Today, we face a hard truth: Sometimes the storm you curse is the mercy you begged for. Sometimes crisis isn’t just pain—it’s rescue. Paul M. Neuberger brings the challenge, reminding us that God disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6). In a culture obsessed with comfort, cancellation, and compromise, we stand firm, refusing to numb ourselves when God sounds the alarm.
You will be tempted to medicate, rationalize, and scroll past the warnings. But that’s not who we are. We are sons and daughters of the King. Crisis exposes what comfort conceals. Jesus is still Lord—even in the collapse.
So, what will YOU do when crisis knocks and compromise whispers? Will you repent or retreat? Buckle up. This episode is raw, real, and rooted in Scripture. Let’s get after it.
Episode Highlights
01:02 – Sometimes the crisis you're cursing is the mercy you begged for without realizing it. Sometimes the thing you're calling an attack is actually a rescue. Sometimes the collapse is God refusing to let you drift toward a cliff with a smile on your face.
14:20 – Some things will never, ever change without a crisis. Some patterns are too entrenched. Some idols are too protected. Some lies are too comfortable. God could bless you endlessly and you would still refuse to surrender that one thing. Crisis forces the issue—not because God is cruel, but because time is short and souls matter.
39:47 – Trying to rush past the moment often means missing the work that God is doing in it. Crisis is an invitation to examination—not surface level reflection, but deep, honest evaluation. What did this reveal about my priorities, my idols, my blind spots, my patterns? God can't heal what we refuse to name.
