Sometimes life feels like it’s on pause. You send out applications, chase goals, try to stay positive, but nothing seems to move. Everyone else looks like they’re getting ahead while you’re stuck in the same place, wondering if your turn will ever come. It’s tough. But feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It just means you’re in the quiet part of your story — the one that builds strength, patience, and clarity. Here are a few gentle reminders to help you stay motivated when things feel slow. 1. Redefine What “Progress” Means Progress isn’t always visible. Sometimes it looks like learning a new skill, healing from burnout, or simply waking up and trying again. Even when doors aren’t opening yet, the effort you’re putting in now is preparing you for the moment they do. Small steps count. Rest counts. Believing again counts. 2. Focus on What You Can Control When opportunities are limited, it’s easy to feel powerless. But there’s always something within your reach — improving y...

Remote work has become a reality for millions of people around the world. For many, it sounds ideal. You can skip the commute, work in your own space, and enjoy more flexible hours.

Imagine living in a place where simply believing in Jesus might cost you your home, your freedom, or even your life. This is the reality for many Christians in Nigeria today. What’s really happening In parts of northern and central Nigeria, Christian villages and churches have been attacked, families displaced, and entire communities silenced. Groups like Boko Haram and armed herdsmen militias have carried out kidnappings, killings and church burnings.The cost is huge: the loss of life, the loss of security, the loss of trust. Homes get burned. Parents are killed or taken. Children end up in orphanages. Churches are wrecked. And through it all, the Christian faith remains strong—but the suffering is real. Why this matters to us As believers, we’re connected. When one part of the Body of Christ suffers, it affects us all. These brothers and sisters are not just statistics. They are people with hopes, dreams, kids, chores—just like you and me. Their only “crime” often is being visibl...

We live in a world where our screens never stop talking. Every day we scroll through stories, videos, and headlines that tell us what to think, how to act, and even who we should be. Whether we notice it or not, media shapes our ideas about men, women, and everything in between. The way women are shown in movies, music videos, or ads can say a lot. Sometimes it’s empowering, but other times it quietly tells us that women should stay in certain roles. The truth is, what we see often becomes what we believe. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to the messages we share and consume. Changing the Story Media has the power to challenge stereotypes, not just repeat them. When we see stories of women leading, creating, or breaking barriers, it opens our minds to what’s possible. It reminds us that gender equality isn’t just a slogan — it’s a story that’s still being written. Simple choices, like showing men and women working together or highlighting women in leadership, can shift...
