You’re Not Just Standing….You’re Positioned

from The UnCommon Christian Podcast · host Jon Ellis

Why God Uses Faithful People Who Refuse to Move Sometimes obedience doesn’t look like progress. Sometimes faith doesn’t feel victorious. And sometimes standing still feels like failure. In UNC020, Jon Ellis speaks directly to believers who didn’t quit, didn’t compromise, and didn’t walk away, but still feel stuck because nothing has changed. Using Exodus 14 and the moment Israel stood trapped at the Red Sea, this episode reframes waiting as positioning, not punishment. You’ll learn why standing can be the most obedient move you make, why silence doesn’t mean God is absent, and how God often moves only after obedience removes every other option. If you’re faithful but frustrated… If you’re obeying but exhausted… If you’re standing and wondering if it even matters… This episode will help you understand what God is doing while you wait—and why positioned people always see God move. Standing still can feel like failure, but in the Kingdom, it’s often positioning. In UNC020, Jon Ellis explains why obedience doesn’t always produce immediate results, how waiting can actually be alignment, and why God moves on behalf of those who refuse to panic their way out of position. If you’re still faithful but questioning everything, this episode is for you.
