  How I Accidentally Became a Movement-Maker      So, I picked up Steve Addison’s Movements That Changed the World expecting a light read—maybe a few inspirational quotes, and a gentle nudge toward spiritual growth. What I got instead was a full-blown spiritual audit. And as an actual accountant/auditor, I can confirm: this book didn’t just balance my theological books, it rewrote the ledger.      With the precision of a forensic accountant and the fire of a Pentecostal preacher, I identified with the five recurring traits that fuel movements that change the world namely: white-hot faith, commitment to a cause, contagious relationships, rapid mobilization, and adaptive methods .       Basically, if your church group has more spreadsheets than spirit, you might want to rethink your strategy.      What really struck me was how these five traits aren’t just spiritual buzzwords , they’re disciplines that build habit...

  Preaching in the Age of TikTok: Why I’m Retiring My 12-Point Sermons and Embracing the One-Point Gospel   L et’s be honest.

  From Passive to Purposeful: My Wake-Up Call from the Gates.   Hello July — and welcome back to this month’s blog! Thank you for walking this journey with me. To all the newcomers, Karibu sana! I’m honored you’re here. This space is about growth, courage, and faith lived out loud. I’m currently journeying through a one-year leadership program called the Fearless Bootcamp —built on Christian principles and designed to stretch, shape, and sharpen. Every month, I pause to share the truths I’m learning. This is Blog #7 , and today’s reflection cuts deeper. It all began with a quiet nudge, a divine provocation, really. Apostle Moses Mukisa’s Commotion at the Gate challenged my comfort zones. He didn’t just question the passivity in modern Christianity; he disrupted it. Loudly. Boldly. For years, I saw church as a Sunday event, four walls, worship, a sermon, and retreat. But Mukisa’s voice rang clear: Church begins on Monday . Real faith must invade boardrooms, class...
