What do you do when life doesn’t go according to plan?
In this message, Pastor Nfluence challenges believers to move beyond surface-level faith and build real trust in God when life gets difficult, confusing, or painful.
Using stories, gaming analogies, and biblical truth, this sermon explores what happens when your plans fail, your understanding runs out, and God still asks you to trust Him anyway.
Because faith isn’t tested when everything makes sense.
Faith is revealed when it doesn’t.
If you’ve ever felt like life “missed a mechanic,” this message is for you.
