She unpacks the quiet but heavy belief that we have to figure life out on our own and how that functional self-reliance fuels anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. Drawing from Scripture, Rebekah reframes what it actually means to “trust God,” showing that peace isn’t found in having clarity or control, but in engaging God in the very moment we feel afraid, uncertain, or overwhelmed.This episode also redefines the idea of “trusting yourself” through a biblical lens. Rather than trusting our instincts or emotions, Rebekah invites listeners to trust that God is with them, that they can seek Him honestly, hear His voice, and obey, while resting in the promise that God redeems, redirects, and carries what we cannot. This conversation sets the foundation for a series centered on surrender, prayer, and learning to live from a place of true, practiced peace.JOIN THE WELL
