In this episode of *Those Who Trust*, Abigail dives into a challenging but deeply important conversation about authority, obedience, and the posture of a Christ‑centered life. Drawing from **1 Peter 2:13–17** and **Romans 13:1–7**, she explores what it means to honor the leaders God has placed over us — even when we don’t agree with every decision they make.

This episode unpacks:

- Why **all authority comes from God**, not human systems

- How Christians are called to obey laws and leaders as an act of obedience to Christ

- The difference between blind loyalty and biblical submission

- How our honorable lives can silence accusations and point people to Jesus

- Why believers should be **actively involved** in the political process to influence change with wisdom and integrity

Abigail & Matt remind us that honoring authority isn’t about politics — it’s about discipleship. It’s about living in a way that reflects God’s character, respects others, and keeps our conscience clear before Him.

If you’re wrestling with how to navigate faith and government in a complicated world, this conversation will ground you, challenge you, and encourage you to walk in truth with humility and courage.

Abigail is back with David for a New Year episode that’s equal parts fun, reflective, and spiritually grounding. They kick things off with lighthearted questions about random skills, unexpected goals, and the verses they’re anchoring their year in — but quickly move into the deeper stuff: God’s faithfulness, spiritual growth, and what it really looks like to follow His lead in a new season.

Together, they explore:

- Where they saw God move most clearly last year

- The spiritual disciplines they want to grow in

- How to begin the journey of letting God lead your steps

- Practical ways to build healthy rhythms with Scripture, prayer, and community

- Why stewardship matters — from eating well and exercising to embracing rest and balance

As the episode wraps, Abigail and David talk about the annual church fast: what fasting is, why it matters, and how it’s shaping their hearts this year.

If you’re stepping into the new year wanting to grow, reset, or simply draw closer to God, this conversation will meet you right where you are and help you take your next step with confidence and trust.
