Most people don’t realise they’re carrying trauma, they just think this is how life feels.

I put together something that might change that. Swipe through and tell me which one hits closest to home.

This is just the beginning, there’s so much more coming in this series. Stay close.

In just two days, we celebrate the men whose presence, sacrifice, wisdom, and love help shape the foundation of our families.
Fatherhood is a huge responsibility.

Fathers provide guidance, protection, stability, discipline, encouragement and a sense of identity that profoundly impacts every member of the family. Their influence often extends far beyond what words can express.
As Father's Day approaches, take a moment to honor the fathers in your life:
✨ Your father who did his best with what he knew.
✨ Your husband who carries the responsibility of leading and loving his family.
✨ The grandfather, uncle, mentor, pastor, teacher, or family friend who stepped into a fatherly role when it was needed most.

Let us not wait until they are gone to tell them how much they matter.
A simple phone call, heartfelt message, prayer, gift, or expression of gratitude can mean more than you realize.
This Father's Day, let's celebrate the men who have stood as pillars, protectors, providers, nurturers, and role models in our lives.

To every father and father figure: thank you for your sacrifices, your strength, your love, and your commitment to family. You are seen, valued, and appreciated.
What is one unforgettable lesson your father taught you that you'll never forget.

They sit in the front row every Sunday.
They are expected to behave better, pray louder, know more Scripture, make fewer mistakes.
They are pastor’s children.
They didn’t choose the title “Pastor’s Child” but they carry it everywhere.
At school.
In church.
In public.
Every action is observed and amplified.
Every decision is interpreted as a reflection of the pulpit yet beneath the expectations, they are simply children trying to discover who God created them to be.

Some feel genuinely called to ministry. Others love God deeply but feel called to medicine, business, arts, education, or missions in a different form.

If you were raised by a pastor or clergy guardian and chose a different path, we would love to hear your stories, you can send us a mail at myhusbandandi4@gmail.com

So the question becomes: Should ministry be inherited by default?

Myself and Apostle Joshua Talena discussed this on Episode 5 of Real Talk With PJT
