If you’ve been feeling like the ground beneath you is shifting—like what used to work just isn’t working anymore—and you’re asking, “God, what do I do now?”... this message is for you.

I know this season all too well. When the landscape changes and clarity feels distant, it can stir up anxiety, frustration, and even fear. But in this episode, I’m sharing what God spoke to me in a recent time of transition—a word that changed everything: “Stand.”

He didn’t tell me to strive harder or figure it all out.

He told me to stand.

To stop trying to control what I couldn’t, to release the old blueprints, and to trust that the battle wasn’t mine to fight. That single word became my anchor in uncertainty—and it might just be yours too.

This Episode Is for You If:

• You’re walking through a season of transition or uncertainty and need direction
• You’re tired of fighting battles that never seem to end
• You sense God calling you to slow down, but it feels uncomfortable to stop striving
• You’ve been reacting to what you see instead of responding to what God promised
• You’re ready to learn what it really means to stand firm, worship boldly, and lead with unshakable faith

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. I Had to Learn to Stand on a Solid Foundation

When everything was shifting, God asked me, “What are you standing on?”

I realized I had been standing on emotions, outcomes, and other people’s opinions instead of His Word. I had to come back to truth—back to what’s eternal, unchanging, and promised.

2. I Learned to Stand in the Promise, Not the Problem

God reminded me that what I see today is the result of what’s been planted in the past. If I respond to what’s right in front of me, I just create more of the same. But when I choose to stand on His promise—on what He’s shown me in the Spirit—I create from faith, not fear.

3. I Discovered That Worship Is Warfare

Worship isn’t passive—it’s a weapon.

When I praise instead of complain, when I lift my hands instead of grasping for control, the atmosphere shifts. I’ve watched walls fall and battles turn when I started singing in the middle of the storm. Praise confuses the enemy and anchors me in victory.

4. I Chose to Stand United

During hard seasons, the enemy loves to divide—marriages, families, and teams. I had to be intentional about guarding unity in my home and leadership. When Mark and I stand as one—one mind, one body, one spirit—we tap into Kingdom power. A divided house can’t stand, but a unified one can’t fall.

5. I Was Called to Stand in the Gap

God convicted me to stop judging and start interceding. The very people I wanted to distance myself from were the ones He called me to pray for. Standing in the gap means praying for others when they can’t or won’t pray for themselves—believing for restoration, healing, and breakthrough on their behalf.

NOTABLE QUOTES

“Standing isn’t passive—it’s posture in faith. It’s presence anchored in victory.”

“You don’t need another plan. You need a posture—one rooted in trust, worship, and unity.”

“You can’t complain and worship at the same time. Worship re-centers your heart, confuses the enemy, and invites breakthrough.”

“God’s people move by revelation, not reaction. I stopped reacting to what I saw and started responding to what He said.”

“A divided house cannot stand—so I stopped fighting Mark and started standing with him.”
