“The reason this podcast is now called Awake comes straight from Scripture—‘Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ This is a call to wake up spiritually, to move past comfort, past tradition, and into a faith that transforms lives. If you’re tired of surface-level Christianity, you’re in the right place.
Faith was never meant to be lived asleep. This is a wake-up call—to truth, to love, to real discipleship. If you’re ready to open your eyes and walk it out, welcome to Awake.”

He is Still Faithful

One of the first sayings I heard when I became a Christian was that God is faithful. We sang about the faithfulness of God. Whenever someone would endure a trial, we’d remind them that God is faithful. Faithfulness is a characteristic of God that is often talked about, but I wonder if it’s completely understood. Because we are always communicating about God’s faithfulness in the affirmative—God is faithful—I thought it would be helpful to examine faithfulness from a different perspective: what God’s faithfulness doesn’t mean.
Faithfulness doesn’t mean that God will answer every prayer the way you pray. When things are going well and it seems we are getting what we desire (perhaps through answered prayers), we may be quick to acknowledge God’s goodness and faithfulness. But the real challenge to our belief in God’s faithfulness is when we continue to experience unanswered prayers and when the trials of life begin to squeeze us like a lemon in a juicer. It’s hard, it’s sour, it doesn’t feel right. Can we still say and believe that God is faithful during those seasons?
