By Olusola Adeyegbe A highly respected friend asked me this question this week, and I suspect many of us are quietly asking it too. It is a fair question, and a timely one. So let us sit with it honestly. Hard times do not eliminate money. They change where it flows. People become more cautious, […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Sometimes what you call a failed plan is simply a different route to a life you could not yet see. We all make plans. We plan our careers, businesses, marriages, finances, families and futures. Yet life has a way of disrupting even our most carefully constructed plans. A business fails. A relationship […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Maybe you are not failing at life. Maybe you are simply tired from carrying too much for too long. We live in a season that confuses exhaustion with failure. The moment we slow down, we panic. We assume something is wrong with our drive, our discipline, our faith. So we reach for […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Few subjects generate as much confused theology as polygamy. Scroll through enough sermons and social media posts and you will find confident claims that the Bible approves of multiple wives, usually backed by the names of Abraham, Jacob, David and Solomon. The argument sounds convincing on the surface. These men were said […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Something is deeply wrong with how most people experience their work. A recent study by Gallup, the globally respected research and polling organisation, found that only 20 percent of workers worldwide actually feel genuinely engaged in and enthusiastic about what they do every day. That means eight out of every ten people […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe This is the fourth reflection in a series that began with the story of an Elder who saved his church and lost his membership, continued with an honest examination of who taught us to call African traditional wisdom darkness, and deepened further into the world of elemental and nature beings and how […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe This reflection is the third in a series that began with the story of an Elder who saved his church using native traditional knowledge, and continued with an honest examination of who taught us to label African traditional wisdom as darkness. Today we go deeper still, into a territory that most modern […]
