Trusting God in the Detour | From Law Books to Stage Lights

In this episode, we sit down with Naana Agyei-Ampadu, a British actress, singer, and mother whose story is one of courage, faith, and divine redirection. Naana shares how she went from studying law at Sussex University (with every plan to become a solicitor) to discovering her true calling in acting, a journey that began with a single, Spirit-led moment of realisation and unfolded into a thriving career on stage and screen. In this conversation we dicuss what it looks like to trust God when your path takes an unexpected turn, to keep walking in faith when doors close, and to thrive even in seasons that feel uncertain. Naana opens up about cultural expectations, career transitions, motherhood, and how she’s learned to depend on God completely — when Plan B isn’t an option.
