    I never wanted to be a Pastor - Pastor Tolu Odukoya on Loss, Ministry & Becoming
    Feb 21 2026

    Some stories begin with loss.

    And some lives are shaped by what survives after it.

    In this raw and deeply human conversation, Pastor Tolu Odukoya opens up about the moments that changed everything — losing her mother, stepping into a calling she never wanted, and the quiet ways God prepared her for what was coming.

    She speaks with honesty about:

    Knowing her mother was gone before anyone said it

    Why she isn’t afraid of death

    The real reason she never wanted to be a pastor

    Encouraging her father to remarry — and choosing the woman

    Sensing her father’s death before it happened

    What loss teaches us about living intentionally

    This is not just a conversation about ministry.

    It’s a conversation about becoming — through grief, through truth, through calling, through courage.
