Have you ever felt that nagging resistance when you know God wants you to do something, but you just... don't want to? That uncomfortable space between divine prompting and human reluctance is where Morgan and Joel take us in this profound exploration of spiritual growth.
Through the biblical story of Jacob wrestling with God, they reveal how our greatest blessings often lie on the other side of our deepest resistance. Jacob's struggle left him with both a physical wound and a new identity—Israel, meaning "let God prevail." Similarly, our own wrestling with God's will can transform us when we finally surrender.
The magic truly is in what we're avoiding. Whether it's a simple spiritual practice we're putting off or a major life change we're resisting, that obstacle isn't just blocking our path—it is the path. As Romans teaches, tribulation produces patience, experience, and ultimately hope that doesn't disappoint.
What makes this conversation so powerful is its raw honesty. Morgan and Joel don't preach from perfection but share their own ongoing struggles with spiritual resistance. Their candid admissions—from avoiding scripture study to postponing repentance—create a space where listeners can recognize their own patterns of avoidance.
Through scriptures in Alma, Doctrine and Covenants, and Romans, they offer practical wisdom for moving from passive resistance to active engagement with God's will. Even cultivating "a particle of faith"—just wanting to want to follow God—can begin the transformation.
