Ever felt like you're standing in the messy middle, waiting for a sign that everything's going to be okay? (Same, friend. Same.) In today’s episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to trust God when you can’t see the whole plan—and why trying to micromanage the outcome might be the very thing holding you back. (Ouch, I know. Preaching to myself here too.)
You'll hear a few personal stories, some soul-hugging encouragement, a reminder that God is moving even when it feels like He’s on silent mode, and a few simple steps to practice faith today — not just "someday."
Plus, we’ll sprinkle in Scripture (aka God’s love notes) and a little deserted island story that might just stick with you the next time you’re tempted to miss the lifeboat He’s sending. 🚣♀️
If you're feeling stuck, anxious, or like you're carrying the whole future on your back... this one's for you.
In this episode, we chat about:-
Why it's so hard to not micromanage God (and why He doesn't need an assistant, LOL)
-
How to recognize when you're trying to control what you can't control
-
The real meaning of faith in action (hint: it’s not just sitting still)
-
Scriptures that anchor your heart when life feels fuzzy and uncertain
-
A practical step you can take today to live with more trust and less tight-grip control
-
Proverbs 3:5-6 — "Trust in the Lord with all your heart..."
-
Isaiah 55:8-9 — "For my thoughts are not your thoughts..."
-
2 Corinthians 5:7 — "For we live by faith, not by sight."
