In this episode of Breaking Chains, Mark and I are diving into a topic that’s both raw and deeply personal—the crushing. We’re talking about those seasons when life feels unbearably heavy, when expectations are shattered, and when you’re left wondering how you’ll make it through.

We’re sharing from our own experiences of walking through these moments and what God has revealed to us about the purpose of the crushing. Spoiler alert: it’s not the end—it’s the beginning of something new.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

The Role of the Crushing: Why God allows these seasons and how they lead to breakthrough.
The Power of Surrender: Letting go of control to invite God’s order and renewal.
How Misaligned Priorities Lead to Heartache: And the beauty of allowing God to reset them.
Deep Rest as a Gateway to Fresh Vision: Why rest isn’t a luxury but a necessity for hearing God clearly.
Finding Hope in the Crushing: Practical ways to press into God during difficult times.

Notable Quotes from the Episode:

“The crushing isn’t the end of your story—it’s an invitation to something greater.”
“God doesn’t waste anything. Even in the breaking, He’s building something new.”
“Deep rest is the gateway to divine downloads and fresh creativity.”

If you’re feeling crushed right now—whether in your marriage, your work, or your personal life—this conversation is for you. God meets us in the crushing with grace, strength, and a vision for something so much greater than what we could imagine.
