From his sacred dreams and dedicated for eighteen years, grapples with growing dissatisfaction and hypocrisy within his Jakarta church, eventually leaving after profound divine dreams and biblical revelations. This decision triggers a cascade of rejections: first from his traditional Muslim family, who attempt to force him back to Islam, and then from his church community, where new leaders unjustly dismiss him and penalize his wife. Despite facing threats of physical harm from his former leaders and the emotional toll of being "ghosted" and treated as "rubbish," He finds solace in his wife and the wise counsel of his spiritual mother called Mom Love, embracing his pain as part of a divine reshaping process, much like clay in a potter's hands.
Choosing radical forgiveness and spiritual resilience over bitterness, he confronts his former colleagues, leading to the exposure of his leaders deceit and their removal from leadership. Though officially cast out from the church's structure and facing a suspended career for them, they discover an expansive, unbounded ministry. They now travel internationally, composing music with an Indonesian identity, writing novels and articles, and establishing free schools and affordable kitchens in remote areas. Their journey, forged through immense trials, becomes a living testament to their unwavering faith, proving that genuine leadership stems from "truth, love, and hope," yielding abundant fruit far beyond the confines of human institutions.
