Faith In The Fields – Faith, Business and Life

What do you do when life hits you with something you can’t fix?In this episode of Faith in the Fields, we talk about one of the hardest parts of faith—letting go of control.After walking through the loss of his grandfather, Robert shares a deeply personal moment of standing in the hospital, wanting to fix what couldn’t be fixed… and realizing that some situations aren’t ours to control.Through Scripture and real-life experience, this episode explores:• Why we naturally try to control outcomes• How control can quietly replace trust• What it looks like to surrender—even when it hurts• And how peace begins when we finally let goFeaturing powerful verses like Proverbs 3:5–6, Psalm 46:10, and 1 Peter 5:7, this conversation is not about having all the answers—it’s about trusting God when you don’t.If you’re in a season where life feels uncertain, heavy, or out of your hands… this episode will meet you right there.You don’t have to understand everything.You just have to trust the One who does.

Everyone wants God’s plan… until it costs them something.In this episode of Faith in the Fields, we take an honest look at what it really means to follow God—not just in the moments that feel good, but in the moments that require surrender.Jesus makes it clear in Luke 9:23 that following Him isn’t about convenience. It’s about denying ourselves, taking up our cross daily, and choosing obedience even when it’s uncomfortable.Through Scripture and real-life reflection, we unpack the true cost of following God:• Letting go of comfort• Releasing control• Trusting Him when it doesn’t make sense• And sometimes walking a different path than those around usThis episode isn’t about fear or pressure—it’s about clarity.Because while following God may cost you something… not following Him will cost you more.If you’ve been feeling the pull to step into something deeper, but hesitation keeps holding you back—this conversation will meet you right where you are.You don’t need the full plan.Just the willingness to trust God with the next step.

In this Episode we talk about what God is doing during the waiting season and we dive into the things that God is building inside of us to make sure we have everything we need to be able to carry our blessing. We talk about how sometimes God has to build whats inside of us before he can build the things around us.

Have you ever prayed for something and wondered why God hasn’t answered yet?In this episode of Faith in the Fields, we talk about one of the hardest parts of faith — waiting on God’s timing. When prayers seem unanswered and life doesn’t move as quickly as we hope, it can be easy to question whether God is working at all.Through the story of Abraham and powerful scripture like Ecclesiastes 3:11 and Romans 5:3–4, we explore why seasons of waiting are often the very moments when God is shaping our faith, our character, and our future.Sometimes what feels like a delay is actually preparation.If you’re in a season where it feels like God is silent or slow to move, this episode will remind you that God’s timing is never random — and He is always working behind the scenes.

Can God still use someone who has made mistakes?In Faith in the Fields — S2 • E9, Robert Cole explores one of the most powerful truths found throughout the Bible: God consistently works through broken and imperfect people.From Moses to David to Peter, scripture is filled with examples of individuals who struggled, doubted, and failed—yet God still used their lives in incredible ways.This episode also takes listeners to Romans 8:1, a verse that reminds us that in Christ there is no condemnation for our past mistakes.Through scripture, reflection, and encouragement, this conversation reminds us that our failures do not cancel God’s purpose for our lives. Sometimes the very moments we feel most broken are the places where God begins rebuilding something new.

What happens when we ignore God’s voice?In Faith in the Fields — S2 • E8, Robert Cole explores the story of Jonah and what it teaches us about running from God’s calling.Building on the previous episodes about hearing God’s voice, this conversation looks at the moments when we sense God guiding us but choose another path.Through scripture and personal reflection, Robert explains how ignoring God’s guidance often leads to unnecessary storms in our lives—but also how God’s grace continues to pursue us even when we run.This episode reminds us that our mistakes don’t disqualify us from God’s purpose. Sometimes the path back begins with simply turning around and listening.

How do you actually hear God’s voice?In Faith in the Fields — S2 • E7, Robert Cole explores one of the most common questions believers ask: how does God communicate with us today?Building on the previous episode about the battle between the voices that influence our lives, this conversation dives deeper into how God often speaks in ways that are much quieter than we expect.Through scripture and reflection, Robert examines the powerful story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, where God did not appear in the wind, the earthquake, or the fire—but instead through a gentle whisper.This episode also explores how God guides us through scripture, the Holy Spirit, conviction, and moments of quiet reflection, and why the noise of the world can make it difficult to recognize His voice.In a world full of distractions, learning how to slow down and listen may be one of the most important spiritual disciplines we can develop.

Why do we so often make the wrong choices… even when we know better?In Faith in the Fields — S2 • E6, Robert Cole dives deeper into the battle between the voices that influence our decisions every day.Building on the conversation from the previous episode about free will and the Tree of Knowledge, Robert explores how temptation often begins with something small — a whisper of doubt, a moment of justification, or a quiet compromise.Through scripture and personal reflection, this episode examines how the enemy often speaks loudly, while God often speaks through a quiet whisper.Referencing the powerful story of Elijah in 1 Kings 19, Robert reflects on how God meets us in our lowest moments and gently calls us back toward Him.This episode explores:• Why temptation begins with doubt• How small compromises can lead us off the path• Why God often speaks through a quiet whisper• How to recognize the voice that leads us toward life and purposeIn a world full of loud voices competing for our attention, learning which voice to follow may be one of the most important decisions we ever make.

Why would God create the Tree of Knowledge if He didn’t want Adam and Eve to eat from it?In this episode of Faith in the Fields — S2 • E5, Robert Cole explores one of the most misunderstood questions in the Bible: why God placed the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden.After a road trip conversation with his wife sparked the topic, Robert reflects on the deeper meaning behind free will, love, and the choices that shape our relationship with God.Through personal stories about early struggles in marriage, financial hardship, and a dark moment that nearly broke him, Robert shares how God used those experiences to draw him back to faith and purpose.Featuring scripture from Genesis 2:16–17, 1 Kings 19, and John 3:16, this episode reminds us that God never wanted forced obedience — He wanted a real relationship.And real love always requires a choice.

Have you ever known God was leading you to do something… and still didn’t do it?Not because you didn’t hear Him.Not because you didn’t believe.But because something inside you resisted it.In this episode, we take an honest look at what’s really happening beneath the surface when we delay obedience. Through Scripture and real-life application, we unpack the true reasons we resist God — fear, control, comfort, and pride — and how those things quietly hold us back.From Jonah running in the opposite direction to the repeated patterns of Israel in the wilderness, the Bible shows us that resistance isn’t new… but neither is God’s patience.This episode isn’t about guilt.It’s about clarity.If you’ve ever felt stuck, delayed, or unsure why you’re not moving forward in your faith — this conversation will meet you right where you are.Because the real question isn’t whether God is speaking…It’s whether we’re willing to obey.

Have you ever felt like God was leading you in a direction…but nothing about it made sense?The timing feels off.The risk feels too big.And if you’re honest—you’re not even 100% sure you’re hearing Him right.This is the part of faith most people don’t talk about.In this episode, we slow down and walk through what Scripture actually says about obedience—especially in the moments where clarity is missing and doubt is loud.From Abraham being called to leave everything without a plan…to Israel struggling to trust God even after witnessing miracles…to Jesus Himself choosing obedience in the face of suffering…We see a pattern:God doesn’t always give full understanding—but He always calls for trust.This isn’t about blind faith or ignoring wisdom.It’s about learning how to take the next step… even when you don’t see the full path.If you’re in a season where you feel stuck between what makes sense and what you feel God leading you to do…this episode is for you.You don’t need the whole plan.Just the willingness to trust Him with the next step.

If God is good, powerful, and loving… why does evil still exist?This is one of the most honest and difficult questions people ask — and the Bible doesn’t avoid it.In this episode, we open Scripture and walk through the answer carefully, starting in Genesis and moving through Romans, the teachings of Jesus, and the promise of restoration in Revelation.Evil was not part of God’s original design.It entered through human rebellion in a fallen world — and God allows time not because He is weak, but because He is merciful.This episode is not about minimizing pain or offering shallow explanations.It’s about protecting God’s character, understanding why evil exists, and finding hope in the middle of suffering.If you’ve ever wrestled with this question — or felt guilty for asking it — this episode is for you.

How can we trust the Bible?Was it written by men, changed over time, or shaped by religion — or is it truly the Word of God?In this episode, we slow down and tackle the most important question of all. We look at how the Bible was written, preserved, and confirmed through history, archaeology, fulfilled prophecy, and eyewitness testimony. We compare Scripture to other ancient writings, walk through common objections, and reflect honestly on what the evidence actually points to.This isn’t blind faith.This is truth examined.If the Bible is true, then everything else we’ve been talking about matters. And if it isn’t, then none of it does. This episode sits at the foundation of the entire season and invites every listener — skeptic or believer — to think deeply, honestly, and carefully about what they believe and why.

When suffering hits, one of the hardest questions people ask is: “Did God do this?”In this episode, we go straight to Scripture to answer that question carefully and honestly.Jesus tells us that the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy — but that He came to bring life. From Genesis to the words of Christ, the Bible draws a clear line between God’s character and the brokenness of a fallen world.This episode is not about denying pain or offering shallow explanations. It’s about defending the goodness of God, understanding why destruction exists, and learning how to trust God’s character even when life doesn’t make sense.If you’re walking through sickness, loss, grief, or confusion — this episode is meant to steady you, not rush you.Season 2 begins with truth, Scripture, and a firm foundation:God is not the author of destruction — and He has not left you in the middle of it.

Faith isn’t tested in the light — it’s tested in the dark.This season finale is for the man who’s been praying, staying disciplined, and trying to do the right thing… but still feels like God is quiet.In this episode, we talk about the seasons where answers don’t come, clarity feels distant, and faith becomes a daily choice rather than a feeling.Scripture shows us that darkness does not mean abandonment — and silence does not mean absence. God has always done some of His deepest work in the unseen, shaping men long before revealing outcomes.If you’re walking through a season that doesn’t make sense yet, this episode is a reminder to stay steady, stay faithful, and trust that God is still working — even here.Season 1 closes with a message of endurance, trust, and quiet strength.

If you’ve been feeling tired, overwhelmed, or quietly carrying more than you let on — this episode is for you.Men were not designed to live without weight.We were designed to carry responsibility, pressure, and purpose — but not alone.In this episode, we talk about the kind of weight men carry that no one sees: providing, protecting, leading, and staying steady even when life feels heavy.Scripture shows us that responsibility was part of God’s design long before brokenness entered the world — and that the problem isn’t the weight itself, but trying to carry it without God.If life feels heavy right now, it doesn’t mean you’re failing.It may mean you’ve been entrusted with more.This episode is a reminder that strong men don’t carry less weight — they carry it with God.

If doing the right thing has started to feel lonely… you’re not alone.Many men expect discipline to bring clarity, confidence, and peace — but no one prepares them for the quiet that comes with it.In this episode, we go deep into Scripture and real life to talk about why disciplined seasons often feel isolating, why God so often leads men into quiet places, and how solitude is not rejection — it’s preparation.From Moses in the wilderness, to David in the caves, to Jesus fasting alone before ministry, the Bible shows us a consistent pattern: God forms men privately before He uses them publicly.If you’ve felt misunderstood, distant, or unsure why this season feels so quiet — this episode is for you.You’re not broken.You’re not being left behind.You’re being shaped.Stay faithful. This season has meaning.

If you’re tired, discouraged, or wondering why doing the right thing feels harder than ever — this episode is for you.Most men don’t quit at rock bottom.They quit in the middle.When progress feels slow.When prayers feel unanswered.When discipline hasn’t paid off yet.When the weight gets heavy and quitting starts to sound reasonable.In this episode, we go deep — real talk, real Scripture, real encouragement.We talk about the unseen fight, the enemy that wants to wear you down, and why resistance always increases right before breakthrough.This isn’t hype.This is a reminder that you’re not alone, you’re not weak, and you’re not losing.If you’ve been thinking about giving up — don’t.Stay in the fight.You’re closer than you think.

If you’re tired, worn down, or quietly wondering how much longer you can keep going — this episode is for you.You’re not weak.You’re not broken.And you’re definitely not alone.We have an enemy who wants to kill, steal, and destroy — and he doesn’t usually come loud. He comes when you’re tired, isolated, and just trying to survive.In this episode, we talk real life, real faith, and real warfare.Not from a pedestal — but from someone who’s been there.If you’re in the middle of the fight…If you’ve thought about quitting…If you’re trying to do the right thing but it feels harder than ever —Don’t quit here.This is the fight. And you were built for it.

This episode might hurt a little — but you’ll be fine.In this conversation, we talk directly to men about comfort, responsibility, and why so many feel restless, disengaged, or stuck. Using Exodus, we unpack why freedom often feels harder than bondage, and why familiar chains can be more tempting than uncertain leadership.This isn’t about shame.It’s about posture.

Have you ever done the right thing — and watched everything get harder?In this episode, we look at what happens in Exodus when Moses obeys God and Pharaoh tightens his grip instead of backing down. We talk about why resistance often follows obedience, why leadership is tested under pressure, and why harder doesn’t mean wrong.This conversation is for business owners, leaders, parents, and anyone who’s stepped out in faith only to feel more tension, not less.If you’ve ever wondered, “Was this even worth it?” — this one’s for you.

Ever prayed for relief… and nothing changed?In this episode of Faith in the Fields, we talk about what it means when God hears you, but doesn’t immediately move you. Using the story of Exodus, we unpack why waiting seasons aren’t wasted, why pressure often comes before freedom, and how God shapes the person before He changes the situation.This conversation is for business owners, leaders, parents, and anyone carrying weight behind the scenes — including those who aren’t sure what they believe yet, but know they’re tired of feeling stuck.If you’re in a season of waiting, this one’s for you.

Pressure doesn’t just test faith — it produces something.In this episode of Faith In The Fields, we talk about what pressure is actually forming in you when you choose not to quit too soon. From Scripture to real-life leadership and business struggles, this conversation explores endurance, character, and trusting God when the process lasts longer than expected.If you’ve been tempted to walk away, compromise, or give up because the pressure hasn’t lifted yet, this episode will help you see what God may be producing beneath the weight.

What happens when you pray, obey, and things don’t get easier — they get harder?In this episode of Faith In The Fields, we talk about why God doesn’t always remove the pressure right away, even after we pray and take steps of obedience. Using lessons from Scripture and real-life experience, we unpack how pressure reveals alignment, builds character, and exposes what still needs to change.This episode is for anyone feeling the weight of business, leadership, family, or faith — and wondering if God is silent in the middle of it. If you’re under pressure right now, this conversation will help you understand why you’re not forgotten and what God may be forming in you.

Faith in the Fields is a podcast for people carrying real responsibility — business owners, leaders, husbands, wives, parents — who want their faith aligned with their work and their lives.In this first episode, we walk through the book of Exodus and take a hard look at Pharaoh’s pain-driven prayers. Pharaoh doesn’t repent — he seeks relief. God, in His mercy, responds… but as soon as the pressure lifts, Pharaoh hardens his heart again.Relief exposes reality.We talk about:• Pain-driven prayer vs real repentance• Why partial obedience is still disobedience• How pride blinds leaders and delays obedience• Why control hides behind “cooperation”• How what you spare can still be taken away• Why praying only when things break keeps you stuckThis episode is for anyone who prays when life is on fire — but struggles to surrender when things are calm.This isn’t hype.This isn’t church talk.This is real faith, real work, and real responsibility.
