Some encounters change everything.
They mark a turning point.
They leave you different from how they met you.
Show up hungry.
Show up expectant.
Show up prepared.
*The fire will find you.*
Reboot Camp 2026 is on the horizon, and we believe God is preparing hearts for a fresh encounter with Him.

I strongly believe we need more media literacy and more engagement with literature.
Watch more films like this.
Not necessarily because you'll end up liking them, but because they help sharpen your ability to identify subtext and interpret art.
🇳🇬We’re running it back! Following widespread public demand, My Father’s Shadow will return to Nigerian cinemas from 5th June 2026 for a special limited re-release.
We swept #AMVCA12, winning Best Movie, Director, Writing (Movie), Music/Score and Sound Design. Initially released in 16 states across the country from September 2025, Nigeria was the first country in the world to show My Father’s Shadow widely in cinemas.
The film is set in the aftermath of the historic June 12 1993 Nigerian election crisis, a date that has since become Nigeria’s Democracy Day. This re-release invites audiences to revisit the film as a living archive of memory and nationhood ahead of June 12.
There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.
Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.
You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.
Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.
There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.
And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:
“What exactly are they reacting to?”
Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.
The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.
And God said:
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)
Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.
Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.
Statements like:
“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”
do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.
Genesis 1 says:
“Male and female created he them.”
God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.
And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.
Order does not mean value.
Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.
In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.
So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?
You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.
News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.
To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!
And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.
The logic collapses immediately.
The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.
And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:
“Have we represented Christ properly?”
Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.
Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.
The girlies are up.
First it was @NoraAwolowo doing a madness. With Red Circle
Now @blessinguzzi and Uzoamaka killing COML.
Respect to these queens. ❤️
~ When it comes to marketing films, you have to understand your audience. I see people saying MY FATHER’S LAND didn’t do enough PR and I laugh. You expect the film makers of the film to dance or do skits?
Just understand your audience and do what works for you and your film!
“The Nigerian audience is a lot more intelligent than you assume and than you think…”
Following their #AMVCA12 wins, Wale Davies and Funmbi Ogunbanwo encourage Nigerian filmmakers to tell the stories they want to tell.
