Jola Speaks
Jola Speaks is a daily Podcast intended to grow and equip its listeners in their trust walk with God. The current focus is on obtaining clarity as we go through our individual processes with God - drop our own will, answering His calling, trusting Him and submitting to His Will. Why me? Why am I here? Why don’t I feel content with my achievements? What is happening to me? Why does my heart feel so heavy? What is wrong? Yes! we have so many questions, I have been there, I understand what you are going through, and you are not alone. I am by no means an expert and every episode is inspired by the Holy Spirit. Let us all learn together under the leading of the Holy Spirit. The podcast unexpectedly started in December 2022 Please listen to the first podcast titled My Podcast Testimony for the full story. I know you will be enlightened as you listen. Got questions? Please let me know.

The Power of Pause: Why Leaders Must Think Before They React
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever reacted too quickly and regretted it later?
In Nehemiah 5, we see a powerful leadership moment. Nehemiah became angry after hearing about injustice among the people — but instead of reacting immediately, he paused.
That pause protected the project.
That pause preserved unity.
That pause strengthened his leadership.
In this episode of Jola Speaks, we explore:
• Why emotional reactions can destabilise vision
• How leaders must govern their anger
• Why pausing is not weakness, but wisdom
• How to correct without destroying unity
If you’re leading a team, managing people, building a vision, or navigating workplace tension, this episode will help you respond with maturity and spiritual insight.
Based on Nehemiah 5:6–7.
🎧 Listen now and learn how to lead with wisdom in moments of emotion.
