Summary

In this powerful episode, we dive deep into the choices that define our lives: Will we trust in man and live a cursed life, or place our trust in the Lord and flourish like a tree planted by the water? Rooted in Jeremiah 17:5-8, we unpack the stark contrast between relying on human strength and surrendering fully to God’s will.

Through personal reflections, biblical examples, and real-life analogies (yes, even house-hunting nightmares!), we explore what it means to truly trust in God—not just on the surface, but with every fiber of our being.

Expect spiritual gut-checks, encouragement, and practical steps to cultivate a heart deeply rooted in faith. If you’ve ever wrestled with control, comparison, or fear of the unknown, this episode is for you.

Let’s trade fear for faith, self-reliance for holy dependence, and barren living for a life that bears lasting fruit.

So today, I encourage you to take the next step toward a fully rooted, fully surrendered, and fully blessed life in Christ.

0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome back to Midweek Rise Up, where we open our hearts to God's truth and let His word take root in our lives. I hope that you're seeing God move and work in your life. And today I want to share this very special episode with you. It's my speech from Calvary South OC at their women's conference called Bloom, hosted by Michelle Randall.
0:23.4	Michelle is one of the most precious and amazing humans that I know, and her husband, Pastor
0:28.5	John Randall, is absolutely phenomenal. I love them dearly. I love them both, and it was such an
0:34.4	honor to share this message with the women of the conference.
0:43.3	So today's episode is my speech called A Heart Rooted in Trust. I'm focusing on Jeremiah 17 verses 5 through 8. The Lord draws a striking contrast, a life that withers in the wilderness
0:50.2	when trust is placed in human strength, versus a life that flourishes by the streams of his living
0:56.2	water. So I ask the question, which life are you living? And this isn't just another message. It's
1:02.3	supposed to be a spiritual wake-up call, a moment to pause and reflect, where have you been placing
1:08.4	your trust? And when the storm hits, do you stand firm or do you
1:12.0	crumble? God is calling us to be rooted in him to trust beyond what we see and beyond what we feel
1:18.7	and beyond our own understanding. A faith that flourishes even in drought, a trust that never runs dry.
1:26.3	So I pray that this is encouragement to you to lean in,
1:29.6	to open your heart, and step into the fullness of God's promises for you and your life. Because
1:36.6	a heart rooted in him is never shaken. So I hope that you're blessed by this message. God bless you guys
1:43.0	and enjoy.
1:51.5	Thank you. So I hope that you're blessed by this message. God bless you guys and enjoy. So I'm Erica Kirk, a mother, a wife to Charlie Kirk. For those of you who know him,
1:57.1	who don't know him, he's amazing, the love of my life, runs an amazing organization called Turning Point USA.
2:04.6	And our life, yes, has been a whirlwind since November, and as you can imagine,
2:09.6	and I mean it was already a whirlwind before, but when I had the blessing of speaking to Michelle
2:15.6	prior to the conference and she was, you know, telling me
2:19.0	about the topic and what we were going to be talking about.
2:21.3	And I was like, oh my goodness, does this resonate with me?
