I used to think the world was smarter than me.
More capable. More certain. More complete.
I thought wisdom lived in the rooms I wasn’t invited into.
I thought greatness belonged to the names I followed from afar.
So I made myself small.
I kept learning but never felt learned.
I kept serving but never felt seen.
I called it humility, but it was fear wearing scripture as perfume.
Of course, I never felt this way in the church.
In spiritual spaces, I knew the language. I knew the rhythm.
I was confident there, surrounded by the familiar weight of His presence.
But this is not about pulpits or prayer circles.
This is about boardrooms, world affairs, and places where God is rarely mentioned out loud.
I thought the world had it all figured out.
I thought the people running systems and building empires had the answers.
I was ready to sit, learn, and observe brilliance.
But this week changed everything.
I sat with men who move millions.
I listened to voices that influence nations.
And I realized something simple:
They are not as sure as they look.
They are still guessing.
Still uncertain.
Still human.
And somehow, they looked to me for answers.
They expected wisdom.
They expected clarity.
They expected light.
And Heaven help me—
I had it.
That was the moment I knew.
I had overestimated the world and underestimated the Spirit within me—
something I first wrestled with in The Bane of the Gifted,
where I learned that even those full of light can feel blind to their own brilliance.
I kept thinking I was behind.
But I was never behind.
I was being prepared.
God doesn’t place His children in powerful rooms to make them feel small.
He places them there to remind the powerful who truly gives wisdom.
The world is loud.
But loud doesn’t mean wise.
And confidence without clarity is still confusion dressed in a suit.
I used to think I was called to learn from them.
Now I know I’m called to shine among them.
The world doesn’t have it all figured out.
If it did, God wouldn’t send His people into it.
You are not behind.
You are not small.
You are not unqualified.
You are evidence that Heaven still interrupts boardrooms
You are evidence that Heaven still interrupts boardrooms.
