What do you do when God asks you to surrender something that feels like safety? In this episode, I sit down again with my friend Amanda to talk about trust in God when obedience feels costly and uncertain. We share what it looked like for her to leave a high paying job, step into a long waiting season, and keep walking by faith in real life even when the numbers did not add up.
Amanda opens up about the pruning that happened in her heart. She talks honestly about anger, the pull toward comfort, and the kind of spiritual growth that often comes through pressure. We also talk about why community matters, how to guard what you are letting into your mind and spirit, and how Scripture can steady you when you are walking through a valley.
If you are in a season of uncertainty, I hope this conversation helps you take one next step. God is trustworthy, even when the path feels confusing.
If you have a question or want to share what you are walking through, reach out.
