The Journey of Becoming: Getting Unstuck in 2026

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6 This past year, God has been speaking a consistent message: you are in process. You are appointed, anointed, and still becoming. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. As we reflect on the themes that emerged throughout 2025, we see God’s faithful hand guiding, shaping, and empowering His people for their next season.

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6

This past year, God has been speaking a consistent message: you are in process. You are appointed, anointed, and still becoming. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. As we reflect on the themes that emerged throughout 2025, we see God’s faithful hand guiding, shaping, and empowering His people for their next season.

As I sat with the Lord and we talked about last year and the coming year, I asked Him, “What are your people most concerned about in the coming year?” He said, “They are feeling stuck.”  This past year, many have experienced sudden shifts in their seasons. Doors that seemed certain have slammed shut. Financial provision that felt secure has been canceled. Relationships that appeared stable have fractured. Health challenges have emerged without warning. Dreams that seemed within reach have suddenly felt impossibly distant. He said, “My people, they don’t know how to move forward.”

When we feel stuck, we need to remember that God already has a plan for 2026.
Know this:

  • Your struggles are not meaningless
  • Your pain has a purpose
  • Your story matters
  • Your prayers are heard
  • Your breakthrough is coming
  • Your tears are counted
  • Your future is secure

“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry.” — Psalm 34:15.

The Comfort of El-Roi: Seen, Known, and Loved

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

Have you ever felt invisible? Like no one, not even God, truly cares or sees you or the problems you’re facing? In those moments when loneliness weighs heavy and struggles feel unseen, there’s a beautiful truth that changes everything: God sees you. I’ve had several individuals talk to me this week about a sudden shift in their season. Doors were shut in their faces, finances were canceled, and seemingly everything that could go wrong went wrong. They felt that God had abandoned them; He no longer saw them. One of the most comforting names for God is El-Roi, which translates literally Read More

Appointed, Anointed, and Still Becoming

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

There’s something profoundly humbling about realizing that who I am today isn’t who I was yesterday, and who I’ll be tomorrow is still being shaped by God’s faithful hands. The journey of transformation isn’t always comfortable, but it’s always purposeful. Because of God’s grace, I’m becoming the person He’s appointed me to be. Scripture reminds us in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” This promise anchors my soul on difficult days when growth feels slow or impossible. God isn’t finished with me yet. Read More

No More Manna: Trusting God Through Seasons of Change

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

You’ve entered your promised land, but something has changed—the supernatural provision has ceased. The manna is gone. For forty years, God miraculously fed His people in the wilderness. Consider the magnitude: approximately 9 million pounds of manna appeared each day, and 18 million pounds on Fridays. For 14,600 consecutive days across 2,080 weeks, the Israelites simply walked outside to find their daily bread waiting. Can you fathom such faithfulness? But when they crossed into Canaan—a land flowing with milk, honey, and abundance—the manna stopped the very day they ate from the produce of the land (Joshua 5:11-12). Why? Understanding Seasons Read More

Global Impact: God’s Promise and Your Obedience

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” — Mark 16:15 “If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good things of the land.” — Isaiah 1:19 “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.” — Ephesians 3:20 Have you ever felt like God promised you something big—perhaps to speak to the nations or impact countless lives—but you’re still waiting to see it happen? Before you assume God has forgotten His word to you, pause and Read More

Preparing to Pivot

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

How do you prepare for your new season? When God whispers your name and tells you he’s moving you forward to a new season, what are you supposed to do? Do you immediately pack your bags, quit your job, or start telling people that you have changed your status? No. God is a God of structure. So how do you prepare to ‘pivot’? For me, it started as a period of rest. God said, “Stop what you are doing and take a period of rest.” He did not tell me how long; he just said, “Stop and rest.” So starting Read More
