.

We even blame ourselves — just to avoid showing up and doing the work.

But at some point, the excuses have to stop.

It’s time to quit playing mental gymnastics and face your life head-on.

No fluff. No pity party. Just truth.

🎧 Tap in.

Let’s have the conversation.
