Main Scripture: 📖 Luke 9:23 (NIV) – “Then He said to them all: ‘Whoever wants to be My disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow Me.’”

🌊 Episode Overview

In this episode, we talk about how to stay disciplined in the storm — when life feels uncertain, when prayers seem delayed, and when God’s presence feels distant.

Discipline is the mark of a true disciple. Jesus didn’t call us to a comfortable walk; He called us to a consistent one. Luke 9:23 reminds us that following Him means daily surrender — even when it hurts, even when it’s hard, even when the waves are high.

This episode explores how storms reveal your faith, not destroy it — and how God sometimes uses storms to shift your focus from His hand (what He can do) to His face (who He is).

💭 Key Takeaways

1. Discipline proves devotion. Following Jesus means staying faithful daily, not just when life is easy.
2. The storm doesn’t stop your calling — it shapes your character.
3. Seeking His face means valuing His presence over His provision.
4. God builds disciples in the dark. The storm is not punishment — it’s preparation.
5. Peace comes from proximity. The closer you stay to Jesus, the calmer your heart becomes, even if the waves don’t stop.

This week, start your day with a simple prayer:

“Lord, today I take up my cross. Teach me to follow You, even in the storm.”

Don’t chase the miracle — chase the Man behind the miracle.
