Step Into Bold Faith: Grow closer to God & Walk with Jesus
Welcome to Step Into Bold Faith — a podcast for young women who are ready to grow closer to God through building a real relationship with Him, and walk confidently with Jesus!
I'm your host, Whitney Gardner, and I share real-life reflections, practical resources, and answer honest questions that don't require you to be further ahead or advanced in your knowledge of Scripture. You will leave feeling educated, inspired, and motivated on your spiritual journey!
I'm also inviting you to join a community of Christian besties who are ready to grab their Bibles, open their hearts, & live a Christ-centered life inside the Collective linked in the show notes!
Psalm 16:11 – “You reveal the path of life to me; in your presence there is abundant joy; at your right hand are eternal pleasures.”
This show is partnered with Five Thirteen Media, a Kingdom-driven media company built on Matthew 5:13.

9. Obeying God Even When It's Hard
In this episode of Step Into Bold Faith, I talk about the power of obedience — especially when following God feels uncomfortable or uncertain.
I explain how God often gives direction that challenges our comfort zones and calls us to trust Him fully. Through scripture, prayer, and personal reflection, I unpack what it means to surrender and live in alignment with His will.
If you’ve ever struggled to let go of your own plans or wondered why obedience feels so difficult, this episode will remind you that surrender always leads to transformation, and that true peace comes when we walk in step with God, even when the path ahead isn’t clear.
If you’ve been asking questions like…
- How do I know if I’m really obeying what God is asking me to do?
- Why does obedience feel so uncomfortable sometimes?
- How can I learn to trust God’s direction when it doesn’t make sense?
- What does it look like to live a life fully surrendered to Him?
- How can obedience lead to more peace and purpose in my life?
Then this episode is for you!
Here's how you can continue to grow closer to God & walk with Jesus:
