“This Is the Part of the Story Everyone Wants to Quit” Ever make a healthy, adult, God-honoring decision—and then immediately think, “Why did this just get harder?” You leave the draining job, set the boundary, start therapy, re-engage your faith… and instead of peace, you get pushback. Bills feel louder. Relationships feel awkward. Fear gets chatty. And the past—that past—starts looking weirdly appealing simply because it was predictable. This Sunday, we’re talking about that moment—the middle of the story. The space between stepping out in faith and seeing things actually change. Using the Exodus story (yes, Red Sea panic included), we’ll look at why resistance after obedience doesn’t mean you missed God—it often means the story just entered conflict. We’ll get real about why fear spikes when certainty disappears, why nostalgia lies when life feels unstable, and why growth usually looks less like a breakthrough and more like ordinary faithfulness that feels unimpressive in the moment. No clichés. No “try harder.” Just practical wisdom for people who are tired of drifting but unsure how to keep moving forward. Join us this Sunday at 9:15 or 11:15 AM, in person or online. Don’t skip this one. The middle of the story is where people quietly decide whether they’ll keep growing—or drift back to what’s familiar. And drift always writes a story. You just don’t get to choose the ending.
