Dunnie Onasanya is a Nigerian-American artist whose work is heavily influenced by her West African heritage and faith in GOD. As an expressionist intuitive painter she creates breathtaking abstract works, cultural masks, hamsas, and other historic symbols with the use of bright bold colors, metallic paints, gold leaf, crushed glass, and jewels. In this episode, she reflects on her journey so far, lessons learned in life, marriage, motherhood, career and the one thing nobody tells you about love and relationships. 

Simone Agoussoye is a Washington DC artist who creates portraiture that exists at the intersection of realism and reverence. For over a decade, she has explored the depths of human identity through paint, glass, and texture—rendering faces not merely as likenesses, but as living reflections of spirit, beauty, and strength. Her mixed-media works often integrate materials like crushed glass, an element she uses to refract the complexities of individuality and transformation. Each fragment becomes a metaphor for resilience, illuminating the space between realism and imagination. In this episode, she takes us down memory lane as she explores the moments that signaled art was her destiny and the many doors God has opened for her. She also shares:  1. How her faith in God has been the bedrock of her life.  2. Her connection to the continent of Africa, and the need for unity amongst the Black diaspora.  3. Her message for her 7 year-old self. 4. How she grew into loving herself more, realizing her value; and why knowing your self-worth can impact your net worth, because you demand more when you know you're worth more.  5. A Message for up and coming artists  To check out some of Simone's work and appearances, visit her website: simoneagoussoye.com

Sam Collier is no stranger to adversity. His birth mother gave him and his sister up for adoption because she could not afford to raise them. Life in Sweet Auburn, Atlanta was far from a bed of roses. He was written off, shut down and counted out. Yet, his destiny was never denied. He found solace in his salvation and courage in the cross. But when he faced his biggest adversity yet – divorce – as a Hillsong pastor, he found himself questioning the very bedrock of his entire life: his faith and the church. In this episode, he is vulnerable and unvarnished as he shares the role he played in the demise of his marriage; the lessons he learned; the healing process he went through; and how his life and ministry are being shaped by his ordeal. In the end, he reminds us that God is still in the business of turning our mess into powerful messages if we can come to a place of complete brokenness and total surrender.
