Chapter 3: When God Delays a Mission to Win a Soul

Hi ,

Welcome back to the God’s GOAT Book Club! This week’s chapter is one of the most unexpected stories in the entire book — a powerful reminder that God’s plans are always bigger than we can see.

We’re diving into Chapter 3: Army Troop — where a frustrated dispatcher, an unqualified trainee, and a Bible mailed to a soldier collide in a divine chain reaction that ends in revival before tragedy.

📝 Chapter Summary:

Starr was at her breaking point. After 20+ years as a top-tier 911 dispatcher, she was now forced to train a new recruit named Julia who didn’t have the instincts for the job — and it was getting people hurt. What Starr didn’t realize was that Julia wasn’t there to learn dispatch… she was there to encounter Starr’s faith.

That quiet witness led Julia to rediscover her own relationship with God — just in time to send a Bible and devotional to her son Cody, deployed in Afghanistan. Cody, lost in war and fear, began reading… and that one act led to a spiritual revival in his entire troop. When their final deployment came, every man who rolled out in that convoy had already given their life to Christ. It wasn’t a delay — it was divine mercy. And it all started with one tired woman living her faith out loud.

🕊️ Reflection Questions:

• Have you ever felt stuck in a situation that didn’t make sense at the time?
  

• What does “supernatural identity” mean in your own life?
  

• Who might be watching your faith, even when you’re unaware?
  

• Are you willing to trust God with assignments that feel frustrating or unseen?
  

• How does it comfort you to know that God is with you in every location?

📣 Teaser for Next Week:
In Chapter 4: Breaking the Cycle Before It Breaks You, we meet Officer Godinez, a patrolman whose quiet prayer intersects with one mother’s desperate battle to protect her peace. When a knock at the door reopens the past, Kiki’s discipline is tested — and the consequences are life-altering. But through tragedy, God reveals Himself as Jehovah Delet — The Lord My Door, the One who places holy boundaries around what we hold most dear. You’ll never see the power of “no” the same way again.
