Discouragement is more common than we think.

In this honest and practical message, Pastor Wisdom Elikem Sablah teaches on what to do when you feel discouraged - when courage feels drained, hope feels distant, and you’re tempted to give up.

Discouragement literally means “to take courage away.” And since we live life by courage - the courage to try, apply, speak, build, and keep going - losing it can feel paralyzing.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• You are not alone - even David, Elijah, Paul, and Jesus experienced deep moments of discouragement
• Discouragement is a feeling, not a verdict
• Why you must take your feelings to God, not away from Him
• How the Word of God restores hope (Romans 15:4)
• Why comparison drains strength and understanding seasons restores perspective
• The power of speaking God’s Word over yourself
• Why staying connected to people matters
• The importance of rest in overwhelming seasons

Through scriptures like Psalm 42:5, 2 Corinthians 4:8–9, Isaiah 43, John 16:33, and Isaiah 40:31, this message reminds us that trouble may come — but despair does not have the final word.

The solution to discouragement is hope. And hope is found in Christ.

Be encouraged. Wake up. We go again. This season will pass — and joy will come in the morning.

Listen, reflect, and receive strength.

Episode Title:

What do you do when you feel distant from God?

In this honest and practical teaching, Pastor Wisdom Elikem Sablah addresses a question many believers silently struggle with: “I feel far from God - what should I do?”

The first truth is simple but powerful: it’s a feeling. Feelings fluctuate, but God’s Word does not. Hebrews 13:5 reminds us of His unshakable promise - “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Even when you feel distant, God is not.

This episode explores:

• Why feelings are not reliable indicators of God’s presence
• The unchanging, exhaustless love of God (Romans 5:8; Romans 8)
• The Father’s heart through the story of the prodigal son
• How to be honest with God in prayer
• Simple, practical ways to reconnect daily

Pastor Wisdom emphasizes that reconnection doesn’t require performance or long hours of striving. Start small. A verse a day. Ten minutes of honest prayer. Worship. Godly music. Daily fellowship. One day at a time.

You are the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8). You are engraved in the palm of His hands (Isaiah 49:16). His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:23).

God is not far from you. He is near. He is loving. And His arms are open.

Listen, reconnect, and rest in His love.

In Part 3 of the Auxano series, Pastor Wisdom Elikem Sablah continues teaching on what it means to grow this time focusing on growing in wisdom.

Luke 2:52 shows us that Jesus grew in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. Growth is intentional, and wisdom is foundational.

In this episode, you’ll learn that wisdom begins with knowing and doing the will of God (Ephesians 5:17; Colossians 1:9–10). It is expressed through:

• Pursuing God’s will
• Choosing wise relationships
• Guarding your speech
• Living with humility and teachability
• Preparing for the future
• Redeeming time
• Seeking counsel
• Stewarding resources well
• Doing the Word
• Winning souls

Most importantly, wisdom is not just a principle - it is a Person. 1 Corinthians 1:30 declares that Christ has been made unto us wisdom. In Him, we have access to divine wisdom and the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).

As you walk daily with God, His wisdom shapes your decisions, character, and destiny.

Listen, reflect, and continue to grow.

Episode Title: Auxano – Growing in Grace (Part 2)

In Part 2 of Auxano, Pastor Wisdom Elikem Sablah continues teaching on what it truly means to grow in grace. Growth is the evidence of life - and as believers, our most important growth is in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).

This session goes deeper into the “divine exchange” - what Jesus became so that we could become.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• He became sin so we could become the righteousness of God (2 Corinthians 5:21)
• He became a curse so we could inherit the blessing (Galatians 3:13–14)
• He became a servant so we could become sons of God (Galatians 4:4–7)
• He was rejected so we could be accepted (Ephesians 1:6)
• He was wounded so we could be healed (Isaiah 53:5)
• He became poor so we could become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9)
• He was condemned so we could live free from condemnation (Romans 8:1)
• He died so we could have eternal life (Hebrews 2:14–15)
• He defeated Satan so we could walk in victory (Colossians 2:14–15)

Pastor Wisdom emphasizes that grace must not be received in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1). These truths must be meditated on until they become your consciousness - your personal revelation and reality.

The episode concludes with powerful confessions to help you internalize your identity in Christ: righteous, accepted, healed, blessed, victorious, and empowered.

Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 2:1). Listen, meditate, confess - and grow.

In this powerful episode of Auxano, Pastor Wisdom unpacks the true meaning of “Auxano” — the Greek word for growth, increase, and continual augmentation. Drawing from Colossians 1:9–10 and 2 Peter 3:18, he teaches that the foundation of spiritual growth is growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ.

This message emphasizes that believers are no longer under the law but under grace. Through Christ’s finished work, we are forgiven, justified, made righteous, and given a new nature. Pastor Wisdom explains how understanding righteousness and grace transforms identity, destroys fear, breaks the power of sin and addiction, and builds unshakable confidence in God.

Key themes in this episode:

• What it truly means to grow spiritually
• The difference between law and grace
• Righteousness consciousness vs. sin consciousness
• Living boldly with access to God
• Enforcing Christ’s victory in daily life

This episode is both a teaching and a declaration — reminding every listener that in Christ, you are forgiven, victorious, and empowered to flourish in every area of life.

Pray. Learn. Grow.
