From Engineer to Pastor: Andrew’s Wild Journey

You won’t believe Andrew Farhat’s story—he went from electrical engineering to leading a Denver church! After a wild college phase and some life-changing close calls, he found faith, ditched the engineering gig, and now runs St. John’s Church, helping thousands find purpose. His journey is all about second chances, family, and making faith practical. If you’ve ever wondered if people really change, this one’s proof! #Religion #FaithJourney #Transformation

I almost skipped Genesis 21. I thought the waiting was finally over.

Genesis 21 feels like relief. Isaac is born. The promise arrives. The long wait ends. I almost relaxed. Then verse 6 caught me. Sarah laughs—but not like before. This time, it’s mixed with disbelief and scars. The promise came. But the years of waiting didn’t disappear. This chapter reminded me that answered prayers don’t erase old pain. And that doesn’t make faith weak. It makes it honest. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Genesis #Waiting #FaithJourney #Grace

I almost skipped Luke 1. I didn’t expect doubt to be included.

Luke 1 is full of miracles. Angels. Promises. Joy. But verse 20 surprised me. Zechariah doubts—and is silenced. God doesn’t remove him. God doesn’t cancel the promise. This chapter reminded me that doubt doesn’t automatically disqualify faith. God can work even while we’re unsure. Silence isn’t rejection. Sometimes it’s protection. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Luke #Doubt #Grace #FaithJourney

When Faith Feels Empty, Not Wrong

Emptiness frightens believers more than doubt. Because doubt asks questions. Emptiness feels like nothing is there. But Scripture uses tohu—formless, unfilled, not evil. It describes the earth before creation, not after sin. Emptiness in the Bible is often a stage. Not a failure. If your faith feels quiet, thin, or stripped down, you may not be losing faith. You may be standing at the edge of something new. God works in empty spaces too. #SpiritualEmptiness #HebrewWord #ChristianDepth #FaithJourney #BibleTruth

I skipped Psalm 62. I didn’t think waiting mattered this much.

Psalm 62 is repetitive. Waiting. Trusting. Silence. It felt passive. Then verse 5 pressed in: “For God alone, my soul waits in silence.” Waiting here isn’t weakness. It’s restraint. This chapter reminded me that not reacting can be an act of faith. Silence can be obedience. Sometimes strength looks like staying still. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Psalms #Waiting #Trust #FaithJourney

To anyone who feels spiritually behind others their age

Some people seem so certain. So peaceful. So settled. Meanwhile, I still wrestle. Still question. Still feel unfinished. That’s why Peter encourages me. Even late in life, he admits he needs reminders. In his letters, he doesn’t present himself as “arrived.” He presents himself as still learning how to stand firm. The Bible never suggests spiritual maturity means emotional simplicity. If you feel behind, Scripture gently says this: growing older doesn’t mean growing done. Faith can stay complex—and still be real. #SpiritualGrowth #Peter #FaithJourney #ChristianMaturity #HonestBelief

God’s Got Bigger Plans Than Your Past

Ever look back and realize things worked out way better than you could’ve planned? That’s not luck—it’s God working behind the scenes. The wild part? The future He’s prepping for you isn’t just a rerun of what you’ve already lived. It’s bigger, richer, and full of purpose. When you focus on His goodness instead of your worries, peace and hope start to grow. Trust that what’s coming is way better than what’s behind you! #Religion #FaithJourney #TrustGod

I almost skipped 1 Kings 19. I thought Elijah was strong enough.

1 Kings 19 comes after victory. Fire from heaven. Public triumph. I didn’t expect collapse next. Then verse 4 broke the image. Elijah asks to die. Exhaustion doesn’t cancel calling. Burnout doesn’t mean failure. This chapter reminded me that even strong faith gets tired. And God doesn’t shame weakness. He feeds it. He lets it rest. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Kings #Burnout #GodsCare #FaithJourney

I almost skipped Genesis 47. I didn’t expect God to show up in survival mode.

Genesis 47 feels economic. Food shortages. Land exchanges. People just trying to survive. It didn’t feel spiritual. Then verse 25 caught me. After everything is taken, the people say, “You have saved our lives.” Not a miracle story. Not a dramatic rescue. Just provision that keeps people going. This chapter reminded me that God doesn’t only work in breakthroughs. Sometimes He works in survival. And staying alive is not a lack of faith. It’s grace, quietly doing its job. #BibleStudy #TheVerseYouSkipped #Genesis #GodsProvision #Grace #FaithJourney
