Stop Judging. Start Meeting People Where They’re At
<p><strong>Most people say they love others. But they're actually loving a version of people that doesn't exist yet.</strong></p><p>This episode hit different.</p><p>Rick just got promoted at Amazon — and instead of celebrating, he's exposing the leadership trap that most people never escape: <strong>confusing control with influence.</strong> Meanwhile, Amanda gets brutally honest about what it feels like to want your spouse to be spiritually "further along" — and what God wrecked in her because of it.</p><p>This isn't a feel-good episode. It's a mirror.</p><p><strong>Meeting people where they are</strong> — not where you want them, not where you need them, not where you prayed they'd be — is the most counter-cultural thing a Christian, leader, spouse, or parent can do. And almost nobody's doing it.</p><p><strong>In this episode:</strong>⚡ Why "servant leadership" is not the soft option — it's the hardest one⚡ The brutal difference between grace and enablement (this one stings)⚡ Why you literally cannot serve two masters — and what that means for ego⚡ How to call people HIGHER without condemning them⚡ Parenting without pride (Rick and Amanda get real)⚡ How to guard your heart without hardening it⚡ The spiritual impatience nobody talks about in marriage</p><p>Jesus never watered down truth. But He never demanded people come to Him first.</p><p><strong>If you're frustrated with your spouse, burned out on church, struggling to lead at work, or exhausted by your own kids — this episode was built for you.</strong></p><p>Hit play. Let it wreck you a little.</p><p>🎙️ Faith & Figs — Real conversations about marriage, parenting, leadership, and faith. Everything in life, turned back to Christ.</p><p><strong>Subscribe.

The Thorn in Your Flesh Is Not an Accident
<p>You are not broken.<br>You are being refined.</p><p>In this episode of Faith & Figs, we talk about the thorn in your flesh and why it is not random, not pointless, and not a mistake.</p><p>God allows certain struggles to remain.<br>Not to harm you.<br>To humble you.<br>To grow you.<br>To draw you closer to Him.</p><p>We unpack how pain produces humility, why weakness creates dependence on God, and how suffering becomes a tool for spiritual maturity. We share personal stories of loss, fear, pride, and starting over. We talk about careers stripped away, comfort removed, and control surrendered. We explain how God uses discomfort to correct us, realign us, and prepare us to bear fruit.</p><p>This episode is for you if you feel stuck, humbled, frustrated, or confused about why God has not removed something you have prayed about.</p><p>We discuss:</p><ul><li><p>What the thorn in your flesh really means</p></li><li><p>Why God sometimes says no or wait</p></li><li><p>How suffering produces humility and growth</p></li><li><p>Why self reliance blocks spiritual fruit</p></li><li><p>Grace, faith, and why salvation is not earned</p></li><li><p>Why investing in your soul matters more than success</p></li><li><p>How weakness reveals God’s power</p></li></ul><p>Scripture referenced includes Romans 8:28, Hebrews 12, and Paul’s teaching on grace and weakness.</p><p>If you are in a season where life feels heavy, this conversation will remind you that God is still working. The thorn is not punishment. It is purpose.</p><p>Listen with an open heart.<br>Reflect honestly.<br>Return to God.</p><p>We love you.<br>God loves you more.</p>
