Inspired by a powerful message from Dr. Pat Briney, Kimberly and John dig into one of the most convicting questions a believer can face: If your trust in God isn't total, is it really trust at all? Spoiler alert— the Bible says “no.” And honestly, our stress levels, our backup plans, and our furrowed eyebrows in the middle of a hard morning are telling on us whether we realize it or not.

From Peter stepping out of the boat to Paul waiting blind in Damascus for three days to Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego standing firm in front of a blazing furnace—the pattern is the same. Partial trust is not trust at all. We must be “all in” if we want to reap the marvelous benefits of life in God. The Bible makes it clear that the difference between “partial trust” (whatever that is) and fully trusting is a life that looks like a shriveled shrub dying in the desert verses a fruitful tree by the river. My friend, we either trust God enough to step into the furnace—or we don’t. 

This episode gives honest, practical, and deeply encouraging tools for those of us who have prayed Proverbs 3:5-6 in the morning and then white-knuckled our way through a crisis by 10 AM.
