    How Long Will You Stay There?

    You prayed. You cried. You waited. But what if you’re not waiting on God… What if you’re hiding from the way out He already provided? In this episode of Break the Chain, we explore what it really means to feel stuck — spiritually, emotionally, even physically — and why God’s provision is often ignored, not absent. If you’ve ever struggled with trusting God’s timing, overcoming past pain, breaking spiritual strongholds, or discerning your next move, this conversation will speak directly to your heart. We’ll unpack how comfort can become bondage, why dysfunction can feel safer than deliverance, and how to move from survival into purpose. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating spiritual growth, or trying to figure out what God is doing in your life — this episode is for you. ➡️ Listen now, share with someone stuck in a familiar place, and let’s break the cycle together.
