Delayed Obedience = Delayed Blessings

Let’s be real — sometimes we know exactly what God told us to do… and we still don’t want to do it. That’s why Jonah’s story hit me hard. I’ve been wrestling with obedience, struggling to get back into my discipline, and honestly throwing a little grown-up temper tantrum along the way.

In this episode, I’m sharing my honest journey — from ignoring 5AM wake-up calls to realizing that delayed obedience is still disobedience. We’ll look at how Jonah ran from God, how fasting shifted a whole city’s fate, and why your yes to God could be the key to unlocking blessings for more than just you.

💡 Highlights:

• The real reason discipline isn’t working for you right now
• How disobedience creates chaos — not just in your life, but others’ too
• What fasting, obedience, and discipline actually have in common
• And how one man’s obedience led to an entire city being saved (whew!)

📖 Scriptures: Jonah 1–3, Ephesians 3:20
