What If Your Greatest Purpose Comes Last?

What Comes Next?

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523783/fan_mail/new] What if the season that feels most uncertain is the one God is using to prepare you? When a chapter closes and you don't know what comes next, it's easy to feel stuck, forgotten, or unsure of your purpose. But throughout Scripture, some of God's greatest servants experienced long seasons of waiting before they stepped into what God had prepared for them. In this episode, we explore the stories of Joseph, Moses, David, and Jesus, and what they teach us about trusting God when life doesn't make sense. This conversation builds on last week's episode about value—where we explored what happens when we lose sight of our worth and rediscover that our value comes from God, not from what we do. This week, we ask the next question: What happens when you've accepted that truth, but you still don't know what comes next? If you're navigating loss, change, disappointment, or uncertainty, this episode is a reminder that God hasn't forgotten you, He isn't finished with you, and your waiting season is not wasted. 📖 Key Scriptures: Genesis 50:20, Psalm 27:14, Isaiah 40:31, Philippians 1:6 #ChristianPodcast #FaithInWaiting #TrustGod #ChristianEncouragement #Purpose Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross] ========================================= Support the show - simply follow the link below. https:/www.buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross [https:/www.buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross] ========================================= Like listening to us? - Why not watch us too https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuddyCrossPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuddyCrossPodcast] =========================================  Visit our website https://www.themuddycross.com [https://themuddycross.com] =========================================

When God Feels Distant

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2523783/fan_mail/new] After one of the hardest podcast recordings we’ve ever had… it’s finally here. This episode almost didn’t happen. Delays, broken microphones, rushing around, storage issues, low battery, switching cameras mid-recording, honestly, everything that could go wrong seemed to go wrong. But we kept pushing through because we truly believe this conversation needed to be shared. You could say the enemy didn’t want this episode out… but God had other plans. In Episode 46 of The Muddy Cross Podcast, we talk honestly about those seasons where God feels distant, when prayer feels harder, worship feels quiet, motivation disappears, and faith feels dry. If you’ve ever felt spiritually exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or wondered where God is in the silence, this conversation is for you. You are not failing. God has not left you. Sometimes He speaks loudest in the quiet. “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” — Hebrews 13:5 Support the show [https://buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross] ========================================= Support the show - simply follow the link below. https:/www.buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross [https:/www.buymeacoffee.com/themuddycross] ========================================= Like listening to us? - Why not watch us too https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuddyCrossPodcast [https://www.youtube.com/@TheMuddyCrossPodcast] =========================================  Visit our website https://www.themuddycross.com [https://themuddycross.com] =========================================
