Ep. 5 | Stages of Faith: The Union Stage
from Not Crushing It · host Isaac and Emily
In this episode of the Not Crushing It Podcast, Isaac and Emily explore the beauty of the Union Stage—the stage of faith marked by deep communion with Christ, trust in Him, experiencing the fruit of full surrender. Isaac and Emily describe how, in this stage, believers often experience profound peace—not because they have “figured it all out” or have all the answers, but because they have learned to trust God and can rest knowing God is guiding them, even when the path is unclear.Yet, they also stress that we are never meant to grow complacent here. The stages of faith are not linear milestones, but cyclical movements of grace. The Union Stage, while beautiful, is not a final destination. God continually leads us back through each stage of faith, and with every return, we are drawn into greater wholeness and the expanding fullness of Christ in us.
