Stuck in a Promise: Faith, Discipline and Getting Unstuck

Episode Overview

Feeling stuck may mean there is sin, comfort or stagnation that needs to be shaken off before stepping into God’s promises.
Faith grows by hearing God’s word, so regularly reading the Bible and spending time with God is essential spiritual “food.”
Faith is described as discipline: what you feed most—spirit or flesh—is what your life will lean toward.
Movement is key; pray, trust that God heard you the first time, and then act instead of staying frozen in fear or doubt.
You don’t need to be perfect for God to use you; biblical examples show that flawed people can still walk in promise and bless others.

“Y'all are stuck in a promise. You're stuck in the position, the place that God wants you to be. It's just something's got to be shaken off.”

How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety and spiritual growth? "STUCK IN A PROMISE" follows Dr. Theresa M Bell as she talks honestly about what it feels like to be spiritually stalled, even when you believe God has promised you more. Speaking with the same raw honesty she uses as a pastor and case manager, Dr. Bell points out how easy it is to blame God while staying stuck in sin, comfort, or plain old inaction.

As she puts it, "Y'all are stuck in a promise. You're stuck in the position, the place that God wants you to be. It's just something's got to be shaken off." For anyone in recovery from alcohol or other addictions, that language of being "stuck" will probably sound very familiar.

You’ll hear her stress the basics: feeding your spirit through scripture, praying "as I'm walking, as I'm talking," and checking what you’re really listening to all day – is it God, or just YouTube, TV and PS5? She shares her own imperfect walk, from sleeping on the floor during a move to watching God send exactly the help she needed, reminding everyone that "faith requires discipline" and movement, not just words. Dr.

Bell also challenges the shame and perfectionism that can crush people in recovery. She reminds the audience that Abraham, Paul and the disciples were far from flawless, yet still used by God. The message is simple but stretching: you might already be standing in the middle of your promise and not recognise it because you’re too scared, too comfortable, or too distracted to move.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between what you believe God has said and what your life currently looks like, this talk offers a straight-talking, faith-filled nudge to pick up your Bible, check your habits, shake off what’s weighing you down, and take that next step. What’s one small move you could make today towards the life you keep praying for?
