A throwback image of Guiding light assembly church Wale Adefarasin at the beach with his wife and children offers a quieter counterpoint to the public weight often attached to spiritual leadership. Away from pulpits and titles, the photograph captures something ordinary yet rarely centered — presence, family, and unguarded time.
It reminds us that behind public callings are private lives shaped by the same need for rest, intimacy, and grounding as anyone else. In a culture that often flattens leaders into roles, moments like this invite a softer reading of legacy — one built not only on sermons delivered or influence held, but on relationships nurtured away from view.
Perhaps the question worth sitting with is this: how do we allow public figures the fullness of humanity, without reducing them either to ideals or to symbols?
