A few months ago I felt like there was a giant wall in front of me every time I tried to edit a podcast. Here I tell the story of my wrestle with God to try to figure out what He was trying to tell me and teach me.

Episode Discussion Points

I share some journal entries from October 2022 about how I literally felt sick and ill every time I needed to record or edit a podcast.
Brainstorming how to deal with podcasting burnout, including reaching out to fellow podcasting friends.
Reading the story of Balaam in Numbers 22 about his progress being stopped by an angel that his donkey saw.
Balaam said, “All that the Lord speaketh, that I must do.” (Numbers 23:26)
At some points in my life I had felt like my blocks have been my own fears, but I didn’t feel that was true this time. I felt like I, like Jacob of old, had been wrestling with an angel.
I was finally guided to ask the right question, “What is keeping me from progressing?” And God’s answer to me, and how it impacts this podcast.
“Focus on the peace,” when an answer is hard.

Invitation

If you are struggling with your progress being stopped, take it to God. You may need to wrestle with Him a bit for an answer, find some quiet time to read your scriptures, ponder and pray.

Specifically ask God this question, “What is keeping me from progressing?” And then listen.
Ask God to help you see and be able to act on the right answer.
Then move forward with faith and trust in God and the path He points you toward.
