 In this powerful episode of Crazy Unbelievable Faith, Brian and Kersha Owen sit down with guest Hunter Murray to discuss one of the most challenging acts of obedience: walking away from success. Hunter shares his incredible story of co-founding a company, building it for over 20 years, and then hearing God's call to leave it all behind without knowing what was next. This conversation is a profound exploration of identity, obedience, and trusting God when the path forward is unclear. It’s a must-listen for any leader, entrepreneur, or person who has ever felt that God is calling them to "something more."Brian, Kersha, and Hunter dive deep into the emotional and spiritual reality of detaching your identity from what you do and anchoring it in who you are in Christ. Hunter uses the beautiful analogy of his father's gentle invitation to "go fishing" to describe how God calls us to join Him. This episode is an inspirational guide for anyone navigating the "messy middle"—that uncertain space between letting go of the old and stepping into the new—and learning to find peace in God’s refining process, even when it feels like you're in the fire.🔥 What You’ll Learn:The Invitation to "Go Fishing": A heartwarming analogy for how God gently invites us to join Him in His work, reminding us that we always have a choice to say yes.Identity vs. Accomplishment: The profound challenge of separating your self-worth from your career title and earthly success, and finding your true identity as a child of God.Navigating the "Messy Middle": What it looks like to live in the uncomfortable, in-between season after a major leap of faith, and how God uses this time to refine and prepare you.Obedience Over Logic: Why following God's call often defies conventional wisdom and how to handle the opposition—both internal and external—that comes with a radical act of faith.God as the Good Father: Hunter’s testimony of clinging to the promise that God will not ask you to leave something secure only to abandon you as an orphan.The Refiner's Fire: Kersha’s powerful image of how God sits with us in our trials, purifying us until He can see His own reflection in us.God Can't Steer a Parked Car: The critical importance of taking the first step of obedience, even when you can't see the entire staircase.Hearing God’s Voice: Practical insight into distinguishing God’s voice from your own thoughts and the noise of the world, especially when He asks you to do something you wouldn't naturally choose.💬 Memorable Quotes:Hunter: "I think I finally realized he wants to tell his story through me."Kersha: "The messy middle is the digression of your flesh and the buildup of your spirit, more Christlike."Hunter: "I'm a good father. I'm not gonna ask you as my child to leave something and then leave you as an orphan."Brian: "God can't steer a parked car."Hunter: "Who am I apart from what I do or what I can produce? And that's a really scary thing to try to face."Hunter: "I had a great relationship with my dad. But... he would come into my bedroom on Saturday mornings and he would just whisper in my ear and he would say, 'Do you want to go fishing?'... That was the invitation. That's what it felt like from the Lord."Kersha: "When you are silver and you're placed over the fire the refiner... sits there and studies that piece of silver until he can see his reflection in it, and that's when he knows that the silver is purified."🛑 Reflect + Apply: Questions to Ask YourselfIs your identity more tied to what you do or who God says you are? How would you feel if your career or primary role was taken away tomorrow?Have you ever felt God whispering an invitation to you? Like Hunter's "go fishing" moment, what might God be inviting you to join Him in right now?Are you currently in a "messy middle"? Instead of rushing through it, how can you lean into God's refining process and trust that He is preparing you?What is one area of your life where logic and reason are preventing you from being fully obedient to what you feel God is asking?Hunter had to take the first step without knowing the destination. What is one step of faith you can take this week, trusting God to reveal the next one in His timing?Do you truly believe God is a Good Father who won't abandon you? How does that belief (or lack thereof) affect your willingness to take risks for Him?Scripture Focus:Jeremiah 29:11: This episode is a living example of God's promise: "For I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."John 14:18: Hunter’s story powerfully reflects Jesus' promise, "I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."This episode also alludes to the Refiner's Fire (Malachi 3:3), reminding us that God's presence in our trials is for our purification and ultimate good.🙌 Join the MovementIf you've ever felt trapped by your own success, scared to take a leap of faith, or are currently walking ...
