Order My Steps: The Christian Journey

Cory Young

Life is a journey of steps—some certain, some uncertain, some guided, and some misdirected. My own journey began in darkness, behind prison walls, a place where hope seemed lost and purpose hidden. But even there, God was at work. I was sentenced to ten years in 2000, served four years in prison, and completed the remainder on parole in 2012. During that time, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. It was in prison, in the quiet of my heart, that I first encountered God’s presence. I realized that even in the darkest places, He was ordering my steps. This book is a journey—a roadmap for anyone seeking to walk faithfully with God. Through Scripture, personal testimony, and practical lessons, I want to show you that no step is wasted when God is guiding your life.

    God’s Silence

    Send us Fan Mail God feels quiet and that silence starts sounding like rejection. We’ve been there too, and we made this message for the moments when you’ve been praying, waiting, and wondering if heaven is listening. The heart of it is simple but strong: silence doesn’t mean absence, and delay doesn’t mean denial. When God isn’t speaking the way we expect, He can still be present, faithful, and actively working behind the scenes. We open Scripture and sit with the raw honesty of Psalm 13, where David asks God, “How long?” If a worshiper like David faced silent seasons, we don’t have to shame ourselves for struggling. We also lean on God’s promise in Hebrews 13:5 and challenge the habit of measuring God’s presence by our feelings. Then we talk about waiting as spiritual formation, using Isaiah 40:31 to reframe the quiet as a training season where strength is rebuilt and faith gets real. We also explore how God speaks without shouting, pointing to 1 Kings 19 and the still small voice, and we look at John 11 where Jesus delays before coming to Lazarus. What looks like neglect can actually be a setup for something greater than what we asked for. Finally, we look at Jesus and the silence before resurrection as our reminder that quiet is not the end of the story. If you’re walking through a silent season, listen all the way through, share it with someone who needs hope, and subscribe, rate, and review so more people can find encouragement for the Christian journey. “Order My Steps: The Christian Journey”Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Order My Steps: The Christian Journey.

    Winning In Difficult Seasons

    Send us Fan Mail Life can get loud fast: pressure at work, stress in your finances, trouble in your family, and that quiet fear that you’re spiritually running on empty. When nothing seems to go right, the biggest question is usually the same one: God, why am I going through this? We speak directly to that moment with a faith-filled reminder that your hard season may not be here to break you, it may be here to build you.  We ground the message in Scripture and real-life encouragement, starting with the promise that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. If God is ordering your steps, then the delay had purpose, the setback had meaning, and the trial is not wasted. We walk through James 1:2–4 to reframe trials as spiritual training, then challenge the habit of letting a season become your identity. You are not your struggle. You are not your shortage. You are not your worst week.  From Romans 8:28 to Isaiah 40:31, we talk about endurance, renewed strength, and the kind of peace that doesn’t make sense on paper. We also hit a hard truth from Galatians 6:9: many people quit too soon, right before the harvest. And when doubt gets loud, we point to Jesus as the proof that what looks like loss can still lead to victory.  If you need Christian encouragement, biblical hope, and practical faith for difficult seasons, press play, share it with someone who’s fighting quietly, and then subscribe, rate, and leave a review so more people can find the word when they need it most. “Order My Steps: The Christian Journey”Thank you for tuning in to this episode of Order My Steps: The Christian Journey.
