From Purity to Pixels: What's Shaping Gen Christ Now?

A quick confession before we get there.

I wasn't the most brilliant child growing up. I was once called Olodo (Nigerian Pidgin term for someone unintelligent) in school. Maths was a proper struggle. Even dictation in English class made my stomach turn. But my escape, the thing that quietly kept me going, was reading.

My Aunty Regina was an avid reader, and I think that's where it started for me. I'd read stories, maps, comics, anything I could get my hands on. Not the hard stuff. I couldn't manage dense texts back then. But give me a story, give me characters I could follow, and I was there. Literature was the first subject I was actually good at. And slowly, that confidence carried over into everything else.

Books helped me find my feet. They gave me words for things I couldn't yet say. They showed me I wasn't on my own. So on World Book Day, this announcement is personal. Not just professional.

Today is World Book Day. And whilst the world celebrates stories that change us, I want to talk about a story that's already shaping an entire generation, whether we're paying attention or not.

It's not found in a book. It's written in algorithms, delivered through notifications, and consumed in two-minute clips between everything else. It's the story social media is telling your teenager about who they are. The story video streaming apps like YouTube and Netflix are whispering about what's normal. The story playing on repeat in their earbuds.

Media is discipleship now. Whether we like it or not.

And if we don't teach our teens how to navigate it biblically, someone else will teach them how to navigate it blindly.

That's why I'm announcing Book 2.

The Journey Continues

Last year, Wait! Let's Talk About It: Love, Sex & Purity for Teens opened up the conversations teenagers think about but rarely say out loud. The response was more than I expected. Parents said it gave them language they didn't have. Teenagers messaged me saying, ‘I didn't know other people felt this way.’

But here's what I've realised since then: purity doesn't just happen in bedrooms. It happens in newsfeeds.

You can teach a teenager about sexual purity, but if you don't also teach them about digital discipleship, you've only done half the job. That's what Book 2 does.

From purity to pixels. From bodies to screens. The conversation continues.

Meet the Teens

Wait! Let's Talk About It: The Media & Gen Christ follows real, imperfect teenagers through eight weeks of honest conversation.

There's Ozioma, who starts the series angry and resistant, dragged along to youth group by her mum. By Week 8, she's learnt what it means to be formed by God instead of algorithms.

There's Itoro, the quiet artist whose work goes viral. Suddenly, he's performing for an audience he never asked for, and he has to wrestle with what's real and what's just content.

And there's Olujimi, the gamer who realises his "just one more level" habit is stealing time from everything that actually matters. His struggle with entertainment addiction is raw, real, and in the end, redemptive.

Your teen will see themselves or someone they know in at least one of them.

The Framework: Wisdom + Witness

Eight chapters. Real struggles. Gospel-centred truth about social media, entertainment, identity, cancel culture, and what it means to be a witness in a world that never switches off.

Not a lecture. A conversation.

Because Gen Christ isn't an age bracket. It's an identity. A generation of teenagers who refuse to let culture have the final word. Who know their worth isn't measured in follower counts. Who scroll differently, speak differently, and shine differently.

Gen Christ is rising. And this book is their manifesto.

Wait! Let's Talk About It: The Media & Gen Christ is coming in April 2026.
