In this powerful episode, Chuck Halford dives into the feeling of being stuck — in life, in faith, or in circumstances beyond our control. He unpacks how difficult and disorienting these seasons can be, but reminds us that through the Lord's wisdom and guidance, we don’t have to stay there. Drawing from Romans 12:1–2, Chuck challenges us to reject the patterns of this world and renew our minds through biblical thinking — because true transformation doesn’t come from culture, but from Christ.

When life feels stuck, God is still at work. As Psalm 40:2 says, “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.”

Tune in and be encouraged to lean on the Lord, renew your mind, and keep moving forward in faith.

Drawing from Scripture, Chuck reminds us to “set your minds on things above, not on earthly things” (Colossians 3:2), and to “pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you—and still more will be added to you” (Mark 4:24). This episode calls us to slow down, tune in, and pay attention to the One who is always present and guiding us.
