About this episode

Chris Macy discusses how God removes our supports to teach us to trust Him alone, using the story of David.

Remove the Crutches: Trusting God When All Your Supports Are Gone | Redeeming the Time with Chris Macy In this powerful episode of Redeeming the Time, Chris Macy uses the story of David in 1 Samuel 18–21 to show how God sometimes removes every “crutch” we lean on — job, family, health, reputation, or position — so we learn to trust Him alone. Drawing from David’s life (and Psalms 56 & 34), Chris explains why discomfort and loss are often God’s tools to build real faith. When everything you’ve relied on is stripped away, will you still stand on the Rock? 📖 Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18–21, Psalm 56, Isaiah 41:10, Matthew 28:20 Hosted by Chris Macy, Minister   North Valley Church of Christ – Cave Creek, Arizona 📻 Live every Tuesday at 4:00 PM on 1010 AM KXXT (Phoenix) 📍 5413 E.
