Cally Logan on the power of quiet moments.

In this episode, I sit down with Cally Logan to talk about something I think we all wrestle with—how God actually works in our lives. Not just in the big, obvious moments, but in the quiet, unseen ones beneath the surface.

We get into calling, identity, and what it looks like to trust God when you don’t have clear answers. Because if I’m honest, most of my life hasn’t been marked by burning bush moments—it’s been shaped in the slow, ordinary steps.

We talk about surrender, about learning to listen, and about how God reroutes us—even when we think we’ve gone the wrong way. We look at stories like Jonah and reflect on how God uses even our resistance and mistakes for something bigger.

This conversation is really an invitation—to slow down, to trust God’s timing, and to believe that even the small moments are forming something deep in you.

Key Topics

The hidden work of God beneath the surface

I talk with Cally about how most of what God does in us isn’t loud—it’s quiet. It’s beneath the surface. And if we’re not paying attention, we’ll miss it.

Trusting God when clarity isn’t there

We unpack what it looks like to trust God when you don’t have a clear answer. Not every moment is dramatic or obvious—sometimes it’s just taking the next step.

Surrender as a daily practice

Surrender isn’t a one-time decision. It’s something I have to come back to every day—letting go, little by little, and trusting God with what I’m holding.

When God reroutes your life

We talk about how God uses detours—how even when we think we’ve messed things up, He’s still at work. Nothing is wasted.

What Jonah teaches us about obedience and resistance

Jonah’s story reminds me that even when we run, God still pursues, redirects, and works through us in ways we couldn’t plan.

Embracing the “side quests” of life

Some of the most meaningful growth happens in the things that don’t seem connected. Those side paths? God uses those too.

Taking the next small step

We end with something simple but powerful—don’t try to figure everything out. Just ask God to show you one thing, and take that step.
