Why Divorced Dads Believe in God But Don't Trust Him — And What That's Costing You
from Divorced Dads of America: The Rebuild · host Anthony Thompson, Founder of Divorced Dads of America
This week on Sunday Table, the Sunday faith segment from Divorced Dads of America, Anthony Thompson makes the case that faith isn't belief — faith is trust, and most divorced dads have plenty of the first and almost none of the second. Anthony shares his own financial rebuild after divorce, a stretch where nothing he tried seemed to work and his mind kept insisting it never would, even on the days it actually was, and how he learned to trust God one day at a time instead of demanding a ten-year guarantee. Key Takeaways: Understand why believing God exists isn't the same as trusting Him with your actual life. Learn how Anthony rebuilt financially after divorce by trusting God one day at a time instead of demanding a ten-year guarantee. See what Hebrews 11:6 actually says about faith — and why it's about trust, not just belief. Hear what A.W. Tozer and George Müller taught about the direct link between faith and anxiety. Walk away with one practical action that proves trust, not just belief.

A.W. Tozer, The Pursuit of God — "Faith is the gaze of a soul upon a saving God." George Müller (widely attributed) — "The beginning of anxiety is the end of faith, and the beginning of true faith is the end of anxiety." This Week's Idea: Name one thing God has already told you to do that you haven't done — and do it this week. Rattle Question: Your kid remembers something you agreed to two months ago, half-asleep. Does your life prove you remember what God told you — or did you forget the moment it stopped being convenient?
