Jackie Matubia<\/strong> has opened up about a possible future behind the pulpit \u2014 just months after publicly declaring her salvation and surrendering her life to Christ.<\/p>\n

Matubia made the revelation while speaking at the official launch of the Redmi Note 15 series<\/strong>, where she hinted that becoming a pastor is not off the table if that is the path God chooses for her.<\/p>\n

The actress, a household name across East Africa thanks to her iconic roles in Tahidi High<\/strong> and the hit drama Zora<\/strong>, now proudly describes herself as a \u201cliving testimony.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A bold spiritual awakening<\/h3>\n

In January 2026<\/strong>, Matubia marked a deeply personal milestone by announcing to her followers that she was born again in Christ Jesus<\/strong>. At the time, she revealed that her faith had carried her through what she described as her darkest season<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Redmi launch, she clarified that her spiritual transformation was not sudden or impulsive. In fact, she revealed that she was raised in the church.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor me, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a big shift. I\u2019m a pastor\u2019s kid,\u201d Matubia explained.
\u201cI\u2019ve been in the industry, and right now it is just coming out boldly saying Jesus Christ is Lord and I\u2019m born again, and I\u2019m happy to walk with Him until His return.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

She added that she is no longer hesitant about publicly expressing her faith and feels at peace walking openly with Jesus.<\/p>\n

On the question of becoming a pastor, Matubia left the door wide open.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOnly God is going to tell me. So, if He decides to anoint me, who am I to refuse?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Faith meets digital influence<\/h3>\n

Despite her renewed spiritual focus, Matubia remains one of Kenya\u2019s most influential digital creators, commanding over 1.2 million followers on Instagram<\/strong>. At the launch event, she also spoke about life as a content creator and what she values in a smartphone.<\/p>\n

For her, the camera<\/strong> is non-negotiable, alongside AI-powered tools<\/strong> that allow her to ask questions and work on the go. She noted that she treats her gadgets with care, explaining that her phone doubles as her office.<\/p>\n

Empowering women beyond the screen<\/h3>\n

Beyond content creation, Matubia is also quietly building a business empire. She revealed that she owns several shops and companies that many people are unaware of.<\/p>\n

Using her platform, she hopes to empower young people \u2014 especially single mothers<\/strong> \u2014 by teaching them how to import goods from China<\/strong> and sell online. She also wants to encourage women to be confident on camera as they market their products.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s next for Jackie Matubia<\/h3>\n

Fans of her acting career won\u2019t be left behind. Matubia confirmed that season two of her show Toxic<\/em><\/strong> is officially on the way, saying she is \u201cset and ready\u201d<\/em> for the upcoming season.<\/p>\n

Still, her biggest focus for 2026<\/strong> appears to be ministry. The actress has previously pledged to dedicate the year to preaching the gospel and sharing her personal journey \u2014 using her massive influence to deliver a message of faith, hope, and transformation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
