Triumph in Trying Again
In this podcast episode, the speaker emphasizes the importance of trying again in order to achieve triumph.

The story of Naaman from 2 Kings 5 is used to illustrate the power of simple instructions and the need to trust God's process. The message encourages listeners to regain their "try" and take small steps of faith, even if they seem insignificant or illogical, as they can lead to breakthrough and miracles.
Faith Requires Trying
The podcast episode emphasizes that faith requires active participation and trying. The speaker shares personal stories of how stepping out in crazy faith and obeying simple instructions led to miraculous outcomes. Through the examples of writing a book and giving sacrificially, listeners are encouraged to let go of doubt and fear, and instead trust God's plan. The speaker challenges the idea of quitting when faced with setbacks or obstacles, highlighting that each obedient step, no matter how small, is a triumph in itself. The message emphasizes that faith is relative and requires continual stretching, even in the face of challenges or past disappointment.
The Power of Obedience and Miracles
In this podcast episode, the speaker explores the power of obedience and how it can lead to miracles. Through personal anecdotes and biblical references, the message highlights the importance of trusting God and following His guidance. The story of Naaman serves as a key example, demonstrating the value of simple instructions and the need to overcome doubts and preconceived notions. The speaker encourages listeners to step out in faith, regardless of their circumstances or past experiences, and to believe that God can work miracles when they obediently try again. The episode emphasizes that triumph is not solely defined by the outcome, but also by the act of trying and obeying.
Crazy faith is about obedience more than the outcome
The podcast episode emphasizes that crazy faith is not merely about the desired outcome, but rather about obedience. The story of Naaman's healing is highlighted, showing that the act of trying, of stepping out in faith, was where crazy faith was demonstrated. The message encourages listeners to identify areas in their lives where they have been hesitant to try, and to embrace simple acts of obedience that can lead to miracles.
The supernatural is often activated by something simple, obedience is the main ingredient in miracles
Another key point covered in the podcast is that the supernatural is often activated by something simple. The example of Naaman being instructed to take a bath to be healed illustrates this concept. The episode emphasizes that obedience is the main ingredient in miracles and that it is through obeying God's instructions, even in seemingly insignificant things, that breakthroughs and transformations occur.
