God is Doing Something New

What if the very way you’ve been thinking is the thing keeping you stuck?

In this final episode of Week 5 in the Untangle series, we confront one of the most subtle barriers to experiencing real, lasting transformation: self-preservation. Drawing inspiration from a thought-provoking quote often attributed to Albert Einstein, this episode explores the idea that we cannot solve our problems—or step into new life—using the same mindset that created them.

Anchored in Isaiah 43:18–19, we unpack God’s powerful promise: “I am doing a new thing… I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Throughout Scripture, gardens represent blessing, while wilderness represents dryness, testing, and even judgment. And yet, God declares that He brings life precisely in those barren places.

So why do we so often miss it?

This episode challenges us with a critical question: Are we truly ready to perceive the new thing God is doing—or are we clinging to old patterns, expectations, and demands that keep us stuck in the wilderness?

You’ll be guided through:

•  Why old patterns of self-preservation can’t produce resurrection life 
•  How your current struggles may be tied to past ways of thinking 
•  The importance of belief in recognizing God at work 
•  What it means to release your demands and surrender control 
•  A practical “Untangle Moment” to help you identify, surrender, and step into something new 

If you’ve been feeling stuck in a dry season—relationally, spiritually, or emotionally—this episode is an invitation to let go of what was and open your eyes to what God is doing right now.

It’s time to trade the wilderness for the river.
