Faith Talks: Be the Coffee Bean

24 minutes

In this Faith Talks episode, Janna and Judson Shoultz explore what it means to be a “coffee bean” in a world full of pressure. Using a simple but powerful illustration, they challenge believers not to be shaped by their circumstances, but to transform them through the life of Christ within. Through biblical examples like Joseph and Joshua, this episode shows that the very pressures you face are the opportunities God uses to make you a difference-maker.

Topics Discussed

The coffee bean illustration and what it represents

How pressure reveals your true spiritual condition

Three responses to trials: weakening, hardening, or transforming

Depending on Christ to influence others

Key Takeaways

You are either shaped by your environment or used by God to shape it

Pressure is God’s tool to reveal and refine your faith

Your current situation is not a setback but a divine assignment

True influence comes from Christ working through you

Faith chooses to trust and act, even when it’s uncomfortable
