Being a young christian (part 10 - Reboot)

Being a young christian is hard, there are a lot of challenges from the way one lives, conducts themselves and from the company we keep but being a pk is even harder everyone is watching you. Everyone expects perfection from you even when you make a mistake you are reminded of your title and position in society. I must have been one of the few that got to be a pk silently without a lot of attention brought to me (not anymore).

I'm grateful for my parents, I'm grateful that I got to learn what I learnt from them, I'm grateful that even though they weren't fully there in my life but the little time we spent together was very special to me. I think moving forward I'm not going to be part of the ministry that much (unless God forces my hand) I personally think my purpose isn't in ministry. I think outside ministry somewhere in society (being a social entrepreneur) is my calling, my purpose and my talents lie somewhere there. The time I spent in ministry has been very insightful and I'm honestly praying to continue touching lives, bringing not only hope but encouragement to someone whose feeling out of place.
Just like I said in my previous post your friends either bring you closer to God or they pull you away. When I met Yuri I didn't think we would be so close to a point where when one struggles spiritually the other is there to help the other so there is a balance of some sort. I figured I can't write about everything, I can't write about Yuri's journey as a young christian I think he can better talk about. I've invited him to share his experience and his journey of being a young christian and his agreed. I felt what I shared was in the female version and because Yuri is a guy he'll be able to share the male version. The video of him sharing his testimony will be on my facebook page @abigailradebe so do look out for it. As we wrap this series I think it's only fair to wrap it in style as we share testimonials of our journey as young christians.

We live in a time and age where most young people in relationships are comfortable in posting thirst traps, matter of fact most young people in relationships post thirst traps like it’s a norm. Have you ever heard of the term "thirst trap"? It's a slang word that refers to a provocative or seductive photo or video posted on social media, usually with the intention of attracting attention or compliments from others.

Women Taking Up Space; Part 1 - Corporate Queen

Image
  What a time to be alive, from being under house arrest “lockdown” to living in the midst of a pandemic. The country has taken an unusual turn. However, that hasn’t stopped women from chasing their dreams and achieving their goals. We constantly define a woman as a strong person, someone who is fearless, a go-getter, ambitious and driven. Well met Lindokuhle Yolanda Dube the CEO of a company called Msebenzi Wethu Services that deals and focus on laundry, gardening and your daily services that you may require as a person. Naturally being a female in South Africa is tough, we are constantly fighting battles that we ourselves didn’t even ask for, we faced with battles that are beyond us, battles that force us to be strong even in the midst of a deadly pandemic; Covid- 19. It takes a grounded, steady and focus woman to take up space, even in a society that is male dominated. Words like “a woman’s place is in the kitchen” “your duty is to raise the kids an...

I The African Child Part 2; Mogote Wa Poko

Image
With every "Tsala Dumela" to every "Gompieno" you know for sure that you are about to be encouraged with some setswana poetry. The art of words, creativity and a passion for healing people with words has become one of the things most young people seek when they hop on to social media and good bet because we actually have those young people who are doing exactly that. Mogote Wa Poko the well known setswana poet is here to take the world by storm with his traditional poetry that is making waves all over South Africa. Most young people would think as a poet the best language to use is English as it is a universal langauge, one of the most understood and maybe because our African languages aren't really ideal especially if one's craft is going to be their career as well. Mogote took the country by storm as he started performing his work of art by using his home language, he moved from being a community poet to being the most recognized...
