Discernment in a Time of Transition with Afua Ofosu-Barko
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Goldenwood CEO David Kim sits down with global development leader Afua Ofosu-Barko to reflect on navigating unexpected vocational transition in a moment of profound cultural and technological change.
After years of work in international development and global health systems, Afua found herself entering a season of disruption and transition amid shifting institutions and uncertainty across the global job market. Drawing from her experience in Goldenwood’s Nautilus program, she shares how practices of rest, spiritual attentiveness, and communal discernment have helped her reframe this season not as a loss, but as an invitation to redefine work and cultivate deeper trust in God’s guidance. Together, they explore how seasons of uncertainty can open space for deeper grounding, renewed imagination, and a wisdom that responds to God's call in our lives.
