Life doesn’t shape us in calm, predictable moments—it forms us in the storms. In this episode of HEARTBEAT, we reflect on the truth behind the saying “Calm waters make poor sailors” and how God uses challenging seasons to grow our faith.

Drawing from James 1, this devotional reminds us that the testing of our faith doesn’t produce comfort or ease—it produces perseverance. When life feels overwhelming and the waters are rough, it may not be a sign of failure, but evidence that God is strengthening us for what lies ahead.

If you’re feeling stretched, uncertain, or out of your depth, this message offers hope: God is at work in the struggle, shaping resilience that will last long after the storm passes.

👉 Don’t forget: You can also download our free devotional, “Mind, Body & Soul,” designed to help strengthen your walk with God through Scripture, prayer, and practical habits.
