Have you ever felt too tired to keep going—but too afraid to stop trying?
In this episode, Aurie Riley shares a breathtaking true story about a broken-winged butterfly that refused to give up. What begins as a quiet moment on her afternoon walk turns into a vivid metaphor for how God meets us in our weakness and carries us beyond the walls we can’t climb on our own.
Through this simple yet profound story, Aurie explores what it means to stop striving, trust God’s timing, and let His wind lift you when your strength is gone. You’ll walk away reminded that even in your brokenness, God’s grace is strong enough to carry you higher than your own wings ever could.
✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why God sometimes allows seasons of struggle before breakthrough
• How to recognize the difference between striving and surrender
• What the “wind of the Spirit” looks like in your everyday life
• A powerful truth about redemption and resting in His strength
If you’ve been trying to hold it all together, this story will help you exhale, release control, and remember: you too can soar with a broken wing when you are carried by your Creator.
