135. We End Sentences Where God Has More to Say

Most of us are guilty of putting a period where God has more to say—and missing out on the ongoing story He’s writing in our lives. When we think we’ve “arrived” or reached the end of a chapter, we may be unknowingly cutting short what God intends to reveal next. But what if the pauses, the setbacks, or even the seasons we dislike are actually part of a bigger, more beautiful narrative? In this episode, hosts DJ and Brad explore how adopting a mindset that embraces God’s ongoing voice can transform our perspective on career, family, community, and faith itself. They unpack real stories—from career disappointments to unexpected moves—showing how God’s “more to say” often comes through seasons we’d rather skip. You’ll discover how to recognize when you’re trying to put a period in God’s sentence and learn practical ways to keep the story open-ended in obedience and trust. We break down how these “periods” can become opportunities for divine redirection rather than dead ends. Explore the significance of valleys and mountaintops in God's journey for us—how seasons of drought prepare us for rain, and how staying open to God’s ongoing narrative prevents us from erecting idols on our spiritual mountaintops. Plus, learn how the church, as a community, can avoid the trap of halting God's work prematurely, restoring its focus on seeking His ongoing voice rather than clinging to comfortable traditions or past victories. Whether you’re facing a major life transition or simply want to better discern God’s ongoing story for you and your community, this episode offers a compelling invitation to surrender the period and embrace the comment—what God still has to say. If you long to step deeper into faith that moves beyond the “end,” this is essential listening. Guests and insights from Scripture underscore that our God is a God of continuance—not completion. When we align ourselves with His timing and trust His ongoing story, we open ourselves to transformation, purpose, and ultimately, a richer relationship with Him. Tune in to hear how to leave behind the limitations of human pause and step confidently into the comment God is waiting to write next.
