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, classrooms, living rooms, even matatus and traffic jams.

Suddenly, the ordinary places in my life became sacred arenas. If my Christianity doesn’t leave footprints in those spaces, it’s not the kind of faith Jesus modeled.

Then came Pastor Sunday Adelaja’s Church Shift—an echo of the same cry. He reminded me that following Jesus isn’t about building comfortable congregations; it’s about discipling cultures and transforming nations. Not in whispers, but with courageous conviction.

And then—there I was. Looking into a mirror I hadn’t dared face before. Yes, I’d been faithful. But far too quiet. That ends now.

I’m re-imagining “church” as a lifestyle of influence. My accounting work, my rental business, my academic pursuit (still pressing for that PhD at Strathmore!), my role as a father and husband, these aren’t just boxes to tick. They are gates, and I’ve been called to stand at them with purpose.

No more separating sacred from secular. It’s all Kingdom.

I’m embracing my role as a gatekeeper, using my education, my voice, my platforms, and yes, even my political convictions to inject light and truth. The current Gen Z protests in Kenya echo a generational awakening. And I can’t afford to be silent. Not now. Not ever.

I will vote differently. Speak boldly. Stand fiercely for my children’s future and the legacy we all share.

But it’s not just about standing up it’s also about stepping in. Stepping into excellence. Into purpose. I want my kids to witness a faith that builds, heals, works hard, and weeps for the least among us.

As I prepare for the Uganda mission, I’m not going as a tourist of ministry, I’m going as a participant in cultural transformation. Not to check religious boxes, but to light paths for others.

Because I believe in the power of one. One person. One calling. One book. One act of courage. That’s how communities shift. How poverty loses its grip. How nations begin to breathe.

So here I am—less obsessed with what happens inside church walls, and more committed to being the church wherever I go.

This is my great work. And I will not come down.

Stay warm this July, and let your light rise.
