Send us Fan MailSeek First: Trusting God With What Follows (Matthew 6:33)Have you ever noticed how easily good intentions can quietly turn into pressure?You want to live faithfully. You want to be wise with your time. You want to make thoughtful choices and trust God with what’s ahead. But before long, that desire can slip into anxiety—feeling like you need a plan for provision, a plan for the future, and a plan for what comes next.In this episode of the Habits of Hope Podcast, we slow down with Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.”Not strive. Not secure. Not solve. Seek.This conversation explores what it really means to seek God first—not as a checklist or productivity strategy, but as a way of ordering your life around trust instead of fear. Together, Ginger and Larissa unpack how seeking first shapes our motivations, addresses anxiety with compassion, and helps us live from identity rather than urgency.In this episode, you’ll hear:Why seeking first is about direction, not a taskHow Jesus speaks to real, everyday worries with graceWhat God’s righteousness looks like in daily decisions and conversationsPractical questions to help you discern your motivationsHow seeking first becomes a steady, repeatable Habit of HopeIf life feels crowded, uncertain, or heavy right now, this episode offers a simple, grounding invitation: put God first—and trust Him with what follows.🎧 Listen now and let this truth re-order your heart.Support the showSign up for Ginger’s Newsletter and the Deeper Life CollectionSupport the Podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/habitsofhopeGet Ginger’s Book: Holy in the Moment: Simple Ways to Love God and Enjoy Your Life(affiliate link)Ginger's Website: https://gingerharrington.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gingerharrington/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GingHarringtonLarissa’s Website:https://www.gr8tfulchick.com/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gr8tfulchick/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/gr8tfulchick Habits of Hope Podcast  is for informational and inspirational purposes only.
