Ever feel like life just blindsides you—something you didn’t expect, didn’t plan for, and definitely didn’t ask for? Disruption can shake your peace, your confidence, and even your faith. But what if the very thing trying to derail you is the thing God wants to use to develop you?

In this message from our Disruption series, Pastor Bill teaches a powerful truth: there is no advancement without adversity. Using Scripture and relatable illustrations, he explains the difference between a season (something you can’t control) and a cycle (something you can change)—and why it matters to know which one you’re in. Then he shows how God uses disruption like metamorphosis: the struggle isn’t pointless, it’s part of the transformation. Just like a butterfly must fight its way out of the cocoon to gain strength, God often uses pressure to build strength, maturity, and purpose in us.

Pastor Bill also highlights the story of Benaiah (2 Samuel 23), a “country boy” who became one of King David’s mighty men—and eventually over the king’s guard—because of how he handled adversity. From battling lion-like warriors to stepping into a pit on a snowy day, Benaiah’s story proves that the moments that test you are often the moments that prepare you for what’s next. If you’re walking through disruption right now, this message will encourage you to trust that God is not wasting your struggle—He’s shaping you through it.
