At some point, you have to let go of your plans and surrender to God's.
Akintayomi had built a successful photography business. He had control. He had a plan. He had a vision for his life. But then something happened that forced him to choose: hold onto what he'd created, or surrender to what God was calling him toward.
This episode is about that moment. That sacred space between the end of "me" and the beginning of God's vision for a life beyond what he could have imagined.

- The moment he realized his plans weren't God's plans

- How faith deepens when you have nothing left but trust
- The unexpected blessings that come after surrender
- Building an event space and ministry page that's transforming lives
