We keep looking for answers in the places that shout the loudest — capitals, credentials, or the next big breakthrough — and wonder why the things that really matter stay out of reach. This message names that tension and asks a simple but unsettling question: what if true wisdom and hope show up not in power and prestige but in small, surprising places? Using the strange, vivid story of foreign wise people drawn to a lowly child, the talk examines the limits of human cleverness and the surprising way revelation shifts everything.

The speaker gently challenges prideful certainty and invites a posture of wonder and humility, showing how being open to surprise can lead to deep joy, renewed purpose, and a different kind of strength. Listeners can expect practical encouragement to stop relying on the usual places for answers and to give themselves permission to be amazed — a nudge toward seeing life from another angle that might actually change how you move forward.
