Today we’re talking about that tension — when faith and popularity collide, and you have to decide whose voice you’re really following. So here’s the question: What does it look like to follow God when culture expects you to fit in?

Honesty in spiritual droughts.

Ever had one of those “this was NOT the plan” moments—when life flips your script and God seems to rewrite it without asking for your approval?

What if letting go isn’t the end of your plan, but the beginning of His purpose?

In this episode of the Champion Life podcast, host Michael Norwood and guests discuss the challenging questions surrounding faith, particularly the nature of God's goodness in the face of suffering and evil. They explore the concept of free will, the importance of asking questions in faith, and how God's sovereignty operates amidst the brokenness of the world. The conversation emphasizes the need to trust in God's character, even when answers are not clear, and encourages listeners to seek a deeper relationship with God through His Word and community.

Church hurt cuts deeper than we often admit. In this episode, we confront the reality of spiritual wounds—especially when they come through leadership or community—and explore how God’s will leads us toward healing, restoration, and hope.

 Pivoting from what they thought life would be.

Clarity, calling & confusion.

One final conversation. One powerful story. Don’t miss the season finale that wraps it all up with purpose and passion.
