“This is the Full Sails podcast, and Season 2 is about one thing—hearing God’s voice and taking risks.

Too many people live stuck, waiting for a sign, afraid to move. But what if God is already speaking? What if the adventure you’re craving starts with one act of faith?

This season, I’m sitting down with business owners, missionaries, and entrepreneurs—people who have stepped out in faith, heard God’s voice, and said yes to the unknown. Their stories will challenge you, inspire you, and maybe even push you toward your own leap of faith.

Season 2 of the Full Sails podcast drops March 3, with new episodes releasing on the first Monday of every month. You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And if you haven’t checked out Season 1 yet, now’s the time—because the adventure is just getting started.

On this soundscape rich episode we will transport you to the middle of a village in Masaka, Uganda. You will get to enjoy the sounds of Africa as we interview Tyler Workman, one of the founders of Okoa Refuge. A non profit in Africa that is empowering native leaders, pastors, social workers and entrepreneurs to stop child abuse and transform their nation’s futures. We will discuss the importance of leading with trust, surrounding your self with the right people, and saying yes to God when he asks us to take big risks.

In Episode 7, Emmanuel talks about the realities of risk-taking that open us up to criticism, how to receive it, separate the helpful from the destructive, and how to become even better because of it.

Anything worth doing will invite criticism into your life, so you might as well learn to manage and thrive in what God has called you to do.
