Resilient Truths

Dr. Bell discusses how faith is an important part in our walk with Christ. Without faith, we cannot please God. Without faith, we cannot have power in the spiritual ram. Therefore, we cannot manifest anything. We must believe God, and who he says he is.

Dunamis Faith: Living a Present-Tense Trust in Everyday Life

Episode Overview

Faith is described as present-tense and active; it should move a person to act, not leave them stuck or stagnant.
Dr. Bell uses her move from a house to a condo as an example of trusting God with housing, finances and timing.
Hebrews 11:1–7 is used to show that figures like Abel, Enoch and Noah expressed faith through concrete obedience, not mere ideas.
A participant’s story of returning to drinking and then reading "I've forgiven you, now forgive yourself" highlights the importance of self-forgiveness in spiritual growth.
The discussion stresses that Christian behaviour and character should reflect God clearly enough that others would want to know Him.

“You can't have yesterday's faith, and you can't have faith for tomorrow, because tomorrow ain't promised to you.”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? This instalment of **Resilient Truths** circles around that question by looking at one central theme: faith with power, or "dunamis" faith. Dr. Theresa M Bell, often referred to as Pastor Bell in the study, grounds the conversation in Hebrews 11:1–7 and keeps things practical rather than abstract.

She talks about downsizing from a three-bedroom house to a two-bedroom condo, juggling storages and bills, and trusting God without knowing exactly where she was heading. As she puts it, "You can't have yesterday's faith, and you can't have faith for tomorrow," stressing that faith has to be lived in the present moment.

The tone is relaxed and homely: there’s chat about rush hour traffic, raising adult children, and setting up a walk-in closet as a prayer "war room" or studio. Yet beneath the humour is a serious message for anyone in recovery or working through life changes.

Faith, she says, has to move you: if it doesn’t lead to action, "that ain't faith." This is echoed in her reflections on Abel, Enoch and Noah, using their stories as examples of active belief rather than passive hope.

One participant shares a candid moment of going back to drinking beer and feeling deep guilt, only to be met by a book on the coffee table that read, "I've forgiven you, now forgive yourself." Pastor Bell uses this to show how God can speak in everyday details and how shame is meant to be released, not carried.

For those dealing with substance abuse, housing insecurity or just feeling stuck, this episode highlights a faith that touches car repairs, rent money, relapse, and relationships. It’s aimed at people who want their spiritual life to make a difference in the practical, messy parts of recovery and service. If faith had to show up in your everyday choices this week, what would it look like?
