    Ep. 124 | Back Against The Wall

    What do you do when there’s no way out… when pressure is mounting, fear is loud, and it feels like everything is closing in? In this powerful episode of 2717, we unpack how Jesus responded when His back was against the wall — and what that teaches us about faith, trust, peace, and obedience in our own hardest moments. From storms at sea to manipulation, grief, loss, pressure, and timing delays, Jesus modeled how to remain anchored in the Father instead of reacting out of fear. We talk about why God is not a God of pressure, how fear and urgency are often tools of the enemy, and why slowing down, praying, and staying rooted in God’s Word protects us from making decisions we’ll regret. This episode also dives into grief, loss, and hope — including how we grieve as believers, trusting God even when outcomes aren’t what we wanted. If you’re facing pressure in your marriage, family, health, finances, business, or personal life — this message is for you. How to respond when life corners you Why Jesus stayed calm in the storm The danger of making decisions under pressure Why God’s timing is perfect — even when it hurts Trusting God through grief and loss How faith produces peace before circumstances change Why inner peace determines outward authority Learning to stay steadfast when voices compete for your attention When your back is against the wall, you don’t need panic — you need perspective.Jesus shows us that trust in the Father comes before deliverance, and peace begins in the heart before it shows up in life. 👉 Subscribe to 2717 for more honest conversations about faith, family, leadership, and walking with Jesus through life’s toughest seasons.👍 Like this video, share it with someone who’s under pressure, and comment below: How has God met you when your back was against the wall? #FaithOverFear#ChristianPodcast#TrustGod#BiblicalWisdom#SpiritualGrowth

    Ep. 122 | The Names of God

    When you know the names of God, you begin to understand the nature of God.And when you understand who He is, it changes how you pray, how you trust, and how you walk through life. In this full-length episode of 2717, we take a deep dive into the powerful names of God found throughout Scripture — names that reveal His character as Creator, Provider, Healer, Protector, Peace, and King. These names aren’t titles for theology textbooks; they are anchors for real life. Whether you’re facing uncertainty, fear, grief, pressure, or major decisions, this episode reminds us that God reveals Himself by name so we can call on Him with confidence and faith. Why God reveals Himself through His names The meaning and power behind names like Elohim, Yahweh, Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Shalom, and more How knowing God’s names transforms prayer from routine to relational Why God’s character never changes — even when circumstances do How calling on God’s name strengthens faith during difficult seasons The connection between God’s names and His promises Why peace, provision, and identity are found in knowing who God is God is not distant — He is personal and present When God says “I AM,” it means He is everything you need Peace isn’t found in control, but in trust Provision often follows obedience God’s name carries authority, power, and comfort Knowing God deeply changes how you live daily Many people believe in God — but don’t truly know Him.This episode invites you to go deeper, to stop seeing God only through circumstances, and to start seeing Him through His revealed character. No matter what season you’re in, the God who revealed His name is the God who walks with you now. 👉 Subscribe to 2717 for more real conversations about faith, leadership, family, and walking with Jesus in everyday life.👍 Like this video, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and comment below: Which name of God has meant the most to you in this season? #NamesOfGod #ChristianPodcast #FaithOverFear #BibleTeaching #JesusSaves #TrustGod #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianMotivation #GodIsFaithful #2717Podcast
