## Resource

In this episode of Talks with Gallagher, John Gallagher sits down with Dr. Faith Wokoma to discuss her book Destiny Wars: The Journey from Obscurity into Purpose and why hidden seasons are often part of God’s preparation for purpose, leadership, and spiritual authority. Dr. Faith shares powerful insight on the lives of David, Joseph, and Abraham, explaining how seasons of obscurity, testing, and inner healing can produce maturity, wisdom, and fruit instead of bitterness and delay. This conversation explores the prophetic process, renewing the mind, fear of man, offense, character development, and the danger of stepping into visibility before healing and formation have taken place. If you’ve ever felt hidden, overlooked, delayed, or confused about your calling, this episode offers biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for trusting God in the process. Dr. Faith also closes with a powerful prayer for those walking through a difficult season and believing God for renewal, healing, and clarity.
