The Miracle We Didn't Ask For: When God Uses Pressure to Bring Freedom

00:00

21:36

What if God doesn’t remove the enemy — but uses it?

In this episode, we slow down in Exodus 14, where the Israelites are trapped between the Red Sea and the army chasing them. It’s the moment when escape feels impossible, fear feels loud, and God’s plan feels confusing.

We talk about:

  • Why God sometimes leads us into uncomfortable places on purpose

  • What it means when the pressure doesn’t disappear

  • How protection can come before deliverance

  • Why the miracle you want might not be the miracle you need

If you’ve ever felt boxed in, overwhelmed, or unsure why God hasn’t moved the way you expected — this episode is for you.

Because sometimes the miracle isn’t escape.
It’s freedom.
