    Episode #22 - Christmas Special with Ike Anison

    In this episode, we sit down with Ike S. Anison, author of The Joseph in You, for a thoughtful conversation about purpose, leadership, and the moments in life that shape us. What if betrayal, disappointment, and waiting seasons weren’t setbacks—but part of a bigger plan? Through the story of Joseph, Ike invites us to reflect on how we respond to challenges, how we lead, and how we steward the dreams placed in our hearts. As we move through the Christmas season, this episode is an invitation to slow down and reflect:  Are we helping destiny grow—or holding it back? 📘 The Joseph in You is available here: Amazon: https://a.co/d/03oCiWZ eBook: www.ikeanison.com 🎧 A meaningful listen for a reflective time of year.
