165. Faithful in the Middle: Don’t Rush Past the Process

Emma Stark is joined by prophets Amanda Atkinson and Karyn Stuart for a raw, honest, and deeply prophetic conversation about one question: What would you be gutted if you didn’t see happen this year?

From blessing the land to receive people as they move and transition, to learning how to settle into the joy of your current assignment, this episode carries a clear message: 2026 is not promised to be easy, but it can be deeply well-lived.

Together, Emma, Amanda, and Karyn unpack:

• why the Church must recover depth of relationship
• how to find joy in obedience, not just endurance
• what it means to be faithful in the middle
• why returning to the same issue can be faithfulness, not failure
• how Nehemiah models processing grief and courage over months, not moments
• why togetherness is how we survive wars, tumults, and cultural upheaval

With stories of transition, healing, corporate grief, and everyday acts of love, this episode is a call to build the kind of community where people are known, held, and strengthened.
