EPISODE DESCRIPTION

In this raw and honest episode, Christine Jewell tackles the dangerous trap of staying stuck at spiritual thresholds when God is calling you into breakthrough territory. Speaking from personal experience of walking alongside Dr. Russ Irwin—a man who went from violent rage to radical redemption—Christine reveals why your brain actually fights against the very changes you desperately want—it's wired for familiar comfort over beneficial transformation. Drawing from recent conversations with clients who were feeling the holy agitation of transition but couldn't understand why change felt so difficult, Christine unpacks the subtle shift that happens when you cross spiritual thresholds (the Hebrew concepts of Matta and Pata) and provides a clear roadmap back to surrendered partnership with Heaven's blueprint. If you're feeling that stirring invitation to step into something new but don't know where you're going, or if you've had breakthrough moments that didn't stick when you returned to real life, this episode will help you understand the neuroscience behind lasting transformation and how to move from micro shifts to Kingdom reality.

This Episode Is for You If:

• You feel like you're stuck between two realities—knowing there's more but having no idea what's next
• The life you once lived no longer fits, but you can't see the full picture of where God is taking you
• You're carrying the weight of trying to create your own clarity instead of walking through doors step by faithful step
• You're working harder than ever but feel like your brain keeps pulling you back to old, familiar patterns
• You suspect that your gifts have taken you places your character wasn't ready to sustain
• You're ready to stop making God's blessings feel like burdens through your own self-generated strategies
• You need to understand why lasting change feels so energetically demanding and emotionally draining

KEY TAKEAWAYS

🔨 Your brain favors what's familiar more than the beneficial change you desire—this is why breakthrough feels so challenging 🌊 God keeps us on a need-to-know basis; if you don't know something, you probably don't need to know it yet 👂 True breakthrough comes from surrendering to Heaven's blueprint, not rolling up your sleeves with human strategy 💎 Thresholds require you to leave behind things that aren't bad—they just can't serve where you're going ⚡ Micro shifts create lasting neurological change better than expecting big bang breakthrough moments 🏗️ The wilderness isn't punishment—it's privacy, where God prepares your character to match your gifts

NOTABLE QUOTES

• "Our brain favors what's familiar more than it favors the benefit of the change we desire."
• "God is good and you are more than what you've become."
• "We go to headquarters to get our instructions."
• "When clarity increases, chaos and confusion usually decrease."
• "It's not a career, it's a calling, it's an assignment, it's something that burns within us."
• "There are certain things that we can't take with us when we cross over—this becomes very challenging because they're not bad things, they just can't serve where we're going."
