Faith Beyond Sight - (#1044 - Elim)

Faith demands trust in what we cannot see—a radical and often difficult concept in a world that craves instant, visible proof.

In this deeply insightful episode of the Unshakable podcast, Pastor Ben Cooper unpacks the tension between authentic faith and religious systems, guiding listeners through a compelling journey from the Ark of the Covenant in Joshua 3 to our current post-resurrection reality. The Israelites followed a visible symbol of God’s presence. The early disciples walked beside the physical Jesus. But today, we’re called to believe without seeing—to walk by faith alone.

As Pastor Ben shares, faith is no longer about what’s in front of our eyes—it’s about trusting in the unseen, the eternal. This episode explores how modern believers often fall into the trap of recreating man-made religion that mimics God’s design but misses His presence. He compares it to building a “wonky IKEA cupboard”—a powerful image of what happens when we alter divine instructions to suit our preferences.

You’ll learn:

• Why following Jesus requires more than visible signs
• How the Israelites followed God’s presence, and how we must follow by faith
• The danger of religion replacing relationship
• How faith connects us to Jesus in a way sight never could
• Why church systems must reflect Christ’s simplicity and not human tradition

This message resonates with anyone who has struggled with doubt, ritualism, or a disconnect between church and Christ. Pastor Ben reminds us that Jesus never charged admission, never sold the gospel, and never demanded empty tradition. He called followers—not just attendees.

If your walk with God feels dry or disconnected, this is a call to return to real faith in Jesus, not the version of Christianity shaped by pressure, money, or performance. We are invited to walk where our eyes can’t lead us—into a deeper, freer, unshakable faith.

This episode also offers deep encouragement for those navigating difficult seasons. When answers don’t come easily, and signs aren’t visible, this message reminds us that faith still works, and God is still moving—even when we can’t see it.

Whether you’re listening in the U.S., Nigeria, the U.K., Australia, or across the globe, this word will equip and challenge you to trust like never before.
