I’m Ready To Trust | Surrender pt. 3

About this episode

This episode explores the biblical reality of trust in God amidst personal struggles and grief.

We’ve all heard the phrase “just trust God,” but in the middle of a crisis, that can feel more like a dismissal than a solution. Does trusting God mean we have to pretend we aren’t hurting? Does it mean we stop taking responsibility for our lives? In the third installment of our "Surrender" series, we’re stripping away the religious clichés to look at the raw, biblical reality of what it means to live a life of trust. From the "tear bottle" of Psalm 56 to the wide-open freedom of the Garden of Eden, we explore: The Sanctity of Grief: Why God doesn't want you to "get over it," but rather wants to meet you in it. Tests vs. Temptations: How to discern if your struggle is a setup for failure or a strengthening of your faith. The Mystery of the Will: How to stop living in "decision paralysis" and start walking in the "permissive will" and freedom God designed for you. If you’ve ever felt like your faith was a tightrope you were bound to fall off of, this episode is for you. It’s time to trade your "performance" for His "protection." — To connect, learn more or donate, visit gravetopchurch.com Follow us on Instagram…
