What Success to God is and How the Adventist Manual on Music needs Change I Ep. 4 Akil Henry

What does it look like to pursue a career in music while staying rooted in your faith? In this episode of Youth Perspective Press, we sit down with musician, bandleader and radio host Akil Henry to explore the intersections of music, identity, culture and Christianity. From his journey into music and broadcasting to leading Between Worlds, a band exploring the intersections of music from across the diaspora, Akil shares the stories, ideas and experiences that have shaped his creative journey. We explore the meaning behind his latest single, In The Free, the vision behind One Sound, and the realities of building a career in music while navigating the tension between personal ambition and God’s direction. How do we recognise the doors God is opening? What does success look like through His eyes, rather than our own? And how can we rethink the place of music within the Church? This is a conversation about creativity, calling, cultural identity and learning to trust God’s timing as you pursue the gifts He has given you. Watch the full conversation and join us as we explore what it means to make music with purpose. You can also listen to Youth Perspective Press on Adventist Radio London.
