May 1700:42:49Tap to summarizePodcast Summary — Ps Julia McDonell | 17 May 2026 “Tested Faith, Trusted Faith” Ps Julia McDonell brings a deeply anointed and emotionally charged message on the journey from tested faith to trusted faith, calling every believer to move beyond comfort and step into personal revival. Drawing from Ephesians 4 and the powerful story of Elijah and Elisha in 2 Kings 2, she shows that God forms trustworthy vessels through seasons of pressure, surrender, and obedience. She reminds the church that revival is no longer about the “big names” or the spectacular movements of the 1990s—God is igniting revival within each believer, empowering them to transform their world, workplace, and relationships. Through vivid storytelling, Ps Julia highlights Elisha’s unwavering loyalty, his willingness to walk through rejection, famine, confrontation, and grief, and his ultimate transition into a double‑portion inheritance—not of power, but of sonship. With raw honesty, she shares her own journey through grief and the moment she had to “push through and touch the hem of His garment,” urging listeners not to remain stuck in pain but to cross over into personal faith, personal prayer, and personal encounter with God. The mantle, she says, falls in moments of painful separation—but each believer must choose to pick it up. This message calls the church to maturity, surrender, and courage: Stop depending on someone else’s walk with God. Strike the water for yourself. Step into the new season God is opening before you.
