Theological discussions focus on the nature of Jesus Christ and the practical application of Christian principles in faith and leadership.

Initial reflections examine the concept of forgiveness, critiquing ‘toxic positivity’ and suggesting that true forgiveness is a slow, daily discipline. These discussions also outline various roles of Christ, such as Physician, Prophet, Teacher, and King.

Subsequent reflections expand into pastoral duties and the spiritual state of the church. Drawing from the Book of Ezekiel, these perspectives emphasize the responsibility of clergy to serve congregations with sacrificial love. Additionally, using the Book of Revelation, the character of Jesus is explored as the ‘Alpha and Omega’ to provide encouragement to believers facing persecution.
