Some seasons feel like someone turned the lights down and forgot to tell you where the switch is. In Part 2, we get practical about navigating dark patches—naming what’s real, noticing small signals of hope, and taking the next doable step (not all the steps). No clichés, no “just think positive.” Just a grounded conversation to help you breathe, re-orient, and keep moving.

No churchy jargon, no quick fixes—just a real conversation about carrying heavy things without being crushed by them.

We all hit walls in life—moments when faith, expectations, and our limits collide. A health diagnosis. A broken relationship. The loss of a job. The silence of unanswered prayers.
In Part 3 of Under the Surface, Chris Podlich looks at Abraham’s story in Genesis 22 and shows how the walls we face aren’t the end of our journey, but often the place where God does His deepest work.
