By Olusola Adeyegbe A couple once ended their marriage two weeks after an elaborate wedding. Before the wedding, the wife had built a solid career, earning well and standing on her own. She resigned and relocated to be with her husband, a professional in his own right. Within days of the ceremony, her former employer […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe We chase happiness, joy, and peace as though they were three separate prizes, each requiring its own pursuit. They are not separate prizes. They are three distinct fruits, growing from the very same root. Happiness is a condition of the soul. It is felt within, and it has nothing to do with […]

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.

Today we go deeper still, into a territory that most modern […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe There is a question that has sat quietly at the edge of many conversations for a long time, one that most people feel but few are willing to ask directly. When we look at the practices, knowledge systems, and spiritual expressions of African traditional life and instinctively recoil, labelling them as dark, […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe I came across a video recently that stopped me in my tracks. It raised a question so fundamental that I felt compelled to share it and invite your honest reflection. The story goes like this. A group of kidnappers wrote to a church, threatening to attack. On the appointed day they arrived […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe There is a quiet shift happening in ordinary life that many people feel but struggle to name. Life is not necessarily collapsing, yet it no longer feels light. The effort required to maintain a basic standard of living now feels disproportionately high, both financially and emotionally, and simply getting through a normal […]

By Olusola Adeyegbe Nineteen years ago today, on Friday the 1st of June 2007, I published my very first blog post on a platform I called Spiritual Activism.
