The most dangerous rut is the one you don’t even know you’re in. Life looks “fine,” but you feel stuck, uninspired, and disconnected from the fire you once had. In this episode, Lance and Steve pull back the curtain on what a rut really is—and how the quiet rhythms of comfort, busyness, and distraction can silently drain your purpose.
Steve shares the story of getting fired, feeling paralyzed, and being too afraid to step into what God had already shown him. He opens up about the fear of speaking, writing speeches he didn’t feel worthy to deliver, and how he still knew deep down—God called him to it.
We talk about how to recognize the rut, shift your focus (Philippians 4:8), and apply the PPR framework: Pause. Pray. Respond. You’ll learn the power of fasting to silence the flesh, and how eliminating hurry helps you hear God more clearly.
If you've been feeling off, uncertain, or like you were made for more but can’t seem to move — this one’s for you.
Listen now — before the rut becomes your routine.
