I am not a private processor by nature. When something breaks in me, in a relationship, or in a season of life, my first instinct is to talk it out with others. But after years of facing betrayal from several in a community I thought I could trust and being judged for who I naturally […]
There’s a moment in spring when you walk outside and something has shifted overnight. Growing happens whether or not you’re paying attention, but it’s best if you take an intentional moment to pay attention. You can’t point to the exact day it happened. The trees didn’t announce it. The ground didn’t send a notification. But […]
We often assume trust will eventually produce clarity. If we wait long enough, pray hard enough, and obey consistently enough, surely the full explanation will come. But sometimes it doesn’t. And that can be unsettling. Learning to Live Without the Full Picture Years ago, I stepped out of a ministry leadership role in which I […]
There are few things more humbling than realizing you can’t fix someone you love. We can organize, advise, pray, suggest, remind, encourage, and sometimes even plead. At the end of the day, thought, we can’t control another person’s heart. And that’s where trust gets personal. The Day I Realized I Was Trying to Be the […]
Unanswered prayer has a way of shaking what we think we know about trust. We pray believing God hears us. We expect movement. And when silence stretches on, faith can begin to feel fragile. In those moments, trusting God means we don’t rely solely on the expected answer. We should also trust His timing. His […]
Control often feels like wisdom, until it becomes exhausting. We tell ourselves we’re being responsible, proactive, prepared. But beneath the surface, control often reveals a deeper struggle with trust, especially trust in God’s timing. When Control Quietly Took Over I didn’t notice how tightly I was holding everything together until my body started keeping score. […]
Trust always sounds gentle and reassuring—until it becomes personal. We talk easily about trusting God with our future or our faith, but trust takes on a different weight when it asks us to give something up. When obedience costs comfort, clarity, or control, trust stops feeling inspirational and starts feeling risky. That’s often the moment […]
Waiting has a way of making us restless—and honest. We don’t mind trusting God when movement is visible, when progress feels measurable. But when life slows down and answers stall, trust is tested in quieter, more uncomfortable ways. Waiting exposes how deeply we rely on timing, either ours or God’s. When Waiting Felt Like Standing […]
When seasons shift, so must our trust. Summer often marks a season of transition: graduations, relocations, schedule changes, moving homes, ministry shifts, or even unexpected disruptions. While the warm weather brings a sense of adventure and freedom, it also reveals how change can unsettle us. Trusting God through transitions becomes vital for staying grounded. These […]
We all come to crossroads, moments when the future looks like a foggy path, the answers don’t come easily, and control slips through our fingers. In these places, we’re invited to lean into trusting God with the unknown. That’s where the FAITH model comes alive—Fully Aligned In Trusting Him doesn’t mean we have all the […]
