Trusting God can feel especially fragile in painful parenting seasons. For many parents, faith doesn't feel confident or clear — it feels cautious, tender, and uncertain.

In Episode 4 of the Still Faithful series, we talk honestly about what it means to stay rooted in Christ when trust feels shaky. This episode offers reassurance that fragile trust is still real trust — and that staying connected to God does not require certainty, clarity, or emotional confidence.

This conversation is for parents who are still showing up, still listening, still praying — even when faith feels quiet or hesitant.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why trust can feel fragile after prolonged pain or unanswered prayers

• The difference between being rooted and being certain

• How faith often deepens underground, unseen

• What staying rooted can look like in everyday life

• Why small acts of faithfulness matter deeply

A gentle reflection:

• Where does trust feel tender for me right now?

• What helps me stay connected to God, even when I feel unsure?

• What would it look like to trust God with just today — not everything at once?

A reminder for this week:
You don't have to trust God with the whole story.
You can trust Him with the next step.

God has entrusted this journey and your child to you.
As you remain connected to Him — even quietly — He will equip you for each next step.
