In this episode of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast, I walk through the biblical path of trusting God in everyday life  not just in theory, but in real decisions, reactions, and priorities. As you listen, take a moment to reflect on these areas:  When something stressful happens, where do you instinctively go first,  to God, your thoughts, or outside opinions?  Are you anchoring your thinking in Scripture when anxiety rises, or allowing fear and emotion to lead your decisions?  When the Holy Spirit nudges you toward forgiveness, humility, or obedience, do you respond quickly  or do you delay? These small, daily decisions reveal where trust is truly being placed. In this episode, I bring together the biblical story we’ve been exploring over the last few weeks and show you how to trust God in practical, daily ways. From the Garden of Eden to the Cross, Scripture shows us that trust has always been at the center of our relationship with God. And today, that same invitation still stands for us. But trust is not abstract theology. It’s a daily posture. Go to God first before reacting to stress Anchor your thinking in Scripture before fear gets loud Respond in obedience when the Holy Spirit leads Refuse to romanticize the past when God has made you new Accept that faith and obedience will stretch your comfort I also introduce the RISE Framework, a biblical pathway I teach in my Christian life coaching for women. This framework helps Christian women move from overwhelm and scattered priorities to a Kingdom-minded life anchored in identity, courage, and obedience. If you’ve been wanting a deeper understanding of how to trust God daily, this episode will give you simple, scriptural steps to begin. Next Steps Step 1 Begin practicing one small act of trust this week. Before reacting to stress, pause and pray: “Lord, I trust You. Show me my next step.” Step 2 Continue growing in your Christian mindset, faith, and obedience by listening to previous episodes of The Reclaimed Woman Podcast. Step 3 If you’re ready for deeper guidance and clarity, apply for the Reclaimed Life Coaching Intensive, where we walk through the RISE Framework together and bring alignment to identity, priorities, relationships, and the culture of your home.
