Episode 6 – Flop: When Your Body Shuts Down
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The flop response is the body’s way of conserving energy when stress feels overwhelming—collapsing, withdrawing, or going numb to survive. Early in Esther’s story, she hides her identity and avoids taking action, even when called to courage. We’ll look at how her hesitance mirrors our own moments of shutdown and how God meets us in stillness, giving us the strength to act when the time is right.
You’ll hear:
- How flop is a protective, not lazy, response
- Why shutdown often follows long-term fear or pressure
- How God can use even hesitant steps for His purposes
