Stuck in a Promise: Getting Unstuck and Moving by Faith
Episode Overview
- Being stuck in God’s promise often comes from stagnation, unaddressed sin, or refusing to move after praying.
- Faith grows through hearing the Word of God regularly and treating Scripture as daily spiritual food.
- Giving God consistent time each day builds discipline and helps shift focus from entertainment to spiritual growth.
- Blessings are given to be passed on, so being willing to move and help others is part of receiving what God has promised.
- Imperfection does not disqualify anyone; God uses imperfect people who choose to trust Him and walk by faith.
“He heard you the first time. Now he just wants you to move so that he can go on and do it.”
Interested in the personal battles against addiction and spiritual stagnation? This message from **Resilient Truths** centres on being "stuck in a promise"—those moments when someone believes God has spoken over their life, yet nothing seems to move. Dr. Theresa M Bell speaks frankly to people of faith who feel stalled, weighed down by sin, comfort, or simple inertia.
She points out that many stay stuck because they’re not in alignment with God: ignoring Scripture, relying more on social media preachers than the Bible, or repeatedly asking God the same thing without taking action. As she puts it, "He heard you the first time. Now he just wants you to move so that he can go on and do it." Using her own experiences with housing struggles, financial pressure, and even the practical headache of moving house, Dr.
Bell shows how faith can operate in real time—praying as she works, seeing help arrive through unexpected people, and trusting God even when her "brook" dries up. She regularly reminds the audience that imperfection doesn’t disqualify anyone, citing Abraham and Paul as examples, and stresses that God often uses those who feel the least worthy.
You’ll hear strong encouragement to give God intentional daily time—"at least 30 minutes to an hour"—treat the Bible as spiritual food, and cultivate discipline so faith can grow. There’s a clear challenge to examine whether life is more centred on entertainment and fleshly comfort than on seeking God, and to recognise that blessings are meant to flow through people, not just to them.
For anyone in recovery who feels spiritually stuck, judged, or afraid that imperfection means God has given up on them, this episode offers a direct, sometimes raw reminder: get in the Word, shake off what’s holding you back, and start moving by faith. Are you ready to get unstuck and step into the promise that might already be under your feet?
