TY Bello on Why Leaders Fail Without Divine Direction

#TYBello #ChristianPodcast #HearingGod #LifeOfAServant #ServantLeadership How do you hear God's voice when you're facing disappointment, uncertainty, heartbreak, or a season of waiting? How do you trust God when the promise hasn't arrived? And how do you stay hungry for Him after you've already experienced success? Paska Grace sits down with legendary photographer, worship leader, songwriter, entrepreneur, and creative visionary TY Bello for an unforgettable discussion about faith, obedience, purpose, worship, creativity, healing, and learning to follow God through every season of life. This is not just a conversation about hearing God. Becoming the kind of person who can recognize His voice. TY Bello opens up about her childhood, giving her life to Christ at a young age, surviving trauma, discovering her identity in God, navigating years of infertility, building a groundbreaking creative career, finding worship beyond music, and learning how to surrender every success, every dream, and every season back to God. Throughout this episode, TY shares profound wisdom on: • Hearing God's voice and recognizing His leading • Discovering your purpose and calling • Why identity must come before assignment • Healing from childhood wounds and trauma • The power of redemption through Jesus Christ • Creativity as a partnership with the Holy Spirit • Building a life that reflects God's heart • Photography, beauty, and seeing people the way God sees them • The difference between Christian music and true worship • Why some songs are meant for the secret place • Navigating disappointment, waiting seasons, and unanswered prayers • Trusting God through infertility and miscarriage • Learning to worship when life doesn't make sense • Success, influence, and staying spiritually hungry • Why God sometimes tells us to stop • The danger of making ministry, creativity, or success an idol • Radical obedience and surrender • What it means to live a life fully yielded to God TY Bello also shares never-before-heard insights into: • Her journey through the University of Lagos • The early days of Kush • The birth of her photography career • Encountering deeper worship in Dallas • Learning to create from rest instead of striving • Motherhood and personal transformation • The spontaneous worship movement • What God is teaching her in this season One of the most powerful moments in this conversation is TY's reflection on worship: "Worship is not music. Worship is you and God." If you've ever wrestled with questions like: How do I know God is speaking? How do I hear God's voice more clearly? What do I do when God's timing doesn't match mine? Why am I in a waiting season? How do I discover my purpose? What does true worship actually look like? How do I stay faithful when I'm disappointed? How do I obey God when the instruction doesn't make sense? Then this conversation is for you. ABOUT TY BELLO TY Bello is one of the most influential creative voices in Africa.
