In this episode, Mike shares what it truly means to move beyond just surviving life’s most difficult seasons.

There are moments when survival feels like enough when simply getting through the day is the victory. But what happens when God calls us deeper than endurance? What happens when pain becomes the place of formation rather than defeat?

Mike opens up about walking through heavy seasons - seasons marked by pressure, uncertainty, and internal battles — and how God didn’t necessarily remove the difficulty, but sustained him through it. This conversation explores the difference between coping and growing, between holding on and being transformed.

We talk about:

• What survival mode really looks like
• How God meets us in difficult seasons
• The quiet ways God sustains us when we feel weak
• Moving from endurance to purpose
• What it means to trust God when clarity doesn’t come immediately

This episode is not about quick fixes or surface-level encouragement. It’s about depth. It’s about faith that remains when feelings fluctuate. It’s about discovering that difficult seasons are not wasted seasons.

If you’re walking through something heavy right now, this conversation is a reminder that survival is not the end of your story. With God, there is always something beyond it - growth, refinement, clarity, and deeper intimacy.
