Get to know The Trying Christian

Hi there🤗

Kushe, welcome, bienvenue, kaabo, karibu, akwaaba, nnabata!

Can you guess all the languages correctly?!

Anyway it's okay, this noto school.

Thank you for visiting this site. Please join the online fam by subscribing to the mailing list (leaving your name and email further down the site).

I’m excited and nervous in the best possible way. A while ago God put this idea in my heart; to know me is to know I love writing and I love Jesus so writing about life with Jesus is the best possible thing for me; so, after putting it off out of fear of failure in the guise of ‘being busy with med school’ (LOL), I’ve finally decided to start.

This post is to tell you a little about The Trying Christian.

I’m far from a preacher and even farther from perfect. I’m just a girl whose life God took from the clutches of SIN and self-gratification and made new. You guys saw how I capitalised sin right?! So, if you’re expecting condemnation and judgement, you won’t get them here. However, we go still talk true oh, sin is still sin (1 John 3:6).

I chose the name because it describes where I’m at currently, trying to be the best Christian that I can be, failing and succeeding on different days but trying each day all the same.

God chased after me, when I didn’t feel worth pursuing, he didn’t let me be, and he’s chasing after you too. TTC is about me telling you about what I’ve learnt from my bumpy faith journey and the things I’m still learning.

Most of the guest writers and contributors would similarly be sharing their experiences with you; some will be preaching as they are actual preachers.

Starting this took a lot of courage. The sabotage didn’t come from others, my people were in full support, it came from my own mind. It really is like that sometimes, no? I questioned myself a lot, I still do. Am I good enough to talk to people about Jesus? What authority do I have to tell people to avoid sin? It took a lot of praying and reading God’s word to realise that yes, I am good enough and yes, I do have authority, in fact it’s my responsibility. And yours too!

It is our responsibility to proclaim the word of God and to condemn sin.

I’m positive you’ll find posts relatable and encouraging. We’ll hear opinions about controversial topics in hopes that you too will join in on the conversation. Feel free to leave your ideas and opinions in the comments section and if you’re interested in contributing feel free to send an email.

I pray this website reassures and motivates you to grow further in your faith; to be more intentional and consistent.
