What does it take to persevere when every door slams shut and every relationship unravels? In this powerful episode of The Climb, host Teko Bailey welcomes prophetic minister and campus revivalist Sean Smith, who candidly shares the season when “God called on line one, Intel on line two,” and every blessing turned to loss. From broken engagements and family rejection to battling an orphan spirit, Sean reveals how crushing pressure became the forge for deeper dependence on Christ, unstoppable resilience, and a campus-wide revival at America’s top party school. If you’re facing isolation, shame, or cultural resistance, this conversation will stoke your fire and show you how to rise again.
