Got Questions? - NL

Connect with me here in text… tell me where you are listening. “Just trust God” sounds strong until you’re the one staring at a door that just slammed shut. We talk about what happens when you genuinely believe God led you somewhere, but the path turns confusing, lonely, and expensive, emotionally and spiritually. I share a defining season from seminary where an advisory group has the power to end my plans, and how that moment exposes the real question many of us carry: not “Do I trust God?” but “What does trusting God look like right now?” From there, we step into Genesis and follow Jacob as God tells him to return home with no explanation of the outcome. Jacob obeys, then hears that Esau is coming with 400 men. Fear surges, plans get made, prayers get honest, and Jacob reaches the point where community cannot go further for him. That tension helps us name something crucial about Christian guidance and discernment: circumstances and voices can bring information, but only the Shepherd can give orientation. We also sit with Genesis 32 and the night Jacob wrestles for a blessing. Wrestling is not faithlessness; sometimes it is what faith looks like when the future is unclear. If you’re navigating a calling, ministry leadership, a career decision, a hard season in your family, or a moment where you feel left alone, this conversation offers language for prayer and a practical way forward. If it helps you, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s stuck, and leave a review with the question you’re wrestling with right now. Support the show www.Turning180.com
