Guests: Apostle Tony & Prophetess Wade

✨ Episode Snapshot

In this deeply inspiring episode, Danny and Amelia sit down with Apostle Tony and Prophetess Wade, senior leaders and founders of Divine Life Church, to explore their remarkable journey from brokenness to powerful kingdom leadership. From a chance encounter at a mutual friend's gathering to navigating the complexities of co-leadership in marriage and ministry, the Wades share transparent insights about submission, sacrifice, and supernatural transformation.

Listeners will discover how a near-abortion became a divine destiny, how bankruptcy court became a declaration of faith, and how two strong-willed individuals learned to die to self in order to lead together. This conversation is essential for couples in ministry, leaders navigating authority and submission, and anyone believing God can transform their past into their greatest platform.
