In this short but meaningful MercyCast episode, we explore one of the most universal questions we face: What do we do when life leaves us feeling powerless? Whether it’s circumstances we can’t control, emotions that overwhelm us, or seasons where our strength runs out, we all face moments where our limits feel loud.

Drawing from the life of the Apostle Paul, we uncover the surprising truth that Scripture teaches: our weakness is not the end of the story — it may actually be the beginning of real strength. When we lean into Christ’s power instead of our own, powerlessness becomes a doorway to deeper trust, humility, and spiritual resilience.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Why feeling powerless is a normal part of the human experience
• How Christ’s power meets us when we have nothing left to give
• What the Apostle Paul teaches us about weakness and strength
• Practical encouragement for living faithfully when you can’t “fix” everything

Key Insight

Powerlessness is not failure — it’s an invitation. When we release control, we make space for God’s strength to carry what we can’t.

Perfect for listeners who:

• Feel overwhelmed or exhausted
• Are facing situations outside their control
• Want a deeper understanding of how faith meets real-life struggle
• Need encouragement in seasons of weakness, anxiety, or uncertainty
