Even when life feels unfinished or uncertain, God hasn’t stopped working. In this episode, discover how the Potter’s hands are still shaping your story for His glory.

Ever feel like your story’s stuck halfway through?

You started strong in faith, but now the middle feels messy, unfinished, unclear, or even painful. Philippians 1:6 reminds us that God never abandons His work. The Potter’s hands haven’t left the clay.

In today’s devotion, you’ll hear the story of Morteza “Calvin”, a Christian convert in Iran who was imprisoned for his faith. His life reminds us that even behind prison walls, God’s purposes keep unfolding. What God begins, He completes, patiently, perfectly, even when we can’t see it.

Main Scriptures:

Philippians 1:6 (NLT) – “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

Isaiah 64:8 (NLT) – “And yet, O LORD, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are the potter. We all are formed by your hand.”

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why God never leaves His work half-done
• How waiting seasons can still be working seasons
• What it means to trust the Potter’s process in your own life

Today’s Challenge:

Identify one area that feels unfinished, something you’ve prayed about but haven’t seen resolved. Instead of asking when, thank God that He’s still working. Write Philippians 1:6 somewhere you’ll see it this week as a daily reminder that His work in you is ongoing.
