Send us a text

Welcome to the Builder of All Things Podcast—where we go beyond the pages of the book and explore into the Author’s Cut! 🔥 Join Richie Breaux and Ray Bisnar as they break down each chapter in micro-episodes, giving you the behind-the-scenes insights, deeper wisdom, and real-life applications—just like a Director’s Cut for a book. 

In this episode, “His Presence Over Circumstance,” we dig into one of the most powerful truths when facing adversity: peace isn’t found in the absence of storms — it’s found in the presence of Jesus.

🛶 Whether you’re leading a business, guiding a family, or just trying to get through the day without breaking — this conversation reminds us that if the Builder of all things is in the boat with you, you’re not going down.

💡 In this episode, we unpack:
* Why peace isn’t about circumstances shifting, but about who’s with you in them
* How Jesus modeled calm in the chaos — sleeping on a cushion while the storm raged
* What it means to steward the moment with both childlike faith and adult responsibility
* Why your panic isn’t proof of failure — but an invitation to trust deeper
* How to stay anchored in God’s presence when life demands fast, high-pressure decisions

📖 “Be still.” — With three words, Jesus calmed the storm. But what He calmed first was the hearts of the disciples. This episode is a reminder that peace is possible even when the winds are loud and the waves are high.

🤍 If you’ve ever wondered how to stay grounded when life won’t slow down — this one’s for you. You don’t need perfect conditions to walk in peace. You just need to know who’s in the boat.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:18):
We didn't have the luxury to panic, and that's
regarding regarding one of thestories in in the book.
I don't know if you want totouch up on that, but the main
thing is that that's crazy,because sometimes people can
choose to panic, but because ofyour alertness to the situation,
we didn't have time.
To panic just means you got tomove quick, right, and this is

(00:39):
one of the aspects of respondingto a storm.
But can you elaborate on that?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Yeah.
So naturally you need to getyour physical body in a place of
peace.
And an absence of a storm, if Iwere to say anything, the
absence of a storm isn't whatcreates peace, it's Jesus'
presence, which I think thebuilder of all things presents.

(01:04):
So you're thinking, how's thateven practical?
Well, it's not the absence of astorm that creates peace, it's
the presence of the builder ofall things.
And so the storm a good examplein the Bible that's very
similar is there is discipleswith Jesus.
Jesus set the GPS, told them Iuse GPS, basically like the
coordinates, saying hey, we'regoing to go across this body of

(01:26):
water, let's get in the boat, wegot somewhere to be.
And if God sets the coordinatesin your life, it gives you
vision for your business.
You're riding with builder ofall things and you have them on
your boat, meaning in yourbusiness, and you're operating
with.
You know, understanding, he'sthe owner and you're steward.
That's why that part comesfirst.
You're stewarding and he's onthe boat with you.
If he's setting the coordinatesand you're on the stream, which

(01:47):
we've talked about, right, andyou're going down and there's a
storm, the way you react itshould be like the adult in
stewardship, but also like thekid in fate.
You see, jesus in this storywas.
He was asleep, I think it'sMark 4, 28.
I think it's Mark 4, 28.

(02:08):
I think he was asleep on acushion, on a pillow, relaxed.
And so the adult side of theseguys on the boat was the panic,
because there's a storm hittingman, there's waves hitting the
boats, getting shaken, they'relosing their sense of foundation
.
Jesus is there on the stern,that's their foundation.
But they're getting shakenright now to kind of see where
their faith is.
And so what do they do?

(02:28):
Is they wake him up, you know,and Jesus look and say ye, of
little faith.
And then he speaks, be still.
He speaks to the storm and itstops.
And then they recognize who heis.
Oh, he's the builder of allthings, like even the winds and
the waves.
Obey, and that's the story,right?
So when I say the absence of thestorm doesn't create peace, it
wasn't the idea of the stormgoing away that creates peace,

(02:50):
because then there will alwaysbe another storm.
So you can't rest in just justgetting through the storm alone.
So it's like like if you'rehomeless and you, you, you can
sit there and worry about am Igoing to eat tonight and then
you feel like peace doesn't comejust naturally, just from
getting food, because thentomorrow you might have to go
through the same struggle.
The peace comes knowing whereyou're getting the food from and

(03:13):
if it's consistent, like if youknow, like if you're getting oh
wait a minute, I have aconsistent source to get this
food.
Or maybe I got a job and now Ican have faith I'm constantly
going to get you know being ableto get these resources to have
a place to sleep and eat.
It's the same thing.
Where that's where the peacecomes is knowing that the
builder of all things was on theboat with you.
He's in the business with you,he's in the storm with you, and

(03:36):
when you have that understandingand that kind of faith, then
that produces the peace that I'mtalking about.
