Many of us unknowingly ask God to co-sign our plans rather than surrendering to His. In this episode, Sheila Jackson shares her powerful journey from a successful corporate career at General Motors to full-time ministry and global impact.

She unpacks what true surrender to God looks like, the importance of humility in leadership, and how she has impacted thousands in Africa through her Wind, Spirit, Soul Prophetic School.

Chris and Dr. Sheila also discuss how to hear God's voice, break free from distractions, and step fully into your God-designed purpose. If you’ve ever struggled with trust, obedience, or discerning God’s direction, this episode is for you.

Most people unknowingly try to get God to "co-sign" their plans instead of surrendering to His. True surrender is a process.

Hearing from God starts with relationship. You must make consistent, dedicated time for Him.

Your greatest impact starts with where you are. Look at what you’re passionate about and begin serving.

Scripture is your foundation. Just like medication heals the body, God’s Word heals the mind and spirit.

Obedience leads to unexpected doors. Dr. Sheila’s journey to teaching in Africa was not planned—but was divinely led.

"If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do what you’ve never done." – Dr. Sheila Jackson
