What Hell Is In Your Boat

What Hell Is In Your Boat

What drives someone to seek a calmer, more grounded life when everything feels like chaos? This episode of Resilient Truths centres on Dr. Theresa M Bell as she unpacks the question, "What hell is in your boat?" using the story of Jonah and the mariners to talk about the storms that hit our lives. You'll hear how Jonah’s disobedience to God didn’t just affect him; it shook the mariners’ entire livelihood. Dr.

Bell draws a sharp parallel to modern life, where "a lot of the calamity that we go through is not because we brought it on ourself" but because we let the wrong people into our boat – into our finances, relationships, homes, and hearts. With a mix of straight talk and biblical teaching, she highlights how blame only makes the storm worse: "Blame ain't what stopped the storm.

Blame never stops the storm." Instead, she points to prayer, intercession, and paying attention to behaviour. Are the people in your life throwing things overboard, trying to make things right, or are they peacefully sleeping while chaos rages around you? Dr. Bell also touches on money trouble, late fees, shared bank accounts, and misplaced trust, all framed through a faith-based lens.

She reminds you to watch who you’re yoked with – not just in marriage, but in business and friendships – because being unequally matched can pull you into turmoil you never intended to face. The tone is warm but firm, aimed at anyone dealing with financial strain, relationship drama, spiritual struggle, or the fallout from someone else’s choices. It’s an honest call to look at your boat, your connections, and your own role in keeping the storm going.

The episode leaves you asking: is it time to stop pointing fingers and start praying for the people who rocked your boat?
