We’re excited to share that the second installment of the Teka Family Series, Teka Homecoming, is here.

This novel continues the Teka family journey through a story of return, reckoning, and love tested by history.

About the story:

He went to bury a ghost—and found the woman he could never forget…
But some ghosts refuse to stay buried, and some loves refuse to die.

When Bart Teka travels to Nigeria to meet his estranged father, he never expects to run into Geri Pena, the woman whose memory still haunts him. But now that he’s found her again, someone will do anything to make her disappear.

Geri is desperate to return to the U.S., but leaving Africa won’t be easy. When a threat on her life forces them to flee together, Bart risks everything to protect her, only to learn that crossing an ocean can’t keep the past from catching up.

As old wounds and buried secrets rise to the surface, Bart must face his tangled legacy of adoption, betrayal, and a love strong enough to face the pain he’s never spoken aloud.

But just as new hope blooms, the past returns, reminding them that true redemption always costs more than you’re willing to pay.
Can love survive when the past refuses to stay buried…

If you’ve been following the Teka family from the beginning, or if this is your first step into their world, we’re grateful to have you here.

Thank you for walking this journey with us. 🤍

We explore what it truly means when God says, “Be fruitful and multiply.” 

We unpack how:

• Fruitfulness must precede multiplication

• The fruit of the Spirit is what God is after (not platform, visibility, or output)

• God’s design is growth from within — not growth for show

This is our not-so-quiet challenge within the episode:

• Fruitfulness > visibility
• Depth before platform
• Become, before you go

💬 Let’s talk about it:

Here are some starter questions:

1. When have you felt pressure to multiply before you were ready?

2. Which “fruit of the Spirit” has been most costly (or most beautiful) for you to grow?

3. How do you personally define fruitfulness right now in your season of life? What does “fruitfulness” mean to you personally?

4. Which of the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) is hardest for you to grow right now? Why?

5. Have you ever mistaken visibility for fruitfulness? What helped you see the difference?

6. What would change if you measured growth by peace, joy, or love, not productivity?

7. What’s a time in your life when God asked you to “become” before He let you “go”?

👇🏽 Drop your reflections below, and feel free to ramble… if you want to. 🧺

Reading Daniel has been especially helpful in this season. Talk about a man who had to stay rooted on the unchanging One during how many kings, governments, culture. 

I hope this little snippet encourage and spur you on as you live as a Vessel for Him. And if you have any comments or insights, I welcome it as always. 

God bless you!

I do like that verse. It is a great reminder that God is in control, and all we need to do is stand and wait for Him.

In a world that screams for attention, stillness is a whisper that only the heart can hear. It's a rare and precious commodity, one that's often overlooked in the chaos of modern life. Yet, it's in the stillness that we find the strength, peace, and power to navigate life's turbulent waters. This devotional journey invites you to step away from the noise and rediscover the sacred art of quieting your soul before God. Whether you're a busy parent, a driven professional, or simply someone seeking solace in the midst of life's storms, this journey is for you.

As we embark on this path together, let's fix our gaze on the One who speaks calm into the chaos: "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). These words, penned by the psalmist, hold a profound truth that can transform our lives. Stillness isn't just a feeling; it's a choice. It's a decision to quiet the mind, calm the heart, and listen to the whispers of God. In the midst of turmoil, stillness is a declaration of trust. It's a statement that says, "I may not have control over my circumstances, but I have control over my heart. And in this stillness, I will seek God."

This devotional eBook is designed to guide you through 30 days of exploring the power of stillness. Each day will include a scripture, a reflection, and a prayer to help you deepen your understanding of God's presence in your life. As you journey through these pages, I encourage you to approach stillness with an open heart and mind. Don't worry if your mind wanders or if you find it challenging to quiet your thoughts. The goal isn't perfection; it's presence. It's about showing up before God, day after day, and allowing Him to speak into your life.
