Welcome, everyone, to the 52nd episode of Professor P's Podcast. I am so excited to bring you another dose of Elixir, that energetic power. Today’s topic is the BELLY of the WHALE #faith

Inspired by Jonah 2 and led by divine insight, I unpack how God sometimes prepares custom storms and tailor-made situations—“special fish”—to stop us in our tracks, not to punish us, but to realign us with His purpose.

I explore the darkness of the belly season—the place where we feel alone, cut off, and without direction—and remind us that even there, God is present and listening. This is where we cry out not with the Bible in hand, but with the Word engraved on our hearts. And it's in that sacred darkness that repentance begins—not just as a one-time apology, but as a transformational process of trust.

This episode will speak to anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or like they’ve been swallowed whole by life. Get ready to see how God uses even the most uncomfortable places to restore, reposition, and eventually project us forward—into calling, into purpose, into destiny.

So, let’s jump into today’s episode to hear more. Remember to connect with me on social media. My handles are below. And I would love for you to subscribe, leave me a review, and share this podcast with everyone you know.
