“Rub some dirt in it.” “Walk it off.” We’ve all heard those phrases — but what happens when that’s the advice we carry into our spiritual lives?
In this lighthearted yet powerful message, Pastor Joe Parker challenges the idea that healing and growth only come through toughness. Drawing from personal experience and biblical insight, Pastor Joe invites us to see that while God’s voice may not always sound how we expect, it always speaks to the heart.
This episode is a reminder that faith isn’t about pretending everything is okay — it’s about walking out the truth even when you’re limping. Through encouragement and grace, you’ll be reminded that you don’t have to walk alone, and you don’t have to fake your strength to keep going.
