"I'm still stuck."You know what God made you for. You might even be starting to see momentum. But there's something blocking you from actually stepping into it.Barry discovered why—and it's not what you think.It's not about trying harder. It's not about more faith. And it's definitely not about holding on tighter.

Because sometimes the very thing we think will get us there is actually what's keeping us grounded.He explains:▪️Why Jacob's wrestling match wasn't about fighting God▪️The "finisher mentality" that prolongs your wilderness season▪️Why you can't receive breakthrough while holding on to your own strength▪️The GPS vs Compass problem (and why clarity isn't the answer)▪️The 3 reasons people never experience breakthrough▪️How community unlocks your identity in ways isolation never can00:00 Intro03:44 "I Know I Was Born for This—So Why Do I Feel Stuck?"05:46 What Jacob Was Really Wrestling (It Wasn't God)09:00 How We Try to Step Into God's Promises With Our Own Power10:23 Why the Limp Wasn't Punishment—It Was the Goodness of God22:35 The "Finisher Mentality" That Keeps You in the Wilderness Longer25:07 The Shocking Truth: You Can't Receive Until You Stop Holding On28:09 What Happens When You Finally Let Go of Your Own Strength30:11 The One Thing to Pass On to Your Kids: God Is Good (Not Just Powerful)43:05 Why Trying to Find Your Identity Alone Always Fails46:21 The Truth About Community: It's Where Identity Gets Validated49:32 The 3 Reasons You'll Never Experience Breakthrough52:52 Identity Unlocks Meaning—And Meaning Unlocks Everything Else55:30 The GPS vs Compass Problem (And Why You're Asking for the Wrong Thing)56:34 Why We Made Desperation the High Watermark of Faith (And Why That's Tragic)57:53 How Hearing God Opens the Door to Identity1:00:00 "Give Me My Life Plan So I Don't Need You"—The Scary Truth We Won't Say1:02:22 Do You Actually Trust That God Is Good?
