In this episode of 12-Minute Convos with Jesus Believers, Engel Jones connects with author and missionary Festus Efosa, joining the show from Brass Island in southern Nigeria. Festus vulnerably shares the wild reality of his calling: having grown up in a mountainous region with zero exposure to water, God deployed him to a remote island where he must regularly navigate the open ocean on speedboats! He reflects on his early years, his experiential surrender to Jesus, and how God restored him from a season of heavy academic delay a beautiful process of restoration during which he met his amazing wife, Blessing, and went on to write 14 books.
Listen in as Festus discusses the core message of his latest book, No Place Is Bad If God Sends You, and explains why true obedience means letting go of our own preferences to rely fully on divine instruction. If you are wrestling with an uncomfortable deployment in your life or waiting on God's perfect timing, Festus's passionate reminder that Jesus is a trusted guide who never fails will deeply anchor your soul!
