603 // Learning to Trust God When You Don’t Understand (Bible Study & Devotional)
Description
Hey Sis! 🎙️
Today’s episode is a midweek heart check and a powerful reminder that even when life feels dark or confusing, God is still growing something beneath the surface. We’re continuing our study of John 12:23 –26, where Jesus uses the imagery of a seed to show that our new life would only unfold after His death on the cross—and that even in loss or uncertainty, His purpose is still unfolding.
We’ll also dive into Day 3 of T.D. Jakes’ “Crushing: When God Turns Pressure into Power” to explore what it means to truly trust God when the process feels painful. Through scripture, reflection, and prayer, we’ll be reminded that the presence of pain is not a prophecy of destruction, but a sign of preparation. If you’ve ever wrestled with trusting God’s timing or questioned what He’s doing in the unseen, this episode will meet you right there—with truth, encouragement, and peace for your soul.
