Rubby reflects on how academia often isolates knowledge, contrasting this with the holistic learning in pre-colonial Africa, where life, community, and learning were interwoven. She critiques neoliberalism’s fragmented knowledge structure and shares her discovery of “messy utopia” through her professor, George Dei.

This episode explores God’s “upside-down kingdom,” emphasizing true giving, strength in weakness, and redefining success through community rather than individualism. Rubby invites listeners to reimagine a world centered on humanity, grace, and spiritual solidarity.

In this Sweet Medicine episode, hosts Rubby Ben and Princess explore "Sweet Grace" through Hebrews 12, reflecting on God’s love and correction. His grace, sufficient and transformative, disciplines us out of love to deepen our relationship with Him. Unlike our cultural understanding of rehab, spiritual transformation is a journey with Christ, who strengthens and sanctifies us as we surrender. Through Psalm 34:8, Rubby describes God’s grace as a sensory, comforting experience, reminding us of the sacrifice shown in Romans 6:1-2. This grace, purchased at the cross, invites us to extend forgiveness to others.

Sweet Medicine is a segment we created from The Dawn Of Us Podcast, as a space for honesty, vulnerability & growth when it comes to the ways we wield our tongue.

With scripture and the Holy Spirit being our foundation, we hope through these series of conversations, we learn to tame our tongue, and to bring about transformation in a way that is medicine for the soul.

In this vulnerable episode, host Rubby Ben reflects on the struggle with guilt in her journey with Christ. Rubby shares how certain sins cause deep shame, leading to feelings of inadequacy and jealousy of others’ spiritual closeness. She explores the challenge of categorizing sins and the legalism of faith, which intensifies the guilt. However, she reminds listeners of God's grace and mercy through Hebrews 4:16, emphasizing that true intimacy with God requires daily surrender, repentance, and reliance on His strength.
