School of Ubuntu is a podcast and conversation between two brothers and the global Church on spiritual formation through the lens of culture, identity, and faith. Rooted in Scripture and shaped by an African worldview, we explore how cultural philosophy, inherited wisdom, and lived experience influence the way we understand God, ourselves, and one another.

Who We Are

Two men sit across from each other at a round glass table, engaging in conversation, with microphones in front of them, in a bright room with large windows and off-white curtains.

Drawing from biblical theology, Ubuntu philosophy, ancient traditions, neuroscience, and contemporary thought, our aim is to help people build practical frameworks for living faithfully and thinking deeply in a complex world.


Engaging topics ranging from theology and philosophy to neuroscience, leadership, and human flourishing, the invitation, and our hope is to open hearts and minds to the beauty of God’s formative work across cultures and to cultivate thoughtful discipleship until Christ is fully formed in us all.

HOW TO FAST

by Reward Sibanda

How to Fast is a practical and insightful guide to the biblical practice of fasting, revealing its power to transform your relationship with God, yourself, and your overall well-being.

Drawing from his personal experiences, pastoral wisdom, and Zimbabwean heritage, Pastor Reward Sibanda explores fasting as a holistic journey of body, mind, and spirit. Blending engaging stories, biblical teaching, and practical guidance, this book equips both new and experienced practitioners to deepen their faith, cultivate genuine communion with God, and discover the spiritual and physical benefits of prayerful fasting.

THE IMPERATIVE OF ALIGNMENT

by Dr. Thando Sibanda

The Imperative of Alignment is not about becoming more; it’s about becoming coherent. In this book, leadership coach and strategist Dr. Thando Sibanda explores why so many capable, high-performing people feel internally fragmented despite external success—and how alignment between who you are and what you do restores clarity, energy, and sustainable impact.

Blending neuroscience, leadership psychology, and real-world coaching insight, this book provides a practical framework to identify where energy leaks occur and how to recalibrate your life and leadership from the inside out. It’s not a motivational read; it’s a diagnostic and recalibration guide for leaders who are ready to move with intention rather than pressure.
