Episode Title: When Someone Else Gets Your Blessing

Episode Description:

Seven years. Three jobs. Everything I had. I poured it all into building something I thought I'd do for the rest of my life. And then I was asked to step down. Someone else stepped in and got to watch the church thrive. For 10 years I asked "What if..." until I finally understood what God was doing. In Genesis 25, Abraham takes another wife after Sarah dies—and Sarah's story became a mirror for mine. This is about what happens when you give everything and someone else enjoys the fruit. And what God might be teaching you in the waiting.

In This Episode:

  1. Abraham remarries after Sarah's death and has more sons
  2. Sarah's story: she did the work but didn't see the fullness of God's promises
  3. My story: 7 years as a Media Director, the sacrifices, and being asked to step down
  4. "That church took another Chad" - watching someone else thrive in your role
  5. The 10 years of "What if..." and what God was doing in the wrestling
  6. Why God might remove you from what you built your identity on
  7. Chasing God vs. being fed by others at the kid's table
  8. What are you building your faith on?

Key Quote:

"It took 10 years of wrestling with 'What if...' to realize God wanted me to stop depending on others to feed my faith and start chasing Him myself."
