#38 | To Believe: What Does It Actually Mean?

from Created to Be Hosted by FCA at Mississippi State

In this episode of the Created to Be podcast, Darius, Brandi, and Bethany continue their conversation around “What Matters” and take a deeper look at the word "believe." They explore the difference between superstition and biblical belief, the human desire for control, and what it means to trust Jesus rather than trying to create a desired outcome through our own efforts. Questions discussed in this episode include: If we are saved from sin and death and saved to life, what does it actually look like to live from that reality? Are we practicing spiritual disciplines because we are trying to be saved—or because we are already saved? And what happens when belief moves beyond simply knowing something is true to actually trusting and relying on God? Along the way, they talk about performance, works, gratitude, spiritual disciplines, God’s character, seasons of growth, and learning to trust Him with both the big things and the little details of everyday life.
