Trust. Such a simple word, yet one that carries profound complexity in our spiritual lives. When life delivers uncertainty, disappointment, or pain, trust becomes the battleground where faith either withers or flourishes.

We explore trust as "an active expectation of seeing God show up for you." Rather than listing religious duties, Jesus pointed to belief—or more accurately translated, trust—as the foundation of our relationship with God.

But we don't shy away from the hard truth: trusting is difficult. We compare broken trust to a shattered glass jar that takes time and care to reassemble. Our brains catalog painful experiences as protection mechanisms, making trust biologically challenging when similar situations arise. Add emotional wounds and spiritual warfare, and it's no wonder many of us struggle to surrender control, even to a trustworthy God.

What makes this conversation unique is our vulnerability about our own trust struggles. We talk honestly about the tension between knowing theological truths about God's character and reconciling those with painful life experiences. We acknowledge the difficult questions: How do we trust when prayers go unanswered? How do we rebuild faith after devastating loss? Listen now, and discover how even faith as small as a mustard seed can transform your relationship with a Father who is endlessly patient with your journey.
