In this storm-shaking episode of Journey with Jesus, Pastor Steven Furtick delivers a raw, faith-igniting sermon on the divine purpose hidden inside every storm you face. Drawing from his signature preaching at Elevation Church and teachings on trusting God in chaos, Pastor Steven reminds us that no storm is random, no wave is wasted, and no wind is blowing without permission from the One who walks on water. He declares that the very storm you’re begging God to stop may be the same storm He is using to stop something in you—fear, pride, complacency, self-reliance, or a version of you that could never carry the weight of the calling He’s prepared. There is a reason you’re facing this storm: Jesus is shaping you for something bigger than the storm itself.

There is a reason you’re facing this storm because God doesn’t waste pressure—He uses it to produce perseverance, character, and hope (Rom 5:3-5). Pastor Steven unpacks how the disciples’ boat was shaken by the wind and waves not to destroy them but to position them to see Jesus walking toward them on the water. The storm wasn’t the enemy; it was the stage for the miracle. With his high-energy delivery, honest vulnerability, and biblical fire, he shares how to stand in your storm: fix your eyes on Jesus instead of the size of the waves, worship when you want to worry, speak to the storm with the authority Jesus gave you, and remember that the same Jesus who said “Peace, be still” to the sea is speaking peace to your soul right now. This episode is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, confused, or ready to jump ship—Pastor Steven’s word is clear: the storm isn’t bigger than your Savior, and the reason you’re in it is because God is up to something massive in you.

There is a reason you’re facing this storm—Jesus is with you, and He’s making you stronger.

Tune in to Pastor Steven Furtick’s thunderous encouragement and be reminded that your storm has an expiration date, but the strength God is building in you is eternal. This episode is a battle cry to stop asking “Why me?” and start declaring “What now, Jesus?”—because the reason for the storm is always the same: God is making you into the person who can carry the promise He gave you. Press play and let your spirit rise above the waves by the truth that with Jesus in your boat, no storm can sink you.

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.” — Isaiah 43:2 (NIV)
