Christine Caine's Life & Leadership Podcast with Propel Women

Ep 91 with Katia Adams: Faith Over Formula: When Obedience Feels Irrational


Listen Later

Sometimes God’s direction doesn’t make sense—until it does. In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with pastor and church planter Katia Adams to talk about how obedience can lead to multiplication, even when it feels like loss. From Boston to Cape Town, Katia shares how God uprooted her plans, expanded her influence, and met her family’s every need along the way. This is a conversation for every leader learning to yield, trust, and follow God through transition and uncertainty.

 

SHOW NOTES:

When God Changes the Plan

Katia shares her unexpected journey of leaving Boston for Cape Town—not by choice, but by Divine redirection. What looked like a visa issue became an invitation to multiplication.

 

Faith Over Formula

When God is silent, faith grows. Katia and Christine unpack how God sometimes withholds clarity to deepen trust, and how the “yielded yes” is the seed of every new beginning.

 

Provision in the Details

From finances to tutors to schools, Katia reveals how God’s faithfulness met her family in every practical need, reminding us that when God authors the story, He funds the mission.

 

The Legacy of Revival

Katia’s family history in Iran tells a miraculous story of revival—how her grandfather’s hunger for Scripture sparked a movement that continues to this day.

 

Spirit and Truth in Every City

From Boston’s intellectual culture to Cape Town’s spiritual hunger, Katia describes why the Gospel needs both deep theology and the power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Leading Without Entitlement

Katia and Christine discuss the tension between calling and career—why obedience will always look foolish to the world, and why faithfulness matters more than fame.
