The first move of the enemy isn't to attack you. It's to offer you what you love.In Episode 5 of The Shepherd's Bench, Kofi Dartey and Randolph Adjei unpack what the modern church has confused about marriage, calling, anointing and timing, and what's actually essential underneath it all. In this episode: Why your calling can evolve and how to know when it's time "When you overstay a season, you enter a cycle" Why the church is wasting kingdom talent, turning entrepreneurs, lawyers, and creatives into intercessors and ushers Marriage as a system, not a validation You don't need a helper when you haven't figured out your life Just because oil was poured on your head doesn't mean you've become Wife or knife? The cost of choosing wrong This isn't a sermon on singleness, marriage or ministry. It's a redefinition of what the church has been calling essential. ____________________ The Shepherd's Bench is hosted by Kofi Dartey & Randolph Adjei and brought to you by KAC Studios.
