In this unapologetically raw conversation, we continue where we left off—moving between the tension between staying grounded and staying open. Last time, we challenged childhood beliefs, unlearned silent rules, and cracked open that powerful line:
“Strong convictions, loosely held.”
But this time… we go deeper.
Because conviction is one thing. Obedience? That’s where it gets real.
Today’s episode dives headfirst into the cost of obedience—especially when the outcome isn’t clear, the reward isn’t instant, and the journey feels invisible to everyone else.
We ask the hard questions:
What happens when conviction calls you… but it costs you more than you expected?
How do you keep showing up when your vision doesn’t match your current reality?
Where is the line between faithful waiting and spiritual procrastination?
This is about the gap—between what we know and what we see.
Between obedience and outcome.
Between trust and the truth we’re living right now.
🧠 What We Explore in This Episode:
The unseen cost of obedience: emotional, financial, relational
What to do when clarity feels like a curse—because now you can’t unsee your vision
How to respond when obedience feels invisible or misunderstood
The lonely space of being in-between: not who you were, not yet where you're going
How to discern between divine waiting… and resistance disguised as comfort
💬 Key Conversation Prompts & Questions:
“What’s one moment where obedience felt invisible—or even misunderstood?”
“Dr. J, you mentioned that obedience often has a cost. How do we hold onto purpose when the price feels personal?”
“Apostle Nicky always says the blessing is in the instruction, not the outcome. How do we live that out when nothing seems to be working?”
“There’s this weight that comes with clarity—how do we keep faith when our current season doesn’t reflect our future vision?”
“How do you know when you’re waiting in faith… versus avoiding a necessary shift?”
🛑 Truth That Landed:
“Obedience is the bridge between revelation and manifestation.”
“Clarity isn’t always comforting—it’s often confronting.”
“What you’re calling ‘waiting on God’ might actually be God waiting on you.”
“Fruit follows obedience, not the other way around.”
“The gap is proof you're in motion.”
👂 Why This Episode Matters:
This one is for the leaders, the risk-takers, the visionaries…
…the ones who said yes but are still waiting on the fruit.
The ones who obeyed in faith but are walking through silence.
The ones who are questioning if they heard right—or if they’re just tired.
This episode is your reminder:
Obedience is not about optics. It’s about alignment.
And alignment always precedes breakthrough.
