    E 43 Through the Forge - Finding God When Ministry Falls Apart - w/ Pastor Phillip Fields

    Pastor Phillip Fields has spent more than four decades in ministry, but nothing prepared him for the crisis that struck the church he planted. After two young men from the congregation fought and one lost his life, grief and accusation spread through families, leadership, social media, and the wider church community. Phillip found himself exhausted, isolated, and questioning whether he had missed God.His turning point came during long walks to a cedar tree in the woods, where he brought his pain, reputation, and unanswered questions to God. There, he sensed a simple, life-giving reminder of his identity as a loved son—and learned that he was never meant to carry every person, repair every lie, or rescue a situation he could not control.In this honest conversation, Phillip shares how God used the fire instead of wasting it. The experience helped shape Forge 365, a discipleship and mentorship mission focused on young adults who are hungry for authentic relationships, community, and the real presence of God.Listen for a powerful testimony about surrender, healing, spiritual identity, and redemption after ministry trauma.

    E40 - When God Spoke in the Storm: Cathy Garland’s Journey of Surrender, Suffering & Hearing His Voice

    Cathy Garland’s story is one of deep suffering, relentless faith, and a supernatural encounter that changed everything. Raised in a Jesus‑movement home filled with theology, hospitality, and authentic faith, Cathy knew God from childhood — but her adult life brought heartbreak she never expected. Divorce, miscarriage, broken relationships, and years of waiting left her spiritually dry, “like sucking sand through a straw.” Everything shifted the night she drove home through a violent storm and cried out to God in despair. In the passenger seat, she heard Him speak audibly: “If you don’t want your life, I do.” That moment launched a journey of trading her fears, dreams, job, relationships, and identity to God — piece by piece — until she reached what she calls absolute surrender. From that day forward, she describes living in a waterfall of God’s presence. In this episode, Cathy explains how God reveals Himself through suffering, how to discern His voice, why surrender unlocks spiritual fire, and how He fulfilled a long‑awaited vision of her children. She also shares insights from her books Revelationship and Known, offering practical theology for anyone longing to hear God more clearly. If you’ve ever felt stuck, dry, or unsure how to hear God, this conversation will speak directly to your heart.
