There’s a big difference between wanting something to work better… and wanting to watch it burn.

It’s true in your marriage. It’s true in your church. It’s true in your government. And it’s definitely true in your personal life.

In this mini-episode of under 5 minutes, we’re talking about a mindset that’s quietly shaping our culture—and maybe your own heart more than you realize. When something breaks, frustrates, or disappoints us, the easy response is destruction.

But the wiser, godlier response?

Restoration. Reform. Rebuilding.

We’ll look at how Scripture speaks to this—how Paul challenged messy churches to grow, not quit; how Proverbs invites us to build with wisdom, not rage; and how this same principle can guide your finances, your family, and your faith.

So before you tear something down… pause.

What was it meant to provide?

What would it take to help it work again?

This episode will challenge you, ground you, and hopefully, call you to be what the world needs more of: a builder.
