A Special Gratitude Salt Talks dedicated to my uncle and aunty, our one and only Commandant and Mamandant; Pastor and MummyPastor; Brigadier-General (rtd.) Jonah Adebamgbe and Mrs. Grace Busola Adefolalu

Today, Salt Talks about March, a month in her life that brings so much joy. And much sadness. How do we handle these seemingly seesaw moments of sadness and joy?

This episode of Salt Talk focusses on this amazing and deeply challenging (in a good way) book by Mrs Margaret O Oko. It’s almost like reading the Acts of the Apostles but the exploits take place in Nigeria and Poland. At the end of the day, we really have to face it: The walk of faith is not a #softlife. At least not the way the world defines it. God’s maths is not intellectual maths. When we have nothing, we still lack nothing. Because we have Christ. And everything minus Christ equals zero. Selah💛
