In this raw and vulnerable episode of Truth Be Told, Bonge opens up about the hidden cost of obedience — and how saying yes to God meant disappointing the people she loved most.

She shares her journey of dropping out of university, battling the pressure to follow a conventional path, and walking away from the version of herself that kept everyone else comfortable. As the sibling who chose the non-traditional route, Bonge reflects on how her decision impacted not only her relationship with her parents but also her younger sister, who watched it all unfold.

For her sister, Bonge’s obedience created breathing room — a kind of freedom their family had never made space for before. What once looked like rebellion became the reason her sister could pursue her own path with more ease, more grace, and less fear.

This episode speaks directly to:
• Those stuck between purpose and people-pleasing
• Anyone walking through family disappointment, pressure, or misunderstanding
• Listeners navigating calling, identity, and generational patterns
• Siblings who carry the weight of being “the first to choose different”

If you’ve ever been afraid to disrupt what’s expected in order to obey what God is saying — this conversation is for you.
