Rescue, Refine, Rejoice – Letting God Do the Heavy Lifting

In this soul-stirring episode of Crazy Unbelievable Faith, Brian and Kersha Owen unpack what they call “The 3 R’s”: Rescue, Refine, and Rejoice. With humor, honesty, and biblical truth, they walk through how each of these spiritual stages shows up in our lives—and what it really means to trust God through all of them

This isn’t surface-level encouragement. It’s raw, real faith forged in pressure, time, and fire. Whether you’re feeling stuck in a life raft moment, sitting in the slow burn of refining, or finally stepping into your breakthrough—this episode will help you locate where you are on the journey and remind you of who’s walking with you.

🔥 What You’ll Learn:

• Why waiting on God isn’t passive—and how to avoid “information constipation” while hoping for rescue.
• What the Bible teaches about the refiner’s fire (Malachi 3:3) and how God shapes us until He sees His reflection in us.
• How to pray for patience—and what actually happens when you do (spoiler: brace yourself).
• The importance of humility in your success and the discipline of giving God the credit.
• How true growth often comes after we stop trying to skip the process and start embracing it.

💬 Memorable Quotes:

• “God can rescue you—but sometimes He sits with you in the raft to refine you.”
• “If you’re just revving your engine in neutral, God can’t steer that car.”
• “You don’t go through it—you grow through it.”
• “There’s no testimony without the test. There’s no success without the suck.”
• “God is not just interested in your rescue—He’s interested in your reflection.”

🛑 Reflect + Apply: Questions to Ask Yourself

• Are you waiting for a helicopter rescue when God is already sitting in the raft with you?
• What areas of your life feel like they’re under pressure or heat right now? What might God be refining?
• Have you taken credit for something you once prayed for?
• If patience were your word this year, how are you letting God grow it in you—rather than trying to rush through?
• What would change if you believed that God was holding your hand through all of it—not just the breakthroughs?

📖 Scripture Focus:

Malachi 3:3 — “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver…”
