Why is it so hard to truly trust the LORD—even when we know we should? In this episode, we unpack the deeper, ongoing struggle between our flesh and faith, and why walking by sight often feels more natural than walking by faith.

Looking at the powerful testimony of King David in Psalm 31, we explore how real trust in God isn’t rooted in comfort, circumstances, or people—but in God’s unchanging character. This episode challenges the way we approach God: Are we trusting Him for who He is, or for what we hope He’ll do? Through David’s example, we’re reminded that true faith is anchored in the holiness, power, and mercy of God—not in the people or resources around us.

If you’ve ever struggled to trust God in the middle of hardship, this conversation will help re-center your focus on the One who holds everything—and you—in His hands.

Trusting the LORD is easy to say—but much harder to live out. In this episode, we examine how our hearts often claim to trust God while secretly relying on people, resources, or circumstances for security. Looking at the powerful testimony of King David in Psalms 31:6–8, we see how real trust in the LORD is forged through hardship. David’s life shows that when everything else fails, God’s mercy, wisdom, and faithfulness are more than enough. Join us as we explore what it truly means to place our confidence in the LORD alone as we answer the question, “How Do We Know We Trust The LORD?”

People can be fickle—even believers. One moment we praise God, the next we fail one another. In this episode, we explore how the story of David and the people of Keilah shows the unpredictable nature of humanity and the unchanging faithfulness of God. Through Psalm 31, we understand why David trusted in the LORD alone and how his experience points ahead to Jesus, who was also betrayed by those He came to save. While people often fall short, God remains our true refuge, strength, and the only One worthy of our complete trust.
