What if God was speaking to you before you even knew who He was?

In this episode of the Polished Jems Podcast, Jacinta sits down with Amani Ruhasha — a missionary from Tanzania, East Africa, who spent over 15 years bringing the Gospel to unreached people groups. But before any of that, God was already writing his story.

From God training him to hear his voice in the little things, to resisting God's call, to finally surrendering to a mission bigger than himself — Amani's testimony is raw, real, and impossible to ignore.

This conversation goes deep into:

💎 How to distinguish between your own thoughts, the Holy Spirit's voice, and the enemy's voice

💎 Why God's response to our resistance reveals the depth of His kindness

💎 How to discover your spiritual gifts and the purpose God created you for

Whether you are new to faith, deep in ministry, or somewhere in between — this episode will remind you that God's kindness never stops pursuing you.
