The Next Mountain – Season 2 Finale

When the fire clears, you’re left standing - lighter, stronger, refined.
The ashes settle, and for the first time, you can see beyond the smoke.
And there it is: the next mountain.

Looking Back

Season 2 of MTN.fire has been about refinement:

storms that shook us,
anchors that held us,
fires that burned away what wasn’t real.

And through it all, God was faithful.

We’ve seen how trials test us, but also how they prepare us.
Every step - even the hardest ones - leads somewhere.

Mountains in Scripture

Mountains aren’t just scenery in the Bible.
They are places of testing, encounter, and revelation.

Mount Sinai - “The mountain trembled with fire and smoke as God gave His covenant” (Exodus 19:18–20).
Calvary - where Jesus carried the cross, and salvation was secured (Luke 23:33).
The Mount of Transfiguration - where Jesus shone in glory before His disciples (Matthew 17:1–2).

Every mountain carried weight. Every mountain changed everything.

Your Next Mountain

Psalm 121:1–2 reminds us:

“I lift up my eyes to the hills-where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.”

So let me ask you: what’s your next mountain?

Maybe it’s freedom - breaking from old habits or addictions.
Maybe it’s healing - walking out of grief, trauma, or wounds.
Maybe it’s calling - stepping into what God has whispered to your heart.
Or maybe it’s faith itself - daring to believe again.

Whatever it is, the same God who stood with you in the fire will walk with you up the mountain.

The Mountain of Perspective

From the valley, all you can see are obstacles.
From the climb, all you can feel is the struggle.
But from the peak, you see how far God has carried you.

James 1:2–4 says:

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds,
for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.
And let steadfastness have its full effect,
that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

And Job, after his suffering, declared:

“My ears had heard of you, but now my eyes have seen you.” (Job 42:5)

That’s what the mountain does. It takes what you’ve heard about God and turns it into something you’ve lived.

The Next Mountain for MTN.fire

From the beginning, MTN.fire was never just a podcast.
It’s a vision. A calling. A fire God lit inside me.

The next mountain is boldness.
It’s courage.
It’s living unashamed.

Season 3 will be The Reckoning: Unashamed - a call to live with bold faith in a world that pushes back.

Final Word

Your story doesn’t end in the valley.
It doesn’t end in the storm.
It doesn’t end in the fire.

God doesn’t leave us where we are - He calls us higher.
The mountain is waiting.
