Manage episode 514764477 series 2984023
You’ve been through way too much to give up now. In this powerful, vulnerable episode of the Mind Bully Podcast, Norense Odiase opens up about losing his sister and grandmother in the same year, facing personal pain, and rediscovering strength through surrender.
Recorded in real time after a breakthrough moment at the gym, Norense reflects on anger, faith, and the temptation to quit. He walks through what it means to truly trust God’s character when life feels unfair, how to process grief without losing focus, and why surrender is the key to strength.
This episode will remind you that you are not alone in your suffering—and that the same God who counts your tears also counts your steps forward.
What You’ll Learn
- How grief can refine, not define, your faith
- Why surrender is stronger than striving
- The spiritual danger of self-doubt and discouragement
- How to confront lies from the enemy with truth
- Practical ways to keep showing up when life gets heavy
Key Scriptures
- Joshua 1:8 – Meditate on His word day and night
- James 1:2–4 – Count it all joy in trials
- Romans 8:28 – All things work together for good
- Philippians 1:6 – He who began a good work in you will complete it
Memorable Quotes
- “You’ve given up by shutting up. Open your mouth and speak life.”
- “Faith doesn’t make sense—it makes strength.”
- “Life doesn’t break you. It builds you.”
- “Surrender isn’t losing—it’s aligning with the One who already won.”
