GO FORWARD CONFERENCE '25| EPISODE 7| WHEN THE WAVES BEAT HARDER| CHIMDI OHAHUNA| GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST Scripture Focus: Mark 4:37; Luke 8:23–24; Matthew 8:24 Welcome to this powerful episode of the Go Forward Conference'25, we consider deeply the moment when “the waves beat into the ship”—a vivid picture of what it means to face the secondary effects of life’s fiercest storms. The storm may rage on the lake, but it’s the waves that reach the ship. And in our lives, it’s often the ripple effects—fear, trauma, pressure—that threaten to capsize our peace, not the storm itself. Drawing from the storm narratives in the Gospels, we uncover the enemy’s subtle strategy: to use what we’re meant to sail on—our generation, our tools, our journey—to enter our hearts and destroy us from within. But Jesus, asleep in the boat, models a higher posture: Jesus mode, not survival mode. He shows us how to stand in authority, rebuke the wind, and speak peace to the waves. This episode will help you: - Understand the difference between the storm and its effects - Recognize how the enemy uses indirect tactics to steal peace, kill vision, and destroy purpose - Guard your heart from the waves of the age—fear, distraction, and worldly systems - Learn to live afloat, not overwhelmed, by the very waters meant to carry you - Respond like Jesus: rebuke the wind, command the waves, and keep sailing forward The storm may toss you, but it cannot tear you apart. Jesus in your ship is your anchor. Listen now and anchor your soul in truth of the Word of God. Kindly subscribe to the GRACELIFECOMI PODCAST. Grace to you! Jesus is Lord.
