🇬🇭 What drives a successful American to leave it all behind and move to Africa? 
In this powerful conversation, Tim Swain (@MrTimSwain) shares how a mission trip changed the course of his life and led him from Texas to Ghana — not just geographically, but spiritually and purposefully.

Why African Americans are searching for something deeper 
 
The role of faith and calling in life decisions 
 
The realities of living in Ghana as a Black American 
 
Identity, diaspora, and building bridges across cultures
