The Word That Changes Everything

There’s a word that sounds so simple you might brush right past it.
It’s not a fancy theological term. It’s not a word that requires a seminary degree to understand. But it might be the one word standing between where you are right now and the life God is actually calling you into.
The word is through.
Not around. Not under. Not “I’ll deal with it later when I feel stronger.” Through.
In the very first episode of my brand new podcast series — Unlocking the THRIVE Code — I share the story of a man I’ll call John. He was gifted. He was called. And one day, he just... stopped. He walked away from everything he knew he was meant to do and ended up handing out fries at a McDonald’s drive-thru.
Maybe you’ve never worked at McDonald’s. But maybe you’ve had a John moment. That moment where going around felt a whole lot safer than going through.
This episode is for you.
Because here’s what I know to be true: God doesn’t just wait for you on the other side of the storm. He shows up in the middle of it. But only if we actually go through.
