I thoroughly enjoyed talking with Author, Speaker, Revivalist, and joy enthusiast Shelter Musavengana about all things—her new book, her passion for Jesus, her love of tea and the childhood escapades surrounding it, and the joys of being “zapped" by the Holy spirit.

We’re already planning a second sit-down to dive deeper into her book, so stay tuned, because you don’t want to miss it.

Shelter Musavengana is a Zimbabwean-born “Kingdom citizen,” a licensed minister under Bethel Church in Redding, California, and the founder of One King Global, a ministry dedicated to making Jesus known. She is a devoted follower of Christ, a speaker, itinerant minister, worshipper, and writing consultant with a Master’s in Creative Writing.

A graduate of the Every Nation Leadership Institute (now Every Nation Bible School) in Windhoek, Namibia, and the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, CA, where she remains actively plugged in, Shelter lives to see people’s lives collide with the love, power, and presence of God.

I had a great time catching up with Kuda Rice in this fun and insightful episode. Titled after his first EP this is an ode to young Kuda Rice as a testament that life is not always what we see in the now.

Kuda Rice is a Zimbabwean writer, storyteller and performance artist. His storytelling is mainly portrayed through poetry and spoken word which has also transformed to not only be expressed through words, but also through visuals and fashion. At his core is the need to tell his inner truths and experiences as well as external truths and other people’s experiences of the different spheres of life.

We dove into his journey growing up, explored the twists and turns of his creative path, and unpacked what truly sets him apart as a young creative. From honest reflections to moments of vulnerability and lighthearted moments, this conversation reveals what makes Kuda so relatable and why so many people find it easy to connect with Kuda.

This episode plunges into the dark alleys of unimaginable stories, getting to the heart of those shocking adventures I have had and never thought I would survive. When life throws me into the deep end, simply assuming I'll swim—when it's truly sink or swim—this is about that desperate floundering, arms and legs thrashing in all directions, no strategy, just pure survival instinct!

The juxtaposition of real life stories of danger, laughter and the drama that unknown fears introduce to the script of my life. Highlighting why it’s important to never go it alone but rather go with a friend who is closer than a brother.

If you are a keen and curious mind like me you will enjoy this!

In this episode I dive into a fascinating topic for me : Passover and Easter.

I talk about one of the most popular and meaningful Jewish holidays, Passover and Easter the same for Christians. This year these events coincide!

Although, Passover and Easter couldn’t be more different from each other in the foods, rituals, and traditions that surround each holiday. But, surprisingly, the seasonal overlap between these two holidays is no accident. Unlike the overlap between Hanukkah and Christmas, which is basically coincidental, Passover and Easter are intimately linked.

This episode is a passionate talk around conversations I have been having in the last week.

I visited the historic Cape Coast Slave Castle and had the remarkable Justice K. Acquah as our tour guide. He absolutely does Justice to the tour and his passion is undeniable. He has been a tour guide at the Cape Coast for over a decade and some.

This experience was very evocative for me, I found myself teetering between weeping, a feeling of asphyxiation and nausea at some point at the gruesome reality of what took place here. I share this talk because by the time we left I was able to see what lessons to take from the time we spent in the castle and I hope you will be provoked into some hard questions and conversations.

The building struck me as a little girl trying to keep up appearances, its whitewashed exterior a facade of innocence. As I entered, the stark contrast between light and dark hit me with visceral force. The male slave dungeon, hidden beneath the pristine surface, was oppressively heavy, shrouded in darkness, and claustrophobically confining. The juxtaposition of the building's outward purity and its grim interior deeply haunting.

I know for most when we talk about #Mission24/7 most people think its escapist and for lazy folks who have not got anything else to do but Mayn let me walk you into some truth in this episode.

Missions is not only for super-Christians, you can be on mission everyday from where you are. Missionaries are not glorified tourists living an easy travel life. You can lose your life on these streets. Its a life and death issue.

In this episode Umind?! walks through the issues to do with Missions and field work and talks about a trip where she could have died.

One of those conversations that are meaningful in more ways than one because they are real, raw and authentic. Join Gracia and I in a conversation we tried to have in Uganda, failed dismally, nothing seemed to align for us in 2022 so to be able to finally do this was such a win for us both. When you listen to this episode you pick up why Gracia is a Storyteller and why she is the depiction of the term deep. She feels acutely and some of these emotions end up hanging out on pages and lounging in meaning in songs as she weaves stories that give a generation language for expressing pain that can’t be interpreted easily.

Henry David Thoreau said-The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. How true is that?In this episode Umind?! looks at the many places in her life where she has needed take a step back and evaluate. A kind of audit of life based on experience lived so far. They say everything that’s good comes at a price but others insist that nothing in life is free.

Umind?! goes solo on Sit With U for the first time and shares some of her poetry in this episode as well as opening up, taking us a step closer into her life. From the decisions she has made in her life in the areas of dating, singleness, travel and work. I guess a new year is always refreshing and proffers a new slate that is the blank canvas we all need to start afresh. Tea Alone sometimes is anecdotal, reflective, revealing and chewy in that it reveals the processing we all go through as we take the helm of the New year, the expectations we have juxtaposed against the reality of what actually happens. It’s true that some things are caught and not taught and no one can run effectively when they are lugging Suitcases. It’s from this that she shares some of the experiences and nuggets that she is carrying into 2023 assisted mostly by the lessons 2022 taught her and what she was able to apply in her life with some epic fails and wins. You will enjoy this.
