Holy Interruptions: When God Ruins Your Plans

Send us Fan Mail

Have you ever had a perfectly good plan… and then God lovingly set it on fire?

In this episode of Divine Shenanigans, we’re talking about holy interruptions — the unexpected detours, closed doors, delays, and reroutes that feel frustrating in the moment but later reveal God’s protection, preparation, and deeper purpose.

Because let’s be honest:
 We love God’s will… as long as it matches our calendar.

But what happens when:

• The relationship ends
• The opportunity falls through
• The timing stretches longer than expected
• The direction changes completely

Is it punishment?
 Did we miss something?
 Or is God establishing steps we can’t see yet?

In this sermon-style episode, Brynn unpacks:

✨ Why we hate interruptions (and what they reveal about control)
 ✨ Proverbs 16:9 and how God establishes our steps
 ✨ Personal stories of plans that fell apart — and why that turned out to be mercy
 ✨ Biblical examples of holy detours (Joseph, Moses, Jonah, Paul — and even Jesus)
 ✨ Practical ways to live faithfully inside uncertainty
 ✨ How to grieve a cancelled plan without losing trust in God
 ✨ Why the haze doesn’t mean you’re alone

This week’s Song of the Week is “Held In The Haze” by Brynn Elise — a reminder that even when clarity is missing, God’s presence isn’t.

If you’re in a season where your life looks nothing like you planned, this episode is for you.
