UNDENIABLE AUTHORITY // Expectation vs Experience | Jarrod Cochran

Jan 25, 2026    Jarrod Cochran

What do you do when God doesn’t act the way you expected? In Luke 7:18–23, John the Baptist, faithful, obedient, fearless, sits in prison questioning everything. “Are You really the One?” The gap between expectation and experience nearly breaks him.


This message speaks to every believer who has prayed, obeyed, and trusted, yet still feels forgotten. Jesus doesn’t shame John for doubting. He points to what He’s already doing. Mature faith worships even when it doesn’t understand.


Faith clings when answers don’t come.
