Do It Again, Daddy: Learning to Trust God Like a Child

What if the greatest obstacle to peace isn't your circumstances, but your fear?

This week I share a simple but powerful moment as I watched my son toss my granddaughter into the air. Again and again, she laughed and shouted, "Do it again, Daddy!" Never once worrying if he would drop her. Never questioning if she was safe. She simply trusted.

Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, many of us lose that kind of faith.

We trade trust for control.
Joy for worry.
Surrender for striving.
And instead of resting in the Father's arms, we spend our days trying to hold everything together ourselves.

If you've ever stayed awake replaying worst-case scenarios, worried about your children, struggled to surrender a dream, or wondered if God really has your best in mind, this episode is for you.

I will discuss:

  • Why fear often disguises itself as control, worry, and doubt
  • What Jesus meant when He told us to become like little children
  • How to trust God even when life feels uncertain
  • Three practical ways to become more childlike and rest in the Father's love
  • Friend, the God who has carried you this far is not about to drop you now.

    Maybe it's time to stop asking, "What if?" and start believing that whatever comes, your Father will catch you.
