In this powerful and personal episode, Cody Cottle shares a message that will hit home for every Christian entrepreneur who has ever faced a season of uncertainty, transition, or spiritual struggle.
We often talk about surrendering to God, but what about the moments where God invites us into a wrestle — not to push us away, but to draw us deeper? Cody unpacks the story of Jacob wrestling with God (Genesis 32) and how that all-night struggle resulted not only in a blessing but a name change and new identity.
Cody also opens up about his and his wife Esther’s personal journey—obediently closing down successful businesses, stepping into the unknown, and holding onto God’s promises through it all. From financial setbacks to searching for a home in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S., this is a raw, faith-filled story of persistence, obedience, and breakthrough.
“Some blessings only come on the other side of a wrestle… and God wants to see if you’ll hold on.”
Whether you’re in a tough season in your business, waiting on a breakthrough in your life, or needing a reminder to keep seeking, this episode will stir your spirit and give you practical encouragement rooted in Scripture.
