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.

In this episode, I share my personal testimony of disobedience and how it shaped my journey back to God. Drawing from Jeremiah 11, I explore the importance of obedience to God—not for His benefit, but for ours—and the dangers of idol worship, including ancestor worship. This is a heartfelt call to trust God fully, return to Him, and embrace obedience as the key to a life of purpose and fulfillment. Go back to the Father; you are not too late.

In this episode of “Truth Be Told,” I dive deep into a topic that many of us struggle with: “The Bible doesn’t make sense to me.” If you’ve ever found yourself applying logic to scripture and feeling like it just doesn’t add up, this conversation is for you. I address the tension between our human reasoning and the spiritual truths revealed in the Bible.

We often seek understanding and identity from sources like ancestors, star signs, sage, or even other people, but can they truly define who we are? In today’s episode, I challenge the notion of allowing anything outside of the Creator to give us our purpose and identity. The truth is, our gifts, purpose, and calling are found in God, and He speaks to us through His Word — the Bible.

We also explore the idea that not everything in the Bible is meant to align with human logic because our minds are limited and bound by the physical world. To believe solely in our own intelligence while dismissing the wisdom of the Creator is to overlook the One who designed our minds in the first place.

Tune in for a candid conversation on why reading the Bible requires faith beyond human understanding and why it’s essential to look to God, not man, for our true purpose and identity.
