Larger Than Logic Podcast

In this episode of Larger Than Logic, we dive into a powerful moment in John 6:10–15 when Jesus feeds the five thousand, and the crowd tries to make Him king by force. But instead of seizing the opportunity, He withdraws—reminding us that not every position of power is a part of God’s plan for our lives.   We talk about the temptation of titles, influence, and premature elevation—especially when others are pushing us into roles we were never meant to fill. While many would chase the crown, Jesus chose to stay focused on His true assignment.   Whether it’s a leadership...

Larger Than Logic Podcast

This episode isn’t a three-point sermon. It’s more like a heart-to-heart.   I’m sharing thoughts that have been sitting heavy on my spirit—about how easy it is to start living from our emotions instead of living with intentional, Christ-centered focus.   Inspired in part by Matthew 23:25, where Jesus calls out the Pharisees for cleaning the outside of the cup while the inside remains filthy, this conversation is about more than just appearances. It’s about how we can get so caught up in doing all the right-looking things, while avoiding the internal work that truly honors...

Episode Summary:

When you decide to grow, level up, or change your life, not everyone will celebrate you. Some will talk down, distance themselves, oppose you, or even rewrite the narrative to make your intentions look negative. That kind of resistance can leave you feeling discouraged, distracted, or even hopeless.

In this episode of the Larger Than Logic Podcast, we unpack:

  • Why people resist your growth – the psychology of protecting their comfort and status quo

  • How resistance shows up – gossip, opposition, downplaying your wins, withdrawing support

  • The mental & spiritual toll – discouragement, defensiveness, and isolation

  • Practical steps to overcome it:

     

    1. Normalize resistance – understand it’s natural when you disrupt the “safe zone”

    2. Highlight the benefits – remind others (and yourself) why the change matters

    3. Cheer yourself on – don’t wait for outside validation

    4. Communicate clearly & consistently – keep sharing the vision so others can buy in

    5. Anchor in faith – remember, what’s rooted in God will grow (Moses’ story as proof!)

By the end of this episode, you’ll feel equipped to keep moving forward — even when the world around you seems to push back.

🔑

Key Takeaways

  • Resistance is normal — it’s a sign you’re shifting the culture.

  • Comfort and growth can’t exist in the same environment.

  • The key is to stay clear, consistent, and confident about your direction.

  • Your faith, focus, and self-approval are non-negotiables.

🎯

Who This Episode Is For

  • Leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators facing pushback

  • People trying to grow in faith, business, or relationships

  • Anyone feeling misunderstood, resisted, or discouraged while leveling up
