Season 9: Episode 5 (Livestream) - Trusting God
Manage episode 516525713 series 3310926
Start with a mustard seed, end with a sky full of stars—that’s the journey we walk through as we sit with Abraham in Genesis 15 and ask the same honest question he asked: How will I know? We explore the turning point where God answers doubt not with scolding, but with a covenant sealed by Himself. In a world obsessed with proof on demand, this story shows a God who binds Himself to His people, translating faithfulness into a language Abraham could feel and trust.
We unpack the ancient meaning of covenant, the dramatic ceremony of passing between the pieces, and why it matters that God alone walks through while Abram sleeps. That single act reframes faith from self-effort to surrender, from earning to receiving. It also points forward to Jesus and the new covenant, where Jesus takes our sin so we can inherit the promise. Along the way, we get practical about growing faith: how to follow when the map isn’t clear, how to handle missteps without quitting, and how simple obedience builds spiritual muscle over time.
For those who feel far from their first love, we offer a gentle return. The invitation isn’t to perform but to follow—to bring even mustard seed faith and watch God do the heavy lifting. If you’re craving a reset, biblical clarity, and a reminder that God finishes what He starts, this conversation is your nudge. Listen, reflect, and share with someone who needs courage to take the next step. If this spoke to you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: what promise are you choosing to trust this week?
