In this last session, Pastor Kenneth emphasized that if you walk with God, you can trust Him. Just go, and He'll do the rest. This is because God sponsors what He commissions. Pastor Kenneth made it clear that the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11 are just ordinary men in the hands of God. If your name will be listed in the hall of faith, it is because you aligned yourself with God's plans and purposes.

In this second session, Pastor Kenneth did an in-depth and extensive teaching on Feminism. He touched on the history of feminism, forms of feminism as well as what feminism intended to address. He emphasized that anything you haven't been called to fight will be a distraction, and if your fight for a cause shifts to hatred for the thing rather than love, you are part of the problem. To wrap up this session beautifully, Pastor Kenneth made it clear that godly feminism is not only possible but also should be championed.
