Still Turning Back To Egypt

What do you do when you believe in God—but struggle to trust Him? In this episode of Beyond Belief, we explore one of the most honest and human spiritual struggles: knowing God is real, yet still feeling afraid, uncertain, or tempted to rely on yourself instead of Him. Drawing from the powerful story of Israel’s journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, this episode reveals why even people who witnessed miracles still struggled to trust God daily. From the Red Sea to the manna in the wilderness, their story reflects our own. We often want freedom—but when uncertainty comes, we’re tempted to return to what feels familiar. This Christian podcast episode will help you understand: • Why trusting God can feel harder than believing in Him • The deeper meaning behind manna and daily dependence on God • How fear, delays, and uncertainty test your faith • Why we create “backup plans” instead of fully trusting God • How God remains faithful—even when our trust is weak • How Jesus meets us in our struggle to trust If you’ve ever felt like God is silent, distant, or taking longer than expected, this episode will help you rediscover peace, clarity, and confidence in His guidance. Trust isn’t built in one moment. It’s built daily. This episode is for anyone who wants to grow spiritually, strengthen their faith, and learn to trust God—even in seasons of waiting.

The God Who Heals

Do we still believe that God heals today — not just in Scripture, but in real life, in real pain, and in unanswered questions? In this episode of Beyond Belief, we step into the tension between what we sing on Sundays and what we face during the week. When illness, fear, and uncertainty hit close to home, faith becomes deeply personal. This is not a conversation built on clichés or easy answers — it’s an honest exploration of hope that refuses to disappear. Drawing from Mark 9 and the raw prayer, “I believe; help my unbelief,” we explore what it means to trust God when faith feels fragile, prayers feel risky, and healing feels uncertain. This episode invites you to wrestle honestly, pray boldly, and remember that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If you’re navigating sickness, doubt, waiting, or quiet disappointment — this episode is for you. You don’t need perfect faith. You just need honest faith. 🎧 Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs permission to believe again.

Are You Trusting God — or Trying to Control Him?

Are you trusting God — or trying to control Him? In this episode of Beyond Belief, we dive into Acts 8 to explore a tension many of us feel but rarely name: the pull between surrender and control. When faith becomes a system, prayer becomes a technique, and miracles become something we expect on demand, something essential is lost. Through the story of Simon the sorcerer, this episode asks hard, honest questions about modern faith: When does trust quietly turn into control?Why do we try to manage God instead of knowing Him?What happens when grace is treated like a transaction?This conversation is for anyone who has ever: Felt frustrated when prayer didn’t “work”Tried harder spiritually but felt emptierWondered whether faith is meant to feel lighter than it doesFaith isn’t a formula. Grace isn’t earned. And the gospel was never for sale. Beyond Belief is a space for honest faith, deep questions, and ancient stories that still speak into modern life — without pretending everything is neat, predictable, or controllable.

The Ripple Effect of You

The Ripple You Release In this episode, we explore the powerful impact of the words, actions, and tone we release into the world. Taking inspiration from the idea of ripples, we dive into how everything we send out—whether consciously or unconsciously—has a way of returning to us. Reflecting on Scripture and real-life experiences, we discuss how our presence can carry power, not because of what we say, but because of the intentions and attitudes behind our words and actions. You’ll discover that the ripples we release can carry healing, grace, and peace, affecting both our own lives and the lives of those around us. Tune in and reflect on how your presence can change the atmosphere wherever you go. Listen now: • Podcast Website • Spotify • Apple Podcasts • Facebook Send us a text Support the show

Don’t Say God Is Silent When Your Bible Is Closed

In this episode of Beyond Belief, we explore a hard but honest question: What if God hasn’t stopped speaking… but we’ve stopped slowing down? Don’t Say God Is Silent When Your Bible Is Closed invites listeners to rethink how they listen for God in a world full of noise, distractions, and bite-sized faith. Many of us turn Scripture into slogans—quoting verses for comfort while missing the depth, context, and transformation they’re meant to bring. This episode challenges that habit with compassion, showing the difference between grazing Scripture and truly feasting on it. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why God’s voice is often quiet, not absentHow distraction shapes our spiritual perceptionWhy reading the Bible without context weakens faithHow Scripture becomes alive when we slow down and listenWhy faith is formed through stories, not slogansThis isn’t about reading more chapters or finding quick answers. It’s about posture, attention, and learning to hear God again—through Scripture, not around it. Faith isn’t a finish line. It’s an adventure. 🎧 Listen to Beyond Belief: Podcast Website: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2561036 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5UYxxzqTBEjnjZdMP1ijBC Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/beyond-belief/id1857192043 📘 Join the conversation on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61585831259171 If this episode made you pause, question, or feel a little uncomfortable—that’s part of the journey.
