Does this sound like you?

  • You're holding it all together on the outside but running on empty on the inside — and nobody really knows.
  • You'd call yourself a person of faith, but somewhere in the chaos of life, you stopped actually bringing things to God.
  • You keep saying you trust Him, but when you look at what you're white-knuckling in your life, the list is long.
  • You consider yourself an open book — but there's one chapter you keep closed, even with the people closest to you.
  • You feel alone, not because people aren't around, but because you've decided for them what they can and can't handle from you.


In this episode:

This one came straight out of Passion Week. While reading through Luke day by day, one verse stopped everything — Luke 22:24, where the disciples go from hearing that one of them will betray Jesus, to arguing about who among them is the greatest. Almost in the same breath.

It's easy to shake your head at them. Until you realize you do the same thing.

After one of the hardest seasons our family has ever walked through — an emergency surgery that had doctors unsure if Andrew would make it, a wedding, and an unexpected death all back to back — I finally sat down for a business meeting with God. And what came out of it cracked me open.

I wasn't trusting Him. Not really. I was carrying everything — my marriage, my kids, my business, my image — and calling it faith while quietly cutting God out because I was too busy keeping it all together for Him to actually step in.

This episode is about what it really looks like to trust God with the thing you're holding the hardest. Not the bumper sticker version. The kind that costs you something.
