Rocks, Hard Places, and Reorientation

Pastor Dan Braga from Neighbor's Church shares a vulnerable and powerful message about how God forms us in the painful, uncertain places—between a rock and a hard place. Drawing from Elijah’s journey in 1 Kings 19, he unpacks the cycles of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation, showing how God meets us not with quick fixes, but with quiet presence. In seasons of doubt, dryness, or deep loss, we’re invited to stop striving and surrender fully, trusting that God is still at work even when we can’t feel Him. The invitation is to let suffering shape us, trusting that joy and transformation are waiting on the other side.
