DUNAMIS_OBEDIENCE: Staying in the Ship When Everything Says Jump

Episode Overview

Obedience to Christ is presented as the key to experiencing the power of the Holy Ghost, beyond simply living under grace.
God’s "good of the land" may show up as protection and preservation rather than material comfort or ease.
Reading scripture alone is described as empty without action: faith should lead to concrete change in behaviour and choices.
Serving employers "as unto the Lord" is important, but leaders are also called to treat workers fairly, trusting that God defends the mistreated.
Staying in a difficult season can be an act of obedience, while remaining open to practical steps like new work opportunities or side income.

“"Obedience is what makes you in. That's your heart."”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety and beyond when life is falling apart financially, physically and emotionally? This episode of *Resilient Truths* follows Dr. Theresa M Bell as she talks frankly about staying obedient to the Holy Spirit while juggling overdue car taxes, repeated police stops, health scares and the pressure of supporting clients and family.

You’ll hear her unpack what she calls *dunamis* – the power of the Holy Ghost – and why, in her words, "you can't have the power of the holy ghost if you're not being obedient to christ." She contrasts God’s permissive will (grace and mercy when we keep messing up) with His perfect will, the life He actually created someone to live.

For her, that means staying in a difficult "ship" God hasn’t released her from yet, even though every instinct says jump. Dr. Bell roots the conversation in scripture, moving through Isaiah 1:19, Matthew 7, Luke 6, John 14, Romans 6, 2 Corinthians 2, Ephesians 6 and James 1–2.

She links each passage to real-life issues: burnout at work, unfair employers, raising children as a single mum, rising blood sugar and worsening eye problems, all while trying to remain faithful and serve others in human services and recovery settings. Her honesty stands out. She admits feeling "tired of this ship rocking" and wondering if she’s "wasting" time, yet keeps circling back to the belief that obedience shows in actions, not talk: "Be doers of the word.

Don't just hear it." Those who are wrestling with God’s timing, struggling with money while doing helping work, or trying to stay sober and spiritually grounded in chaos may recognise themselves in her story. If your own "ship" feels like it’s breaking apart, this episode might leave you asking: what does obedience look like for you today, right where you are?
