There was a season in my life where everything I thought I was building collapsed.
I lost three jobs in less than a year, my confidence, my stability—and even my faith. It felt like God was punishing me, but what I later realized is this: God wasn’t punishing me. He was positioning me.
In this video, I’m sharing my personal story of how I learned to keep my faith when everything seemed to be falling apart. If you’re in a difficult season—whether it’s your job, health, relationships, or finances—I want you to know this: you are not being abandoned. You are being developed.
You’ll learn:
✅ How losing my job became the **best thing that ever happened to me**
✅ Why faith grows in the wilderness, not in comfort
✅ 3 practical steps you can take to keep your faith strong when life gets hard:
- Anchor your days in prayer and meditation
- Reframe pain as preparation
- Take the step that’s in front of you
If you feel like quitting right now, remember: **God did not put you here to destroy you. He put you here to develop you.**
