When Impossible Becomes Normal and Building Your Faith Foundation
A portable phone in 1979? Delusional. Integrated schools in 1955? Unthinkable. Human flight in 1899? Pure fantasy. Yet here we are, scrolling through smartphones without a second thought, living in a world where yesterday's impossibilities are today's mundane realities. This pattern isn't just historical trivia-it's a blueprint for how God operates in our personal lives. That mountain of debt crushing you? The medical diagnosis stealing your hope? The generational dysfunction that seems unbreakable? They're only "crazy" until they're overcome. Michael Todd's journey from unknown pastor to leading a movement that's captured millions-from Justin Bieber to everyday believers using #CrazyFaith-proves this principle. His message landed during a pandemic and racial upheaval precisely because people needed permission to believe beyond what seemed reasonable. What if your impossible situation is simply waiting for the same transformation? You can't construct a skyscraper-sized vision on fixer-upper faith. Just as buildings require solid foundations, our spiritual lives need proper groundwork. Todd defines Crazy Faith as "having thoughts and actions that lack reason but trusting fully in what you cannot explicitly prove"-a radical stance in our Google-everything culture where belief requires proof. Consider Noah, building an enormous boat on dry land when no one had ever seen rain. Absolutely insane. Until the flood came. What appears crazy in one season becomes counted as faith in another. This principle played out dramatically when Gary and Debbie McIntosh, white pastors, followed God's call to plant a church in North Tulsa's predominantly Black community-the same area devastated by the 1921 race massacre. When Bishop Gary heard God say "reverse the curse in North Tulsa," they obeyed despite overwhelming challenges, transforming forty people into a thriving ministry reaching thousands worldwide. These stories aren't meant merely to inspire but to compel us to become "willing vessels" that God can use.
