094 | In the Margins: When God Says "Go" and the Enemy Says "Stop"

What do you do when God clearly calls you to something — and then everything in your path seems determined to keep you from it? Welcome to In the Margins — a brand-new series here on God's Power Stories, and one of the most personal things I've ever shared with you.   My husband John and I have just returned from a trip to Turkey and Greece — a journey following in the footsteps of the Apostle Paul and the early church alongside Jonathan Cahn and believers from around the world. It was, in every sense of the word, a trip of a lifetime. But the story I need to tell you first isn't about the ancient ruins or the sacred sites or the moments that left us breathless.   It's about what happened before we ever got on that plane.   On November 11, 2025, John fell from the back of his truck while working alone on our hundred-acre hunting property. He broke his tibia and his fibula — a clean break through both lower leg bones, requiring emergency surgery and a titanium rod driven from his knee to his ankle. He was alone. His phone was in the cab. It was below freezing. He passed out multiple times just trying to crawl far enough to call for help. He made it. It was a miracle. And then came the months of recovery — the physical therapy, the pain that wouldn't quit, the follow-up visits where every X-ray said remarkable but the knee still ached. All of it unfolding against a ticking clock: we had a deposit on a trip to Turkey and Greece. In six months.   In this episode, John and I sit down to talk honestly about those months — his quiet resistance to Jonathan Cahn's style of teaching, the way he never once took the out I kept offering him, the two additional falls during recovery, and the slow, quiet way God used our love for each other to keep saying yes when everything else seemed to be saying stop. We also talk about what Jonathan Cahn repeated again and again throughout the trip — a phrase that landed differently in John's heart every single time he heard it: You are right where you are supposed to be.   This is just the beginning. There is so much more to share about what God was doing in the margins of every scheduled moment on that trip. But first — we had to get there. 🔑 Key Takeaways The Enemy Knows What's Coming — And He'll Do Anything to Keep You From It. The barriers that nearly kept us from this trip weren't random. And recognizing spiritual opposition is the first step to refusing to let it win. Honoring Your Spouse Can Be an Act of Obedience to God. John didn't go on this trip because he was excited. He went because it mattered to me. And God used that love to move him — and both of us — forward. God Is Still In the Business of Miracles. Crawling to a truck cab, alone, below freezing, twice knocked unconscious — and making it out. There's no other explanation. You Don't Need a PowerPoint Presentation — You Need Proverbs 3:5-6. God rarely lays out the ten-step plan. He paints the vision and says trust me. Lean not on your own understanding. He will make the path straight. "I'm Not Important Enough for God to Bother With" Is a Lie. John has wrestled with this his whole life. The injury, the trip, and the words of Jonathan Cahn — you're right where you're supposed to be — were God's direct answer to that lie. 🌿 Key Themes Revelation Tour Turkey and Greece • Jonathan Cahn • In the Margins Series • Spiritual Warfare • God's Calling and Waiting • Faith Through Physical Crisis • Proverbs 3:5-6 • Broken Leg Recovery • Marriage and Shared Faith • Trusting God Through Barriers • Divine Appointment • John Bradfield • Miraculous Survival • God's Timing • Messianic Judaism 🤍 Who Will Benefit From This Episode Anyone who feels called to something and keeps running into walls that seem designed to stop them Couples navigating different levels of faith enthusiasm — and what it looks like to honor each other through it Believ
