🌬️ The Wind Blows | A Reflection on God's Movement and the Journey of Discovery
In this episode, we slow down to reflect on something we all feel but never see: the wind. From the breezy ridges of Makilo to the quiet moments of stillness in our lives, this conversation unpacks how the wind mirrors God’s mysterious and powerful presence.

We talk story about:
* The way the wind reveals God’s invisible yet undeniable movement
* Letting go of control and allowing life’s “wind” to guide your journey
* How moments of stillness and momentum both serve a purpose in the walk of faith
* That magical 1,000 ft elevation where a hill becomes a mountain—and what it taught us about our home and heart
* Why some of life’s best revelations don’t come from maps or plans, but from going with the flow

This isn’t just about nature—it’s about navigating your life with faith, freedom, and the willingness to be moved by something greater than yourself. If you’ve ever stood in the breeze and felt something deeper at work, this one’s for you.

the wind blows, just the wind in general, just like I was just this morning in the Makakilo mountain wind, feeling it and thinking about it, knowing I was coming in here today and just feeling you could feel it. You know you could see things move from it, but you can't see it right, unless it's mixed with, you know, smoke or sand or something you know to give it some substance, but you just don't. You don't see it and you don't know where it's coming from or where it's going. You know, and and it just reminds me a lot of how God's God is and how he operates, because we don't see him tangibly, like that of his entity, and we don't know what he's thinking sometimes and what he's going to do. And we were just talking about it this morning. We were like what is he going to do? And it's kind of like this journey of discovering of what he's doing.

Speaker 2: 1:16

And that's just what the wind is. It's got its origin and it comes across your path and and and then, if you join it, you can take it on. You know you can join that journey with the wind and a lot of times you know, as we do with the boat references being in a stream or anywhere. You know, even in the ocean, if you allow the sail and the wind to take you, you kind of can go on, uh, a really fun journey, uh, a journey of revelation, you know, as you go, like um, and being downloaded as you go. So this chapter uh, the wind blows is just about the sale of our journey and discovering it as you go, you know, looking back and seeing where you've come from as well, and so, yeah, that, yeah, that's the essence of the wind.

Speaker 1: 2:04

Yeah, visually, while you're talking about that, I'm just thinking about the stream and how that's the wind is such an interesting thing because there's nothing like it. Like you said, it's invisible, you don't see it, but there's a force that's moving you, or that you can allow it to move you or go with the flow and whatnot.

Speaker 2: 2:21

And thank God for the wind man, because sometimes it gets hot in makakilo and kapolei when you said parts of the island.

Speaker 1: 2:27

Man, that wind could come in clutch but when you said makakilo, I was like, yeah, it's usually. It should be cold up there, right it's yeah, it gets a good breeze.

Speaker 2: 2:34

Man it's um, yeah, when you think about the wind man it's like, can you imagine? Like I mean, there's some places on the planet that you probably feel like it feels the most stagnant. No wind, it's just like Lower levels.

Speaker 1: 2:48

Yeah, just for reference. Maquilu is kind of it's in Kapolei-ish, but you go up the hill For people that don't know.

Speaker 2: 2:55

Yeah, where our house is planted is exactly a thousand feet, is it feet, yeah, feet, above elevation of the ocean. So it's in a good like where a hill turns into a mountain. Me and my wife had this like kind of you know, sometimes we do this uh, resourceful journey of like where what's the difference between a hill and a mountain? It's it's a thousand feet. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a thousand feet elevation.

Speaker 1: 3:21

Everything else is a mountain before a hill becomes a mountain.

Speaker 2: 3:23

So we are so excited like to look up. Are we on the? Hill or the mountain side of this mountain. And so we were exactly at like 1,001. So we were like we're in there, but I think at the bottom of our driveway is like 998.

Speaker 1: 3:39

Yeah, so you're not, you're still in the hill.

Speaker 2: 3:45

So when I get in trouble she's like you, better go down on the hill. No, she's never said that. Maybe she will. We party on the mountain, but then we go rest on the hill. Bye.
