When sudden storms show up in life—health scares, betrayal, loss, or unexpected pain—how do we keep our peace long enough for Jesus to show up? In this short message Bishop Gallardo walks through Matthew 8:23–26, showing that Jesus is already in the boat before the storm, and teaching practical spiritual tools for the in-between: pause, ponder, proceed; don’t make permanent choices during passing emotions; and steward your feelings so they don’t disqualify your future. Using the chrysalis metaphor, we learn how the hard places can produce transformation instead of destruction.

Watch, reflect, and share: How will you steward your emotions through today’s storm?
