What do you do when your best efforts seem to disappear into thin air?
You pour out your heart, offer your gifts, share your message… and hear nothing but crickets. A few people cheer, but momentum fizzles. Others smile politely, but their eyes are elsewhere. And the silence makes you wonder, Is any of this making a difference?
In today’s episode, we explore a deeper, grace-paced way of looking at our work—especially when it feels like nothing is working.
Together, we’ll talk about:
The quiet heartbreak of unnoticed effort
What Jesus did when people misunderstood or rejected Him
The kind of fruit that grows slowly, deeply, and sometimes invisibly
How to stay faithful when the results don’t show up right away
You’ll be encouraged to rethink:
What success really means
How God’s grace reshapes our expectations
Why the work you're doing—right now—matters more than you know
💡Today’s Big Idea: We’re not responsible for the soil, only the sowing.
⚡️Today’s Small Step: Name one area where you’ve been discouraged in your ministry or creative work. Then, instead of measuring impact, ask: What does faithfulness look like here today?
