When you look at your life, do you see the giants or do you see the promise?

What do you do when the door is blocked and the crowd says there’s no room? Do you turn back—or dig deeper?

In this powerful conclusion to our July faith series, we explore Faith That Digs Deep through the story in Mark 2:1–12. Four friends carry a paralyzed man to Jesus—only to find the way shut. But instead of walking away, they climb up, tear through the roof, and lower him into the presence of the Healer.

Their bold, visible faith caught heaven’s attention. And their friend walked away healed.

This episode is for the ones who’ve been stuck, and the ones who’ve carried others in faith. It’s a call to push past obstacles, press through disappointment, and believe again—because sometimes the miracle is on the other side of the roof.

🔑 You’ll learn:

• Why your circle impacts your breakthrough

• How faith can be seen, not just spoken

• Practical ways to reignite your faith and carry others into their healing

Plus, LaKesha shares how to identify where you've stopped digging and how to activate the kind of belief that refuses to give up.

What do you do when the promise takes longer than expected? When time passes, doors remain closed, and hope feels like it’s slipping through your fingers?

In this episode of the Elevated Destiny podcast, LaKesha unpacks the unwavering journey of Abraham—the man who waited decades for a single promise to be fulfilled. Through Genesis 17–22 and Romans 4:18–21, we explore what it means to have faith that waits—faith that isn’t shaken by silence, delayed by time, or weakened by uncertainty.

You’ll discover:

· Why God’s timing doesn’t follow your clock

· How to hope against hope in seemingly hopeless situations

· What to do while you wait (hint: it’s not sitting still)

· And how to hold the promise loosely enough to offer it back to God

If you're tired of waiting or wondering if your faith still matters, this episode will remind you: delayed doesn’t mean denied—and those who hope in the Lord will never be put to shame.
