Listen "When Faith Gets Expensive"
Episode Synopsis
Send a text to the show! Faith sounds gorgeous on paper… until it starts costing you things you didn’t plan on giving up, such as comfort, certainty, approval, and even pieces of yourself you thought you needed to survive.In this episode of Spiritual Growth & Wine, we’re talking about what I call "The Faith Stage". That raw, behind-the-scenes season where you move forward without proof, without guarantees, and without a “return policy” on your decision.I’ll share the myths that keep people stuck, the real costs of walking in faith, and practical steps for holding your ground when it feels like nothing is blooming yet. And because this is Spiritual Growth & Wine, we’re sipping on Domaine Huet Vouvray Moelleux from France’s Loire Valley, which is a late-harvest Chenin Blanc made from grapes left on the vine long after the normal harvest, risking storms and rot for the sake of extraordinary sweetness. Just like faith, it’s a gamble that’s worth it when you stay the course.In this episode, we’ll explore:The difference between hope and faith, and why only one moves you forward.The myths that make faith look easy, and the truth that will set you free.The hidden costs of the Faith Stage (and why they’re worth paying).Four simple steps to keep you anchored when the wait feels endless.If you’re in a season where the path ahead feels uncertain, this episode will remind you: You’re not losing.
