We open up about a different way to live: faith as trust, not as a denial of doubt. From a striking AA moment of surrender to memories of growing up under apartheid, we trace how humility and the image of God can dismantle false hierarchies and invite real healing.We share the story of a man who began to pray without belief and discovered the first liberating truth: “I’m not God.” That shift in posture becomes a doorway to change, revealing how recovery, spirituality and honesty work together. From there, we return to a church where black, white and Indian neighbours stood together at the table, a counter-narrative to the culture outside. The teaching that every human being bears God’s image confronts prejudice at its root and reframes how we see leadership, community and responsibility.Along the way we question where we place our trust when leaders fail and certainty tempts us to stop listening. We talk about the King we do not deserve, the danger of mistaking control for courage and the everyday practices that keep love real: asking better questions, forgiving when it costs, blessing the person in front of us. If you’re weary of noise and hungry for a steadier centre, this conversation offers a clear, grounded invitation to live with curiosity, courage and compassion.If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend and leave a review telling us one certainty you’re ready to release. Your story might help someone else find their first step toward trust.Drop us a lineSupport the show
