 Faith Without Movement Is Stillness

By Colleeno Chippy



Faith is a beautiful thing — it’s hope in motion, trust in what we can’t see, and belief that something greater is guiding our steps. But here’s the truth that many overlook: faith that doesn’t move is faith that stays stuck.

You can pray, believe, visualize, and prepare — but without movement, faith remains a wish. Real faith requires alignment between what you believe and what you do.

Believing Isn’t Doing

Many of us are waiting for divine confirmation when God already gave us instruction. We’re asking for signs while ignoring the nudge to move. Faith is not only about expecting miracles; it’s about creating space for them through action.

When you take one step, heaven takes ten. That’s how divine partnership works. You show your faith through obedience — not just words, but willingness.

The Stillness That Paralyzes

There’s a kind of stillness that’s peaceful — the stillness of prayer, rest, or surrender. But there’s another kind of stillness that drains your spirit — the kind that comes from hesitation, fear, or overthinking. You tell yourself you’re waiting on God, but sometimes, He’s waiting on you.

Faith doesn’t always look graceful. Sometimes it’s messy, uncertain, or uncomfortable. But that’s what makes it powerful — it’s a walk through the unknown with confidence in the unseen.

The Power of Movement

Every great story of faith involves movement. Noah built. Abraham left. Moses stretched his hand. David ran toward the giant. Mary said yes. Movement is faith in action. It’s proof that you trust the One who called you more than the fear that tries to stop you.

Start Where You Are

You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to start where you are — with what you have. Faith doesn’t demand perfection; it requires participation. Even small steps are sacred when taken with belief.

Faith is a Verb

It’s not passive — it’s alive. It breathes in every “yes” you whisper to your calling, every risk you take in love, and every door you knock on even when you’re unsure who will answer.

Faith without works is stillness, and stillness without surrender is stagnation. So move — even if you tremble — because your breakthrough is already waiting for your first step.

The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place

  The Illusion of Productivity: When Learning Becomes a Hiding Place By Colleeno Chippy In today’s world, productivity has become a badge of honor. We chase full schedules, long to-do lists, and endless multitasking as proof that we’re doing something meaningful. But here’s the truth — being busy doesn’t always mean being purposeful. Sometimes, productivity is just another form of procrastination. We study, we plan, we prepare — but deep down, we’re avoiding the real work that demands courage, vulnerability, or faith. When “Busy” Becomes a Distraction There’s a special kind of exhaustion that comes from doing everything except the one thing that would truly move your life forward. It feels safe to stay in constant motion. To learn more, research more, or organize more. Because if you’re “working on it,” then you don’t have to face the fear of actually doing it. But motion isn’t the same as progress. You can be moving every day and still standing in the same place spiritually...

The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement

  The Difference Between Motion and Action: Why Progress Demands Movement By Colleeno Chippy There’s a subtle trap many of us fall into — one that feels productive but keeps us stuck. It’s the illusion of progress. We tell ourselves we’re “working on it,” “getting ready,” or “still planning.” But sometimes, what we call progress is really just motion — not action. Motion Feels Good, But It’s Not Always Growth Motion looks like researching, brainstorming, journaling, and talking about your goals. It’s reading books on healing without actually healing. It’s watching motivational videos without applying a single lesson. It feels like progress because you’re engaged — but it’s safe. There’s no risk in motion. Action, however, takes courage. Action means showing up, even when you don’t feel ready. It’s pressing “publish” on that post, applying for the job, writing the first page of your book, or booking that first client. Action transforms intention into impact. The Comfort of Mo...

The Weight of Self-Accountability

  The Weight of Self-Accountability By Colleeno Chippy Introduction It’s easy to point fingers when things don’t go as planned—blaming time, circumstances, or even other people. But true growth and greatness demand something far deeper: self-accountability. Holding yourself responsible is heavy, yes, but it is also the kind of weight that builds strength. Discipline and accountability go hand in hand. Without them, greatness remains out of reach. Why Excuses Keep Us Stuck Excuses are comforting because they relieve us of responsibility. But every excuse is also a chain, keeping us locked in the same cycle. When you stop making excuses and start owning your actions, you take back your power. Accountability may sting at first, but it is the doorway to transformation. The Strength in Owning Your Choices Self-accountability means being honest about your part—your decisions, your habits, your patterns. It’s not about self-blame but self-ownership. When you recognize your role in ...
