Let’s be real—trusting God isn’t always easy, especially when life feels confusing, heavy, or just plain unfair. In this episode of What the Elle, I’m opening up about what it actually looks like to have faith when you're scared, to surrender control when you don’t have answers, and to choose God over fear, even when everything in you wants to shut down. We’ll talk about the pressure of trying to have it all figured out, the way the world distracts us from our faith, and how God’s timing never looks like ours—but it’s always good.
I’ll share some of my own stories, what I’ve learned from people in the Bible like Leah, and how God’s love doesn’t change—even when we feel like we’ve messed up. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still struggling, this is your reminder that you’re not alone, and God hasn’t forgotten you. This episode is for the ones who are tired, uncertain, or trying their best to hold on to hope. You don’t have to have perfect faith—just real faith
