Summary

In today’s episode we’re diving deep into a theme that has defined 2024 for many of us: trusting in God. As we find ourselves in the midst of July, halfway through the year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on how faith has guided us through various challenges. Today, we’re discussing personal experiences and insights on how trust in God can be the bedrock of our lives, especially during tough times. We’re sharing stories about missed opportunities, unexpected trials, and the ultimate realization that God’s plan is often far better than our own. We also talk about how understanding God’s nature and embracing adversity can strengthen our faith. So, join us as we unpack these ideas and encourage you to find comfort and strength in trusting God’s timing and wisdom. "Our Relationship with God" Talk by D.

0:00.0	We were talking about different topics that we could cover today. There were a lot of good ideas thrown around, but this one I feel like has been kind of a theme of
0:17.5	2024 for us, trust in God, over and over. So that's what we're going to talk about today and I feel like you not I feel like you had the
0:30.3	inspiration for this so do you want to kick it off? Sure I love this topic I think it's
0:36.2	everything every time I talk to someone a friend who's struggling or challenge going through a challenge or I myself am
0:45.4	struggling or going through a challenge. There'll be this whole process of
0:49.2	walking through the issue, what it is, the ins and outs of it, how you feel about it. But at the end of the conversation
0:55.1	in talking about solution or thinking about it, it always comes down to the bedrock of trust in God.

1:02.8	Like that's essentially what if you distill or boil it all down

1:35.0	That I think is really interesting maybe if we want to pause on that just for a second
1:39.6	because I used to hear that and almost like offended is not the right word but feel bad about it like when people

1:51.4	trust him or you want to take it and I would always be like
1:53.7	no I want to I've always had ever since I can remember ever since I was a little child always
2:00.8	had a desire to do God's will and be close to him and all of those things.
2:06.0	Where I think that it actually pulls you away from trusting in God fully is when you get distracted by Satan. I think that's all it is.
2:15.1	Is by fear or by desire or temptation or you know all of his many tactics that's where I think we get diverted a lot of times
2:27.2	it's not because I wake up one day and go like I don't want to trust in God today
