You are not just dealing with people. You are one of them.

The same biases you observe in others exist in you.

The same emotional triggers you struggle with in others exist in you.

The same contradictions that frustrate you in others exist in you.

This is not a book you read at a distance. It is one that, if engaged honestly, will read you back.

If faith remains private, it remains small. If it is taken seriously, it builds. Christianity has never been ONLY about what you believe. It is also about what your belief produces in the real world.

People are the best thing that will ever happen to you. People are also the worst.

Your greatest opportunities will come through people, and so will your deepest frustrations.

Careers are accelerated by people and derailed by them.

Dreams are funded, delayed, or destroyed by people.

Even your sense of self, how you see yourself, what you believe you deserve, how far you think you can go, has been shaped, in no small part, by your interactions with people.

Should Faith Retreat from the Marketplace?

I spent the weekend listening to Nevers Mumba deliver sermons at ICGC Christ Temple in Accra. As I listened, I was reminded of an uncomfortable reality: people are often happy for faith to shape the church, but become uneasy when that same faith enters the marketplace, the boardroom, or the political arena.

Mumba occupies a unique space. He is both a respected church leader and a significant political figure in Zambia. Judging from the comments beneath many of his social media posts, a considerable number of people still believe he should abandon politics and devote himself exclusively to 'ministry.' It raises an important question: Who decided that God only calls people to pulpits?

The Bible presents a different picture. Joseph governed Egypt. Daniel shaped public policy in Babylon. Esther influenced a kingdom. Nehemiah rebuilt a nation. Their ministries were exercised not from sanctuaries but from positions of leadership and influence.

Politics, like business, education, media, law, and technology, is part of the marketplace. These spaces desperately need men and women whose convictions are anchored in God. The answer to corruption in public life is not the withdrawal of righteous people but their courageous participation.

Of course, holding public office exposes a leader to criticism, compromise, and impossible expectations. The challenge is not whether Christians should enter the marketplace, but whether they can remain faithful while they are there.

Perhaps the real issue is that we have defined ministry too narrowly. Ministry is not confined to preaching sermons. It is the stewardship of God's purpose wherever He assigns us.

As I prepare for the December release of my book Faith and Ministry in the Marketplace, I become increasingly convinced that the Church must stop asking whether believers belong in the marketplace and start asking how we can equip them to thrive there without losing their witness.

My hope is simple. We will never again see our work the same way. We will stop waiting for a call into ministry and start responding to the one we are already in. And wherever we find ourselves, whether in a boardroom, a classroom, a shop floor, or an office, we will walk in with a quiet confidence.

We do not train people to take notes. We train people to think differently.

Every session I walk into, I bring one conviction: that the most powerful learning happens not when someone writes down what you said, but when they discover something true about themselves and their work in the middle of a conversation, an activity, or a challenge they did not see coming.

Real sessions. Real rooms. Real moments where something shifted.

Insightful. Interactive. Activity-driven. Practical.
This is how we train.
