A deep-dive conversation on Glenn Bleakney’s new book, Unsettled: The Unexpected Path to God’s Purposes (releasing August 17th). Hosts explore why divine disruption—closed doors, dried-up resources, and dissolved relationships—is not a sign of abandonment, but a masterful redirection into something greater.

In this episode, you’ll discover the psychology of spiritual transition, the agony of “hell in the hallway,” and the difference between fighting demonic resistance and resisting the Father’s insistence. Through vivid biblical stories—from Paul’s blocked journey to Asia, to Elijah’s brook drying up, to David’s mighty men gathering in a cave—Bleakney reveals how God uses the wilderness to forge the character required for your next season.

If you’re navigating a season of intense uncertainty, this conversation is a lifeline: learn why true rest isn’t found in a location or circumstance, but in the realization that home is a person.

The making of a prophet does not begin on the platform. It begins in the secret place. Through Elijah’s journey from Cherith to Zarephath and ultimately Carmel, we discover how God uses separation, consecration, refining and faithful service to prepare His servants. Before the fire fell publicly, Elijah was formed privately. God is still preparing men and women who will carry His presence, confront darkness and demonstrate His Kingdom with power.

What do you do when your plans fall apart, your resources begin to disappear, or important relationships come to an end?

Glenn Bleakney reveals three ways God unsettles us: the disruption of plans, the dissipation of resources, and the dissolution of relationships. Discover why disruption does not always mean destruction—sometimes it is God’s preparation for your next season.

Before Elijah could stand on Mount Carmel and call down fire, God first led him through Cherith and Zarephath.

Cherith was the place where Elijah learned to depend on God. Zarephath was the place where his faith was tested, stretched, and refined. There, he moved from receiving God’s provision for himself to releasing God’s power for someone else.

In this message, Glenn Bleakney explores how God uses seasons of pressure, delay, discomfort, and impossibility to prepare His people for greater works. The flour and oil revealed God’s sustaining power, but the raising of the widow’s son revealed the God who gives life to the dead.

God is not refining His people to destroy them, but to prepare them. Before we are used greatly, we must often be tested deeply. This is a call to move beyond comfort, contend for the promises of God, and become a people through whom He can awaken families, cities, and nations.

Church hurt is real—but it doesn't have to define your future.

In this honest and hope-filled conversation, Glenn Bleakney sits down with Christian speaker and leadership coach Shaneen Clarke to explore the growing crisis of spiritual abuse, toxic church culture, and moral failure within the Church.

Drawing from her own journey of healing and restoration, Shaneen shares practical wisdom for rebuilding trust, processing disappointment, and rediscovering authentic Christian community without losing your faith in Jesus.

• What spiritual abuse really looks like
• Why so many believers are walking away from church
• How to recover from toxic leadership
• The difference between faith in Christ and disappointment with people
• Building healthy, Christ-centred communities
• Practical steps toward healing, forgiveness, and restoration

Before Elijah stood on Carmel, he was hidden at the Brook Cherith. In this teaching, we unpack the Hebrew roots of "Cherith" (to cut, to cut covenant) and "hide" (saphah, the same word behind Psalm 31:20's "secret place") to reveal that Elijah's hiding wasn't only about provision, it was preparation. Discover the three things God was doing in the secret place, communion, cutting, and covenant, and why this hidden curriculum still shapes every voice God sends to a generation. If you've ever wondered why the wilderness season feels so long, this message will show you what God is actually building in the hidden place before He brings you out.

In this powerful message, Glenn Bleakney teaches how the Spirit of Holiness transforms believers from the inside out. Through the fire of God, we are purified, refined, and empowered to live from our true identity in Christ—not as sinners trying harder, but as saints walking in victory.
