Ever feel like life just flipped the script on you? Like you were headed in the right direction, and then, bam!, everything shifted? Before you panic or call it a spiritual attack, let’s pause.

In this episode of The Faith Infusion Podcast, Minister Demetria Lea breaks down why the chaos you’re facing might not be a plot twist; it might just be your spiritual growth spurt.

We’re talking about discomfort, stretching, and why God will sometimes let things fall apart, not to destroy you, but to develop you. It’s not always the devil. Sometimes it’s just the process that comes with purpose.

If you’ve been questioning what God is doing in this season, this message is for you. The shift you’re experiencing? It’s not a detour, it’s divine development.

Right before breakthrough, the same voices and habits often creep back to pull you down. In this episode, Minister Demetria Lea shows how biblical figures like the Israelites, Samson, and Jonathan reveal the danger of cycles and the power of breaking free. Family, it’s time to stop circling and start crossing.

“Deep Roots, Not Dry Wood” challenges us to examine what we’re watering in our spiritual lives. Minister Demetria explores how we sometimes hold onto people-pleasing, old labels, unforgiveness, comfort zones, or even assignments God never gave us, all forms of dry wood that drain rather than nourish. Looking at lesser-known biblical examples like Terah, Amaziah, Apollos, Lot’s wife, and King Joash, we see the consequences of compromise and the power of humility and obedience. The takeaway? Don’t waste your water on what’s dead. Invest in the roots God has planted, because deep roots are where your future, your fruit, and your endurance will thrive.
