🔥 Episode Summary:

Many of us have learned how to survive. But few of us have been taught how to thrive. In this episode, Todd Tononi walks you through the signs that God is calling you deeper — out of survival mode and into sustainable strength, clarity, and overflow.

From practical rhythms to powerful scripture, you’ll be challenged to release your grip on the shallow waters of familiarity… and move in faith into the depth of your true design.

This is your spiritual permission slip to stop treading water… and start living on purpose.

📖 Featured Scriptures:

• Psalm 18:19 (NIV)
• “He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.”
• → God didn’t rescue you to make you small. He delights in you. He makes room for your expansion.
• Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV)
• “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
• → Deep living requires letting go of needing all the answers. Trust is the path-maker.
• 2 Timothy 1:7 (ESV)
• “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
• → Your spiritual wiring is for courage, compassion, and clarity — not confusion and timidity.
• Isaiah 43:19 (NIV)
• “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
• → God is not recycling the past. He is creating something new, even where you thought life was barren.
