When Failure Leads to Greater Faith

FAITH VS. FAILURE

Failure is often a catalyst to faith in the Kingdom of God. Oftentimes we assume that God can’t use areas of our lives where we lack capability and craft. Thus, we confine and constrict ourselves to what’s comfortable and familiar, instead of leaping into the land of risk. Yet, it’s often in the land of risk that we find the catalysts to greater depth of the supernatural in our life.

Now, let me be clear; I am not encouraging any sense of moral failure in order to reach greater levels of faith, but it is obvious that Jesus created a culture of faith around Him.
 
The Bible says that Judas was a thief and Jesus knew it (John 12:4-7). Yet Jesus made Judas the treasurer of His ministry. Why would Jesus make Judas the treasurer when He knew that he was a thief?
 
This culture of faith was manifested in Jesus’ trusting people before they deserved it. This resulted in eleven men becoming world-changers and one man hanging himself; world-changers are only developed in a culture of faith. 
 
Faith requires risk; however, risk doesn’t mean reckless — we need the wisdom of God when approaching problems beyond our power. But, the beauty of the Gospel is that God wants a relationship with you: He wants to partner with you to solve the problems of our day and brave a path of Heavenly brilliance. 

The Lord entrusts us with challenges that require us to lean into faith and partner with the Holy Spirit in order to succeed. 

On this week’s episode of Cultural Catalysts, I sat down for a conversation with my good friend and SQ Institute Instructor Lindsey Reiman. Lindsey shared the incredible story of her journey to discovering her calling of unlocking heavenly solutions for practical purposes on the earth. It wasn’t free of failure but rather was a risk-filled journey to reward.

Many of us have been misled into thinking that to love ourselves is a form of selfishness. Yet, what does Scripture really say? 'Love your neighbor as yourself'—this commandment from the Bible isn't just an instruction to love others but a divine mandate that ties our ability to love others to how much we cherish and accept ourselves. As we unpack this, let’s redefine what it truly means to love ourselves in the light of God's word, discovering how this self-love is not selfish but is actually the cornerstone of genuine relationships.

In a world more connected than ever through the internet and social media, the deep, authentic connection we all yearn for has become increasingly elusive. Created in God’s image, we instinctively desire to be known, loved, and belong, yet so many of us wrestle with invisible barriers that keep us isolated. What if the secret to breaking through these barriers lies not in more connections but in deeper, more meaningful ones with both God and others? How can we identify and overcome what prevents us from experiencing true connection in our daily lives?

In early December, I began seeking a prophetic word from the Lord for 2024. He told me, "I am not going to give you a word for 2024. Instead, I am going to give you a word for the Body of Christ for a new era." He explained that January 2024 would be a half-time; marking the closure of an era and the beginning of a new one. This period would be characterized by immense transition, culminating in the discipling of nations. A supernatural metamorphosis, metaphorically akin to a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly, would occur right before our eyes.
