Today's interview is one of great substance that comes from the gorgeous Rebekah Nwokonkor who, like many of us, wears many hats. She is a wife and mother to five beautiful children- all whilst juggling being apart of her church's praise and worship team, undertaking a Leadership Mentoring course and setting up her online business: "Konkorcreations.com," which is coming soon. In Rebekah's own words, this website will specialise in:

An Interview with Ashley Morgan Jackson on Mary (Martha's sister)

Today's interview comes from Ashley Morgan Jackson, of Ashleymorganjackson.com, where she shares great content ranging from reflections to hair tutorials. Most recently, I have been especially inspired by her "Burden of Being Broken" series where she discusses her experiences of "struggling with her mental health" in order to address an issue that is not "talked about openly in general, let alone in Christian circles". Ashley also tackles this subject within her interview, as she relates her own personal testimony to some of the events of (her favourite woman of the Bible) Mary's life:

An Interview with Weisaye on Esther

Today's interview comes from a very close family friend of mine, Weisaye. This beautiful lady is currently completing her degree in primary education in addition to juggling being a mother of three. She has literally watched me grow up and I, in turn, have had the privilege to do the same with her children. Be blessed as you read Weisaye's observations on Esther (her favourite woman of the Bible), her fight for social justice and how we, as modern women, can model ourselves on Esther's example within our communities.

Lessons from the Queen of Sheba on Forming Positive Relationships

Lessons from the Queen of Sheba on Forming Positive Relationships

The Queen of Sheba, otherwise known as Makeda, makes her debut in the Bible in 1st Kings 10:1-13. The story of her visit to King Solomon in Jerusalem, from her ancient Ethiopian Kingdom, is then documented again in 2nd Chronicles 9:1-12.
