Seek First: Trusting God With What Follows (Matthew 6:33)
Have you ever noticed how easily good intentions can quietly turn into pressure?
You want to live faithfully. You want to be wise with your time. You want to make thoughtful choices and trust God with what’s ahead. But before long, that desire can slip into anxiety—feeling like you need a plan for provision, a plan for the future, and a plan for what comes next.
In this episode of the Habits of Hope Podcast, we slow down with Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”
Not strive. Not secure. Not solve. Seek.
This conversation explores what it really means to seek God first—not as a checklist or productivity strategy, but as a way of ordering your life around trust instead of fear. Together, Ginger and Larissa unpack how seeking first shapes our motivations, addresses anxiety with compassion, and helps us live from identity rather than urgency.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- Why seeking first is about direction, not a task
- How Jesus speaks to real, everyday worries with grace
- What God’s righteousness looks like in daily decisions and conversations
- Practical questions to help you discern your motivations
- How seeking first becomes a steady, repeatable Habit of Hope
If life feels crowded, uncertain, or heavy right now, this episode offers a simple, grounding invitation: put God first—and trust Him with what follows.
