Totally agree with leaving people’s messages on read but not responding. It gives “I don’t have time for you” which is hurtful especially to people you consider dear to you. It’s different if you have not seen the message but it’s rude to just ignore someone’s text, busy or not. Even a short text saying “cannot talk now but will get back to you soon” is better than being ignored.
Joyce!!! And Mariam! Hands down another amazing episode! As baby Christian who’s now trying to be mindful of the type of content I consume on a daily basis, I’m so grateful that this was such a tasteful and vulnerable episode filled with so much laughter and great energy! And loving Mariam on this new journey of her life as she begins to get closer to the Lord, she just radiates with this amazing peaceful, loving aura as per usual but you can definitely see the transformation and it’s so beautiful to see🤍🤍
I related sooooooo much to Miriam's friendship breakup story and that being what led her to get closer to God. Like word for word, bar for bar happened to me!!! I wish her all the best. It gets better and it gets easier!!! And your discernment of people gets stronger!
The Tangents are so important we love it..... and I have fallen in love with Maz more ....I am so happy about your Christainity journey. I pray we all finish well❤❤❤❤
I’ve been watching your shows for the past week. You are so amazing. I love how you share your relationship with God. Those segments really hit home because I’m currently trying to know God for myself 🥲. This is your calling! I will be here watching you FLOURISH 💕
Wow Joyce PHEW. I relate to you much it’s shocking. Me to a T when it comes to friendships. Loyal to a fault but I’ve learned to adjust the energy for those who are deserving of it.
This was such a surprisingly healing episode. Friendship break-ups aren’t discussed that much. You gals showed such beautiful vulnerability discussing your experiences and it’s so inspiring to see how you have elevated and have genuine sisterhood. Thank you for calling out toxicity women friendships, its powerful in changing what is considered acceptable.
One thing Mariam has to understand, sex is not created solely for reproduction, it’s created for two people in union to thoroughly enjoy. However they like, as long as it’s between them two.
on the topic of sex and God. I feel like christians forget that sex was God's idea! we're so tied up in performatively being morally upstanding. Your love and union has been blessed by God he has given and created the safe space for your guys to be intimate and manifest that love through the act of creation or sex if you like. God want's your pleasure, God wants your desires fulfilled and the freedom to do these things in God's love comes from sanctifying the relationship through Gods word. Standing before him and saying we are one. At that phase to me anything we do in our initmate moments is God centred! He is always there even when you laid on your back sisters! God doesn't know shame, humans do and I think that keeps us trapped in these ways of thinking. I promise you all God wants your pleasure, he just wants it in his glory! that is it.
I think I was that friend that wanted to be replied immediately, like always. But when I saw people actually ignored you till they were ready to reply, I just joined the crowd, I’m sorry, Like I have things to do too. And I stopped being the first to reach out🤷🏽♀️
this was sooooo refreshing! Thank you Mariam for having the courage to still speak about God even though you consider yourself a baby Christian, in this upside down culture and I wish you so much peace in your salvation journey ♥
From what I've learned about biblical sex, the guardrails is that its not something that defiles your spouse, that they don't want to do and is unnatural. Pastor Kingsley and Mildred have a channel that's about biblical sexuality and they answer questions there. God created sex and the pleasure that people have to bring children and to also help couples be more intimate so he definitely wants enjoyment in it (in marriage)
@maamesbooks I think that’s where the whole dignity of your spouse has to be taken into account, like if your sexual acts are defiling someone and about your partner being an object of some fantasy that’s demeaning, that’s a no.
One of the biggest challenges i face is to be a girls girl. This topic of conversation on the demented mindset that most women have against other women validates everything i have been saying for the last 10+ years. 😅
1hr05 Sex is meant to be enjoyed not just for reproduction. If you are around Christians enough,you would know there also want to enjoy sex... Virgins do know whether sex is good or not cus even as a virgin,you know when something is good or not..libido whether high or not does not care about Virginity..You can marry as a virgin and still feel extremely sexually unsatisfied etc However, I agree if u can wait wait and even if u decide try it when you are much older
Yes it would be good to have your Pastor on. It just gives an interesting and different dynamic. I Love your shows Joyce, my daughter got me onto you 😂😂😂😂
The strict parent's raising liars is too true. I have strict parents and boy the way you gotta lie to get your freedom isn't funny. It took friends calling me out to understand that i couldn't go into adulthood as a pathological liar. Thank god i was g checked early like in secondary school so, it was something i could begin unlearning. It's something i'm still working on till this day but, for the love of god strict parenting to the point where it's suffocating and restricting your kids needs to stop!
"This is cocktails and takeaways. This is not mountain of fire ministries." 😂😂😂😂😂😭😭
Lmaoooooooooooo
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Finished me😂😂😂😂😂
MJ you're definitely a comedian 😂😂😂 it's how you used davidos Song to describe her breast for me💔😂😂
Mountain on fire 😅
we actually need Joyce's pastor for a CT sitdown
Yesssss it would be so lit
Agreed
Yes bring him on
Joyce this all brown look is giving 😍😍😍
I love the tangents, it’s a more natural flow of the convo. I actually dislike when you cut the convo to get back on track sometimes lol
Same here
Same
As a Christian woman I have to say this is the best episode yet 😂😂😂😂
Literally! I loved it!
Loving the vulnerability of Mariam
Well done Maz on your journey to Christianity ✝️ love this ❤️
Love you sis 😭❤️❤️
You’re just so sweet girl i wanna be your friend so bad😭
I’m loving this journey you’re on with God! It’s really helping me on mine🫶🏽❤️🥰
@@yolishi7090 beg
You can see Mariam asking God to answer the questions / for guidance before she says anything and I love it

"me that’s shaking my bum where will I go" I’m crying real tears 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭
Same gurl 😭
Mariam is amazing 🤍 Genuinely such a sweetheart & I pray the years ahead of her a full of blessings 🙏🏾
I related sooooooo much to Miriam's friendship breakup story and that being what led her to get closer to God. Like word for word, bar for bar happened to me!!! I wish her all the best. It gets better and it gets easier!!! And your discernment of people gets stronger!
Me too! I was sitting here like is she reading my life like a book
I just love Mariam, she is such a sweet soul, bless her ❤
I love tangents, it encourages the convo to flow naturally, plus the best parts are derived from them.
The Tangents are so important we love it..... and I have fallen in love with Maz more ....I am so happy about your Christainity journey. I pray we all finish well❤❤❤❤
Woww the accountability piece was SUCH a good conversation I definitely needed to hear that 🙌🏽
Im crying Joyce is so cheeky for making Mariam think she was right
Yes to TANGENTS!!! That’s how real conversations happen! Real convos don’t stick to the topic
Love the tangents, makes the conversation more organic
Glad you’re realising this now Miriam .Im a big auntie who still struggles with reacting to situations
This is going into my top 5 favourite episodes of Cocktails and Takeaways.
I’ve been watching your shows for the past week. You are so amazing. I love how you share your relationship with God. Those segments really hit home because I’m currently trying to know God for myself 🥲. This is your calling! I will be here watching you FLOURISH 💕
I like the tangents. That’s the best convo because ppl open up n share personal experiences!!!
Wow Joyce PHEW. I relate to you much it’s shocking. Me to a T when it comes to friendships. Loyal to a fault but I’ve learned to adjust the energy for those who are deserving of it.
Honestly you make my day every time you post❣️

Particularly loved this episode, big up to you and Mariam
I really felt this episode and it made me laugh & reflect on my life & God at the same time ❤
One thing Mariam has to understand, sex is not created solely for reproduction, it’s created for two people in union to thoroughly enjoy. However they like, as long as it’s between them two.
Word
That part had me 🤔 cause there's a whole book in the Bible that celebrates sexual longing 😂 procreation is important but God created pleasure too.
Exactly! However, I agree with her on the no Anal thing. As sodomy is mentioned in the bible as being a bad thing
Exactly. The other thing is the misunderstanding on anal/sodomy. A lot of Christian culture has mischaracterized the story of sodom & gomorrah.
we love the tangents. as long ad you come back- we goodie
Joyce please bring your pastor on C&T please 🙏🏾

I wanna know who created the animated intro , it’s so cool ❤
Tangets are good MJ.. don't want to miss out on ish like "we jus ordinary peopled"😩😂😂😂❤
"It's a pride thing" I'm right there with you. Seriously having to work on asking for help
Joyces explanation of friendships 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
OGs already knew Mariam’s holiday story with the unhinged add on friend 😂😂 and adeola & nella
This was a great episode ❤ I love the tangents during Win or Bin
I really love madame joyce and her episodes. I just thought I'd binge and get into her properly because she is unmatched honestly 💅🏽✨️
I loveee the tangents it makes the convo go so smoothly
Joyce is honestly such a joyyy to watch. I love this podcast 🥳
I’m with Musa…I interpreted the mum the same way she did😂
i love healthy friendships and if i spot one bad person i’m outttttt i no dey waste time
This is such a good show. I don’t usually give shows a like but this definitely gets a like! I’m a fan!
Joyce we love the tangents!!
I think I was that friend that wanted to be replied immediately, like always. But when I saw people actually ignored you till they were ready to reply, I just joined the crowd, I’m sorry, Like I have things to do too. And I stopped being the first to reach out🤷🏽♀️
Please bring your pastor oo
i know having a conversation with Mariam is such an experience i hope to experience that one day❤
Loving the Christian content ❤
Deffo about Nella. She seems toxic and has a victim mentality. You deserve the world Maz, pure soul xx
What happened with her and nella?
They don’t follow each other as well
We all saw a Nella’s behaviour on ima celeb….zero self awareness
this was sooooo refreshing! Thank you Mariam for having the courage to still speak about God even though you consider yourself a baby Christian, in this upside down culture and I wish you so much peace in your salvation journey ♥
Not the fluffy handcuffs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Out here looking for “holy pink fluffy cuffs” 😂Another amazing episode with a Badt Girlie 👏👏👏
Loved this episode! Mariam is so funny talking about fluffy handcuffs being okay and not titanium 😭😂

@maamesbooksBDSM doesn’t come from God I honestly think it stems from trauma or porn which both of those things aren’t of love or goodness.
“He’s sitting there single watching the fresh and fit podcast” 🤣🤣
Wow this oneeeeee is the one loved every second of this episode
In are you smart when Mariam said 40 states and she said the Holy Spirit helped her - I had to pause to laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We love Mariam❤❤❤
I just love a black woman in a constellation of browns! Gorgeous. Great convo!
We need the pastor…. Sooon!
the fluffy hand cuffs floored me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the biggest challenges i face is to be a girls girl. This topic of conversation on the demented mindset that most women have against other women validates everything i have been saying for the last 10+ years. 😅
I love the tangents!
Love the tangents.. i feel like it makes the show 😅
I love the new animated intro’s
