T.D. Jakes on Figuring It Out When You Don’t Know the Way | NXT Chapter with T.D. Jakes

In this powerful episode of NXT Chapter , T.D. Jakes reflects on the courage it takes to build a life, a vision, and a legacy without having every answer in advance.

Centered on the idea of “figuring it out,” Bishop Jakes shares why the experience of building something for yourself is often more valuable than the thing you are trying to build. Drawing from George Washington Carver’s words, his own journey in ministry, and the hard lessons of public mistakes, delays, setbacks, and transitions, Jakes encourages listeners not to be defeated by criticism, uncertainty, or the fear of starting over.

He reminds us that success is rarely handed over fully formed — it is slow-cooked through patience, persistence, faith, and the willingness to keep going even when the road is unclear. This episode is for anyone standing at the edge of what’s next, unsure of the path but determined to move forward anyway.

As Bishop Jakes says, “If you did it once, you can definitely, definitely, definitely do it again.” See for privacy information.
