The Kamga Tchassa PodcastHow I Decided to Follow Jesus | My Journey of Faith, Family, and Finance | Part 1: FaithWelcome to the first video in my new series, in which I delve into the three pillars that shape my life ( and will now shape my content online): Faith, Family, and Finance.
In this video, I share my faith journey, from my early religious upbringing to a deeper, more meaningful relationship with God.
I've recorded hundreds of videos, but every time I press the record button, it feels like the first time. This series is different because it comes from a place of authenticity and spontaneity. If you stay until the end, I promise you'll find something relevant and...2024-05-2740 minThe Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp. 14 - 17 Things I Know To be True Now as a 34-year-oldI'm super excited about this particular episode, and I pray you take ONE thing you can use to grow in Christ.2024-02-171h 07The Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 13 - She Would Have Been 27 TodayNot much to say, tbh.2023-07-0922 minThe Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp. 12 Starting YouTube, Relationships, and "Vulnerability for Content" ft. Mutombo in Progress
From "The Sassy Experience" to "Mutombo Daily" and now "Mutombo in Progress," my friend's journey has been an intentional evolution to express what God had already put in her heart.
We talked so much that we would do another later ( date undecided). But here's what you can expect from this one:
- How Mutombo started her YouTube journey- The evolution of her editing tools and styles- Her tips for filming in public in Cameroon
- How she continues to evolve in her passion for creativity

2023-06-251h 02The Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 10 - Are you a reliable friend? What do you do when a friend needs your help?There's this trend where people of different ages say they have no friends. I have said in my videos that I have very few friends too. In a previous episode, Leslie mentioned why being a friend that can be counted upon was important.
This "short" episode addresses this a little more. In addition, I have an announcement for the podcast.
2023-06-2414 minThe Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp. 9: How do you know you're a good friend (or if you have one?) ft. Leslie Makendi
"He's my friend," "She's my friend," "We're not friends like that," "He thinks we're friends, but I don't know" "How could a friend say that to me?"
The term is very common. I feel it's loosely used, especially when Facebook tells you you have thousands of them.
What does it mean to be a friend? How do you know you have one? How do you know if you are one?
Les and I would discuss this, pulling much from Proverbs 18 and our personal experiences.

Whether it's a project or your walk of faith, there comes a point when you question what you know and your identity now.
When the euphoria is diminished, and the trials show up, you start to wonder if you are genuinely this new creature you thought you were.
Doubt starts to muddy your clear waters, and you feel uneasy as you think of the future - what this means about you and everything you've believed until now.
"Am I ready for this?" "Is this really what I was meant to be doing?"
This is the feeling I've had for...2023-06-0440 minThe Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 7: What happens to your friends when you choose to change your life? ft. Sone TrevorTrevor and I clicked the moment we met in 2012. At least, that's how I remember it. He was a cool dude, who played video games, watched anime, and was a graphic design whiz.
After we graduated journalism school, he left from skinny cool dude to buff cool dude - spending more time at the gym than at the screen.
A few years ( or was it months?), I noticed Trevor sharing scripture on his Whatsapp status and sounding like one of those "Christian" people.
Little did I know his walk of faith planted seeds in me that eventually wound up...2023-06-041h 07The Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 6: Walking in the Flesh vs walking in the SpiritToday's conversation covers thoughts and realizations from some parts of scripture.

When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me." 1 Corinthians 13:11 NIV
At what point do you become an adult? Who decides when you are? Is this a choice you make by your actions/behavior? Or are there societal milestones you must accomplish to claim this label?

Mafor has dealt with loss from a young age. We've been friends for many years, and when I lost my sister last year, she was one of the few people I knew who would understand what it felt like.
We've discussed loss, grief, depression, and many other things. She's a writer who has poured her heart into the page and uses her gift with words to continue to forge a career and build community.
This would probably be a heavy one.2023-05-2059 minThe Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 3: Seeking The Lord ft. Futi Ntehnda
Futi and I had a private chat after yesterday's live stream, and I felt we needed a more extended conversation.

2023-05-141h 00The Kamga Tchassa PodcastEp 2: How To Pray - An Introduction (ft Sammy J Speaks)A conversation with Sammy about Genesis led us here. I brought up the servant who was sent to find Isaac a wife. Sammy shared about the importance of specificity in prayer, how the people in the Bible tended to know what to pray for, and how to know God had answered.
Listen to our conversation as we explore this further.
We are both at different levels of our Christian journey. Anything you believe is dumb is our fault. Anything you believe is true is from God.

The Kamga Tchassa Podcast#9 Elena Tucker- From Belarus to Colorado, with LoveElena Tucker and I became friends through Medium. I found an article she'd written about her city--Aurora, CO-- which also happens to be...MY CITY ( at the time anyway). A few clicks away, and on a beautiful Thursday afternoon ( or was it Tuesday?) we had the first of many coffees.
She has the most hilarious stories steeped in her devotion to her family and spiritual journey. The first time we met, although we couldn't look or sound anymore different than we already are, it was amazing to find out that we had shared feelings about America, immigration, family, careers and...2019-06-251h 08
The Kamga Tchassa Podcast#8 Brenda Herrera Moreno - In.Visible Paradigms and the Work of Anti-OppressionBrenda Herrera Moreno is an amazing person. This was our longest conversation and the first we've had without our mutual friends. I had such a great time listening to her story and her take on the world she's building.
Favorite quotes from the conversation:
"It's a very risky narrative when we think about refugee resettlement only as assimilation or only upward mobility""The work of anti-oppression is always to come back to community"
Here's her professional bio:
At a young age, Brenda moved from Mexico to India with her family. She and her parents relocated to South Carolina when Brenda...2019-06-181h 25

The Kamga Tchassa Podcast#6 Danny Mazur on Pain, Community, Creativity, & How to Find Your ThingDaniel "Danny" Mazur considers himself a born-again creative. This episode of the podcast takes us on an emotional journey from the time he became an accidental poet, his year of mania, and the first iteration of what we see today as Soul Stories ( https://www.soulstoriesdenver.com/).
In his own words:
"My name is Danny Mazur and I hail from the great state of O-HI-O. In 2013 I moved to Denver to start working in under resourced schools. Shortly after, my mom overdosed (and survived) and my close friend started to suffer from a severe mental health disease. This challenging period of...2019-06-101h 11
The Kamga Tchassa PodcastChoosing Your Authentic Self, Falling in Love, Dealing with Mental Health (The Soul Stories Podcast)I was blessed to spend a great time with my friend Danny Mazur on his podcast-- The Soul Stories Podcast. I helped record and produce the first season and got to meet with amazing humans and hear really powerful stories.
Danny and I met through the monthly Open Mic event organized by Stain'd Arts (https://www.staindmagazine.com/). The Liminal Event in which I read my story was a collaboration between Staind and Soul Stories.
My wife was a guest on the show, which was, as you can imagine, quite an experience for me. If you listen to both our...2019-06-071h 25
The Kamga Tchassa PodcastHow My Love For Writing Survived My Biggest Teenage "Mistake"I lost the first part of this specific episode and had to re-record while recovering from my the flu. You can hear me reaching out for breath. However, I am glad I was able to surmount the disappointment of mistakenly deleting the previous file - you can still hear it in my voice at the start though.

The Kamga Tchassa PodcastRelationships That Have Defined My IdentityAlthough this episode was recorded months ago, what I said in it still rings true to me in many ways: my love for family, the work I've had to do to get better at communicating, as well as the boundaries I have learned and the mentors who have led me.
I considered myself an introvert who didn't need people as much and that really made me see myself differently. I might even go as far as to say that nearly every bad decision I made that impeded the relationships in my life were as a result of how I saw...2019-05-1737 min

And even when I did, I let it sit in my computer for all this while, gathering digital dust. I feel the time has come for me to let the world know what I can do and to judge me for it.

The Kamga Tchassa PodcastEpisode 2- What does "friendship" mean to you?My heartfelt gratitude to all who listened to the first episode. It was an almost unanimous observation that the pilot was way too long and that I may need to structure my thoughts for the subsequent episodes.
In light of that, I have bad news for you.
Well, good and bad news.
First, the bad news. This episode is not particularly structured. There is a central theme, and I experimented with a guest in the second part of the show. The role of friendship did not pop up as I had intended, but I still think you’re going to en...2016-06-0900 min

Coming to UB, making the decision to study Science instead of Arts and not being responsible for my choices.
I want to paint a big picture and the foundation for the next episodes which would be me talking about the things I am passionate about ( Entrepreneurship, Business, Family, Relationships, Writing) and the business I am trying to build.
My hope is that you will learn a thing or two from my mistakes and...2016-06-0500 min
