Five episodes.

That’s how far we’ve come on Being a Christian on Substack this year. It’s been a rich, humbling journey—hearing from believers who write, think, and live their faith with depth.

This final episode features my brother, Adekunle Adekunbi , author of Reflections and Revelations. His words reminded me why we serve, why we write, and why grace must always have the final say.

He said something that stayed with me:

“Identity is a trust, not a trophy. Royalty in scripture looks like service, not status.”

That’s it. That’s the posture.

He spoke about marriage, writing, and faith—not as grand displays, but as rhythms of grace. The daily choosing, the honest repentance, the gentle editing of both heart and page.

On writing, he said, “Before I hit publish, I ask—does this sound like love? Is it truthful, tender, and useful?”

That question alone can reshape how we create, lead, and live.

He reminded us that the gospel is a covenant, not a crush—it’s patient, forgiving, and steady.

And that our real battle today isn’t technology, it’s attention. To write, serve, or love well, we must steward what holds our gaze.

So as this season closes, this is my prayer and charge:Stay near the Word. Stay near the humble.

Make truth beautiful and usefulness normal.Choose people daily and keep inviting Jesus into the ordinary.

If you feel small, he says, remember—seeds are small too, until they aren’t.Keep sowing faith. Keep speaking life.And let grace have the final say.
