So, I came to say that I miss writing here. Now and then I have posted something on my social media accounts, but not as much. I actually never planned to stop writing here. It all began with a very busy school schedule (I was doing my masters), followed up by all pressures that come … Continue reading I hope to be back writing here
Let’s Talk
I KISSED A GIRL
I kissed a girl. And I liked it. The song played way before I thought it possible. This girl though wanted me to. I am a Christian. This feels too right for Leviticus 18. And worse for Romans 1. I mean we can negate the Old Testament for being too old. We are the assembly … Continue reading I KISSED A GIRL
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
I wasn’t quitting on my faith, NO, how could I, Jesus seemed the realest! I was basically saying, “I cannot ignore my feelings of same sex attractions, and I didn’t know how to remain Christian amidst them.” Being home with Christ felt like the only comfort; I became suicidal!
Seen, Known , Loved [Prelude]
A few weeks ago, my friend and founder of this blog, Steve, approached me and asked if I could pen a series of articles on the theme Seen, Known and Loved. It had been upon his heart to do it, and at the same time, I was looking for something to contribute here. He handed … Continue reading Seen, Known , Loved [Prelude]
2018; the year that I almost lost it all #Throwback
Few months to Jan 2018 I had heeded to God’s leading in serving full-time in a Church; a one year internship contract. Having been greatly inspired by reading the story of Charles Spurgeon, I looked forward to a momentous season of ministry. Little did I know what lay ahead. I will not talk about the … Continue reading 2018; the year that I almost lost it all #Throwback

Abomination?
I am in a WhatsApp group chat for the men music ministers in the church community I serve and fellowship in. Aside from the football memes and dad jokes that are shared alongside verses of inspiration, links to Twitter threads on subjects of various interest are also posted. One that was shared recently was a … Continue reading Abomination?
My Story for you
Internet told me that I was gay! I hated gay! Everyone hates gays, even God hated them so much that he burnt a whole city because of them.
I am not gay!
That was my now biggest prayer. God I don’t wanna be gay. I was hopeful. I fasted. Read the word and all my tender mind could think.
And so the struggle continues………..
So, take courage today! Pray that God would grant you strength even as you seek to battle with these desires. Ask that He in His mercy would allow you to see His work in your life.

Being Gay in a Straight man’s world
This is an article I wish I never sat down to draft, not due to its content but more so due to my context. Though I seek to be understood many will end up doing otherwise. In hope, though I will pen my words down, someday maybe, someone will get it. This has come about due to my own personal experience and the many stories I have heard from people who experience an enduring pattern of physical, emotional and sexual attractions towards the same gender. I label that experience Gay
Why call myself Gay and what do I mean?
I need a language to describe my enduring pattern of physical emotional and sexual attractions towards my same sex
The best chat with a PASTOR on LGBT+
Hi Steve, it's always fascinating to see your articles on sexuality issues. I find it relevant to my ministry as a youth pastor. Maybe we can have some discussion on the same.

What did the Pope really say and why did we react the way we did?
In a documentary that was premiered on the 21st of October in Rome, Pope Francis is quoted to have said, “Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God and have a right to a family. Nobody should be thrown out or made miserable over it. What is needed … Continue reading What did the Pope really say and why did we react the way we did?
Is homosexuality a sin? (1st Corinthians 6:9)
It is thus okay to conclude that the terms malakoi and arsenokoitai point to the men who have sex with other men.
Second edition: MY STORY
Sexuality-wise, I am almost exclusively oriented towards my gender
The best Christian response to the gay script
I however wish we all knew how much complex the issue of sexuality is. Probably more complex than we think.
Am I a gay guy who is trying to be a Christian or a Christian who is struggling with being gay?
Just because it’s persistent, it doesn't mean that it's the most important and authentic fact about you,
The Quest for Intimacy- Part 1.
But at the core of it, I believe every human is seeking intimacy, before sex, and that's all I’ve also wanted.

In The Light
Next came the part I dreaded most; having to tell someone I could trust what I had been going through. Who could I trust with such a burden?
In the shadows
Have you ever had a secret so devastating that the very thought of it being let out,rips through the fabric of your existence, your life and tear it into shreds?
Choice or not? Before you ask…
Generally speaking, why would one choose to be gay? Especially in our extreme homophobic society? Who loves himself/herself that little?
