About The Show

Using The Poet God podcast as a vehicle, poet and spiritual seeker Akil Johnson takes us on a journey of self-reflection and spiritual inquiry, inviting us to question our purpose in life and the value of the sacrifices we've made. Through episodes like “Coming Out As Human”, “Busy Bedrooms”, “Sometimes A Lie”, and “Sexually Speaking”, Akil invites us to explore our upbringings, our relationships, and our understanding of love and faith. Whether we're looking for answers or just trying to make sense of it all. He dives deep into his heart in poems like “Hopes Die”, “Was It Enough?”, and “Location Unknown” to provide an honest and inspiring look into the struggles and rewards of life. With a community of down-to-earth, thoughtful, and often humorous people Akil has assembled called “The Board”, this podcast provides a voice that invites us to confront our doubts and anxieties to find the answers we seek on our own paths to spiritual growth and fulfillment. If you’ve been looking for a community that listens respectfully, explores objectively, creates with integrity, and maintains a safe space for individuality and vulnerability, welcome home!
