“The Messy Middle”
This month’s word might not come with glitter or confetti, but it carries deep, transformational power. In this episode, we dive into what Schlyce calls the messy middle—that uncomfortable, in-between space where the old has dissolved, the new hasn’t fully formed, and surrender becomes the only option.
Using the metaphor of a caterpillar’s metamorphosis, this word calls us to embrace the hidden work of grace that’s unfolding—even when it’s disorienting, uncertain, or downright confusing. This isn’t about striving to “get it right.” It’s about trusting the process of transfiguration as Christ awakens us from false identities and old survival patterns and begins to reveal who we truly are in Him.
In this episode, we explore:
-
Why May, the 5th month, is marked by grace—and what that means for your transformation
-
The “messy middle” of metamorphosis, where ego dissolves and identity in Christ takes shape
-
Romans 12:1 and Ephesians 5:14 as anchors for surrender, awakening, and embodied sonship
-
How to trust God even when your old survival systems are falling apart and you feel out of control
-
Why the process of losing your life leads to finding the real you—fully possessed by Christ
This is a word for anyone in transition, anyone feeling undone, and anyone wondering if God is still at work when everything feels unclear. The answer is: He is.
There’s grace for the middle. There’s resurrection on the other side.
Tune in now and let this word meet you right where you are.
