Raw vulnerability meets spiritual revelation in this deeply moving episode where I pull back the curtain on my personal journey from brokenness to purpose. Beginning with the aching void of growing up without a father who succumbed to his vices when I was just 10 years old, I share how this absence forced me to navigate manhood without a blueprint, searching for mentors who could guide me through life's complexities.

The heart of this episode explores the devastating period when, married at just 18, my wife and I lost our premature daughter after only 10 weeks of life. This marked the beginning of a directionless season filled with grief, marital breakdown, and financial hardship. Yet it was precisely in this rock-bottom moment that I began to discover my spiritual authority through prayer when my then-wife's kidneys miraculously recovered after complete failure.

My story takes a powerful turn as I reveal how early struggles with reading—not learning until fifth grade—became a lesson in persistence and mindset transformation. Through memory rather than traditional methods, I taught myself to read and advanced dramatically within a year. This personal victory illustrates my central message: our perceived limitations often become our greatest strengths when we reframe them as "superpowers" that keep us humble and connected to God. Drawing from Scripture, I explain how humility connects us to currency, resources, and elevation—transforming our handicaps into gateways for purpose.

If you're facing limitations that seem to block your path forward, this episode will challenge you to see them not as barriers but as the very things keeping you humble enough to receive your blessings.
