Yohanna had a mind quick as a flash, but school never let him show it. From early grades, defeats piled up—report cards marked in red, a constant echo in a society where achievement was everything. Those failures weren't just numbers; they carved into his view of himself, making him small, unworthy. The future loomed empty, doors seeming locked tight.

Years passed, the weight lingering like old stone. Then, in a moment of idle listening, he tuned into a RM Network podcast. It spoke of God valuing the heart over accolades, purpose beyond scores. Different from the relentless push he'd known, it settled in him, a seed taking root.

God nudged through those words, shifting Yohanna's gaze. He wasn't broken; he was being molded. Studies took on new meaning—not for praise, but growth. Grades rose, not magically, but steadily, as effort met perspective.

Boldness followed. He applied for a job, simple work that paid enough for evening classes at university. Dreams once shelved now unfolded. Faith deepened, drawing him closer to others. He met a woman, their bond rooted in shared belief, plans for a life of mutual support forming naturally.

Inside, the real work happened. Lies of inadequacy shattered, replaced by truth: worth from God, not the world. RM had been the spark, God the flame. Yohanna's days now carried purpose, his past a tool rather than a trap. In breaking free, he found not just success, but a quiet wholeness that endures.
