XYBM Clips: Black man, you’re carrying too much again

If you want to listen to the full episode (XYBM 151) from this clip, search for the title: "Ep. 151: God has NOT ABANDONED you" — it was released on February 23, 2026. In XYBM 151, I open up about a season I recently went through where I genuinely felt abandoned by God — and the uncomfortable truth I had to face about what was actually happening beneath that feeling.

I talk about what it looks like to shift disagreements before they turn into destructive arguments, how betrayal trauma hits men differently when you’ve been cheated on or crossed by someone you trusted, and how to heal without becoming hardened or passing that pain onto the people you love. If you’re in a season of spiritual and mental growth that feels heavy or confusing, this episode will meet you there.
