Show Notes
If your business feels like it's in crisis right now, this episode will reframe everything about what that actually means.
Shay makes the case from Scripture that crisis isn't a sign of God's absence — it's one of the primary settings where He shows up miraculously. Walking through the Red Sea, the widow's oil, Shadrach and his friends in the furnace, Lazarus — she traces the pattern that biblical miracles almost always happen at the point of human impossibility, then applies it directly to the hard seasons every entrepreneur faces. She shares her own story of stepping out in obedience to church plant in Florida, ending up on food stamps, and how that desperate season became the birthplace of everything God built next.
Whatever you've been holding out for in your business — this episode is your invitation to open your hands and trust what's possible on the other side of the hard.
