đ§ Episode Summary â Episode 3: When Strength Comes Slowly
In this final episode of the Strength for the Journey series, Danny brings encouragement for those who are faithfully walking through life but feel like strength isnât coming as fast as they hoped. Using Isaiah 40:31 and Psalm 27:14 as anchors, Danny teaches that not all strength comes in soaring or sprintingâsometimes, strength is shown in the simple act of continuing to walk.
With real stories, honest encouragement, and powerful truth, this episode reminds us that slow strength is still strength, and God often does His greatest work in the waiting. Even when the breakthrough feels delayed, God is present, shaping our character and deepening our trust. If you're in a season of spiritual fatigue, this episode will help you stand firm, keep moving, and trust that God is not done writing your story.
