Hey folks!Happy Easter! I’m once again sharing my musings via a short video. Don’t worry, it won’t become a habit. I’ll find that writing spirit soon for the next Musings installment. But for now, enjoy this oral expression of my thoughts on what lessons we Christians should be taking away in times of COVID19. As […]
Being Intentional in the Journey
Happy New Year folks! Towards the end of the year, I attended a vision board workshop at church with a good friend and Christian sister called Olivia Mukam Wandji. As a project management specialist, Olivia often uses project management language in her speech. As she led us through our vision board construction she compared our […]
Wishing You a Decade of Dependency and Thriving Despite Deficiency
As a teenager, I wasn’t really ‘taught’ how to cook. I moved around a lot. And in every home, I would have tasks like dicing onions and tomatoes, fixing the vegetables, grinding spices up, etc. But no one allowed me near the pot and no one allowed me to do everything from scratch. I knew […]
Is There a Need for Reconciling my Faith and Feminism on the Issue of Virginity?
Recently, the internet was buzzing with news, opinions, and jokes on African-American rapper T.I’s declaration that he regularly takes his daughter for a virginity test. As I followed the conversation, I noted that a lot of those who claimed they “could not get why the father was receiving backlash” supported T.I using Christianity and moral […]
#AboutMyFaith October 2019: A Vlog-post
Not every time writing… sometimes we vlog, eh? As always, I look forward to your thoughts, so drop a comment! Feel free to drag me as you wish, I’m struggling with my presenting skills
Let’s talk ‘Spiritual Fathers/Mothers’
Shortly after my last retreat, I had a conversation with one of my friend’s older sister. Since hearing me talk about mental health struggles she- like many others- seems to have the idea that I am what the bible describes as a ‘baby in faith’. On my part, I don’t deny this. I’ll happily be […]
A Lesson From A Recent Retreat
Today marks exactly two months to my 30th Birthday. I always do a sort of retreat towards my birthday, either the week leading up to or the month or- like last year, retake the 40 day reading/meditation of Rick Warren’s A Purpose Driven Life. This time I want to go into the new decade with […]
The Lies We Christians Let Slip…
I regularly find myself faced with a situation where I have to defend my faith based on the gullibility of some ‘Christians’ like these ones in Kenya who seemingly believed their pastor brought Jesus back to earth just for their church service… This is when unbelievers call us out like… Is this your faith? Are […]
Let’s be real: Being a Christian Is Hard.
Our churches are beginning to sound like the marketing interns who have been commanded to get a certain number of customers each day. Nearly every message preached speaks of Abraham’s blessings, of everlasting life, of healing, of forgiveness…. of the “Good News”. I know, I know, that is the gospel, right? It IS the Good News. And […]
Look Back A Little More
Motivational messages often say we shouldn’t look back on the journey. That we should forget the past and look forward in hope. They generally assume that thinking of past pains is a negative exercise. They’re not altogether wrong, but I have found that the message is not carved in stone and applicable to all situations. […]
