What if the gap between what you know and what you practice is the fault line under your life? We open the year by slowing down and asking a hard question most of us avoid: what is your life really built on when the wind rises and the rain won’t quit? Drawing from Matthew 7:24–27, we walk through Jesus’ blunt warning that both the wise and the foolish hear, both build, and both face storms—but only one anchors obedience to the rock of Christ.
We get honest about modern faith habits that look sturdy but crumble under pressure: bingeing sermons, reposting devotionals, and quoting verses without turning them into lived patterns. Together we name what obedience actually looks like in the wild: forgiving while it still hurts, staying faithful when quitting seems smart, telling the truth when a lie would solve the moment, and submitting your plan when pride is steering. We also tackle correction, surrender, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes God strips what we built so He can rebuild what will last.
If storms are guaranteed, then clarity is freedom. We offer a simple self-exam to find cracks you’ve ignored, rushed projects disguised as progress, and delayed steps you know you need to take. This isn’t condemnation; it’s construction. The hope is fierce and practical: when your foundation is Christ, you stand—not because you’re tough, but because He is. Listen for a calm, clear reset of what it means to build on the rock, and leave with one concrete act of obedience to set in place today.
If this speaks to you, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s rebuilding, and leave a review to help others find a steadier foundation.
