A look at the weekly format

“There are seasons that arrive with clarity, and seasons that arrive before we feel ready for them. This devotional was written from the middle of one of those seasons.”

— From the introduction (placeholder excerpt)

Week One · The Calling

Every week follows the same rhythm: Scripture, a truth to hold onto, and prayer — a steady weekly practice across the full year.

Portrait of author Nqobile Mnisi

About the Author

Nqobile Mnisi

Nqobile Mnisi is an academic, researcher, social entrepreneur, and writer whose life and work continue to be shaped by faith, purpose, and the many seasons of becoming. She is the founder of Phapano and is currently pursuing her PhD, while learning how to hold study, service, leadership, grief, hope, and uncertainty in the same life.

For Such a Time as This grew from that unfinished journey and from her experience of trusting God before the meaning of a season became clear. She writes not as someone who has arrived, but as someone still walking, learning, and becoming alongside the reader.
