Lately i have been down. i mean, really down. despondent and desperately searching for answers. I don't know if its just me or the first half of the year hasn't exactly panned out the way a lot of us hoped and prayed it would. For those of you who don’t already know, I pastor a church while growing my business full-time. And the truth is… carrying both at the same time can get very lonely. There’s the pressure of keeping the lights on at work.Providing for my family. Showing up strong for the people God has entrusted to me. And some days i have got to be honest with you, it’s just a lot. There are mornings I wake up and anxiety is already waiting for me.Days where I’d honestly rather not step outside… because of the weight of situations I’m dealing with some of which I can’t even share here. I was discussing and encouraging one of my disciples (who i'd genuinely consider a son) on a situation he was dealing with. it was financial and he needed desperate help to sort something time sensitive out. he came over and we got talking and i proceeded to praying for him and encouraging him. Before he left, he said 'Pastor, is this easy for you because you do not have worries or troubles'. I laughed in my heart so loud because just one hour before he walked in, my wife and I were sitting with calculators… trying to figure out how we were going to meet a very real, very pressing need.. I responded to him saying 'its easy for me because i have learned to trust the same God i have taught you to trust' I know there's not a lot of us on this community but i feel safe enough to be real here. Matt 6:33 till date still remains my favourite Scriptures on days when even the future seems bleak and i have got no where else to turn. i remember on days like this that beyond money, ideas and progress, i have the spirit of God inside me. Thats the greatest gift money cant buy. So yes, we all made plans and some of those plans would have to take a back seat for now and others have been greatly set back because of perculiar challanges you may be facing in your job, marriage or finances. all i want to remind you is that we still serve a faithful God irrespecitve of our challenges. i know it sounds elementary and basic but simple messages like this could be the reason why someone wakes up tomorrow choosing to fight harder!

This is a home for believers hungry for truth. Here we grow in the Word, walk with Christ, and learn to live out our faith daily. Introduce yourself below; where are you joining from and lets get krackin

Let me say this in a language we can all understand. i have been hot, cold and warm at various points in my life since i received christ. Sometimes its sheer laziness to pray, other times its just burn out from trying to figure life out. News Flash- even your pastor can grow cold. There is and always will be what sounds to you like a valid excuse to not fan the flame of your faith in christ. The truth is, our faith wasn't handed to us on a platter of comfort. what do i mean? A deeper walk with God will never be based off how much you have saved up or how good things are at work. it will never be based off how well your marriage is or how good you feel. like every other relationship, a deeper and more intimate walk with God will depend on how much you want it and how intentional you are at chasing after it I remember how i felt meeting the love of my life, whom today i am honoured and privileged to be husband to. I remember everything i felt every single day we spoke as we came to know each other. You see the quality of our relationship today isn't but how long we've known each other but how much. it's not about how many dates we PLANNED to go on but how many we actually went on. it's not about how much we wanted to spend time with each other but how much time we actually spent. This love walk will require you to not only make plans with God, but take steps to actually honour them. it's not about wanting to pray more starting January 2026 but actually starting to pray right as you read this post. It's not more about how you want to know him deeper through his word but actually being committed in a local church and taking your discipleship very serious. Its about doing what you plan to do in 3 days time today. YOU! yes you! you're reading this and you know it's for you. you know you gave enough excuses this year already. you know you ditched God and played church just enough to fool your pastor and everyone around you. Your relationship with God will only depreciate because you'll learn to be a professional christian. Pray now, study now! commit to a local church this Sunday.

Hi Faith & Life Community, Some of you, if not all, already know me and know how passionate I am about practical ways to navigate life while walking in faith. The truth is, I know what God wants to do here, but I’m not entirely sure of the how yet. I’m just like you figuring life out one day at a time, learning to follow and love Christ. Here, I’ll be sharing, teaching, and pouring out my heart, trusting that God will do among us what He truly desires. Let’s step into 2026 together! Thank you all for your support and don’t forget to invite someone else to join the journey. Love you all, Your skool teecha, Gospel😁
