11. Teaching My Son to Drive Taught Me Everything About Trusting God
Manage episode 501372043 series 3671303
Have you ever been in a situation where you knew you had to move forward, but fear made you freeze?
In this episode, I share a funny-but-terrifying story from the passenger seat of my son’s first driving lesson — and how it taught me everything about trusting God. You’ll discover three “Just Keep Seeking” mindsets that can move you forward when fear tells you to stop, plus four practical steps to strengthen your trust in the Holy Spirit.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

You Will Not Drown – Philippians 4:13 (TPT)
Four practical steps to build and reinforce trust in God:
Start Small
Journal What You See

Why This Matters:
If you’ve struggled to trust others because of past hurts or disappointments, you might find it hard to trust God, too. But through neuroplasticity and the renewing of your mind in God’s Word, you can rewire old fear pathways into trust-filled ones. God’s faithfulness in the past is your confidence for the future — because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
