About Why Cutting Your Hair Can Be Spiritual with Hannah Croft

A tire shop bench and a few words of Spanish turn into a friendship that feels planned, and from there the conversation goes straight into the kind of faith questions most of us carry quietly: How do you know God is leading you? Why does obedience sometimes land you in a harder place? Hannah Croft, a wife and mom of three (four, two, and one), shares what it looked like to move states, live through home construction chaos, and still believe God is present when life feels unsettled.We talk about the wilderness pattern we see in Scripture and in real life: God can set you free and still let you feel stretched. That stretch becomes the place where surrender gets practical, not theoretical. We explore sacrifice through the idea of “oblation,” a pouring out of something valuable as an act of trust, and we name the tension Christians face in a culture that celebrates self above refinement. Along the way, we unpack how to pray with honesty, how to ask God to show you His love, and how Scripture can steady anxious thoughts in a single moment.Hannah also shares her testimony from college athletics: hearing a sermon on idolatry, realizing her identity was wrapped up in her hair, cutting it off as an act of surrender, and later giving her life to Christ at an FCA retreat. The conversation turns toward Christian motherhood too: grieving lost freedom, learning to guard your words, resisting the noise of social media, and finding quiet with God when the “best time” is actually the first ten minutes of nap time.If you want encouragement on hearing God’s voice, spiritual discipline, surrender, and peace in motherhood, press play.
