What happens when you’re finally free, but all you’ve ever known is captivity? In this powerful teaching from The Beloved Circle, Pastor Mo explores Exodus 23:20–30 to uncover God’s “little by little” strategy for transformation.

The Israelites spent 430 years in Egyptian slavery. When God delivered them, they were physically free but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually still bound. They couldn’t problem solve. They constantly complained. They had no framework for what freedom actually looked like. Sound familiar?

God didn’t drive out their enemies in a single year. Not because they weren’t righteous enough, but because He was protecting them. The land would become desolate. Wild animals would threaten them. They weren’t ready to handle the blessing yet.

This message challenges us to trust three critical realities: God’s pace (it may not happen this year), God’s protection (delays are often divine shields), and God’s process (growth happens little by little). We want the miraculous now, but God is saying, “Your capacity needs to increase before I can give you what I’ve promised.”

The pathway forward isn’t more programs, louder worship, or trying harder. It’s simpler and harder: Be with Jesus. Become like Jesus. Do what Jesus did. When you abide in Him, fruit happens automatically. You don’t see fruit trees trying to produce fruit; they just do.

Join us Thursday nights at The Beloved Circle for inspiration, challenge, and honest conversations about what it really means to follow Jesus.
