Finding Your Assignment: Overcoming Victimhood and Living Purposefully with Tbo Touch - Episode 43

One of the most profound moments in this conversation came when I listened to Tbo Touch, a South African broadcaster and global thought leader, reframe desire itself. He spoke openly about the danger of confusing what we want with what we are actually built to carry. With striking honesty, he shared that there were seasons where he found himself recovering from things he once prayed for, experiences, access, opportunities, and influence, only to realize they were never meant to be permanent fixtures in his life. Not everything we want is good for us. Not everything we desire is safe for us. And not everything we can access is something we have the capacity to contain. Through fasting and prayer, Tbo Touch explained how discernment sharpened his prayers, shifting them from “Lord, give me more” to “Lord, give me only what I can steward.” His prayer was no longer about excess, but precision, not more than he is built for, not less than he is assigned, exactly what aligns with his growth, character, and calling. He shared how this season of life marked a turning point, where wisdom and revelation now sit at the top of his hierarchy of needs. Not visibility. Not gigs. Not endorsements. Not applause. Growth. I found myself reflecting on a deeper question. If God is only good when things are abundant, what happens when they are stripped away? But if God is good because we are growing, then fruitfulness is no longer self serving. It becomes generational. This opened the door for me to expand the conversation by reframing fasting beyond food, inviting listeners to examine what truly has control over them. I shared my own journey of fasting sugar after realizing it had become an emotional and physical dependency. What followed was not deprivation. It was clarity, healing, energy, discipline, and deeper intimacy with God. What I thought I needed, God replaced with something better.
