Dennis G. Lindsay never imagined that surrendering titles would lead to finding his truest identity. A seasoned apostle and former pastor of 20+ years, Dennis had spent his life leading churches and ministries—but it wasn’t until he laid down the mantle of leadership that he stepped fully into his role as a son. In this powerful and transparent conversation with host Teko Bailey, Dennis opens up about childhood abandonment, blind spots in faith, and the deep healing that comes from intimacy with God.

Together, they explore how men can move beyond performance-driven living, how wounds from absent or unhealed fathers shape adult identity, and why cultivating family—like tending a garden—requires intentional, daily love. Whether you’re a leader, a father, or simply someone trying to reconcile past pain with present purpose, this episode offers insight, encouragement, and a roadmap for transformation.
