Grace in the Grind

Cup 6 — When Faith Starts to Feel Thin


Listen Later

What do you do when your faith doesn’t feel strong anymore… but it’s not gone either?

In this Extra Shot of Grace in the Grind, we go deeper into what’s really happening beneath the surface when faith starts to feel thin. Not burnout. Not rebellion. Something quieter—and often more revealing.

We’re not just talking about behavior in this episode. We’re uncovering heart-level motivations—the beliefs, fears, and patterns that keep us carrying things God never asked us to hold.

Why do we struggle to slow down? Why do we feel like everything depends on us? And what does Scripture actually say about trust, control, and identity?

Through passages like Proverbs 4:23, Luke 6, Matthew 6, and Matthew 11, this episode exposes the difference between responsibility and self-reliance—and calls us back to a faith that rests in Christ instead of striving to replace Him.

This is a direct, honest conversation about:

  • The hidden motivations behind busyness and control
  • Why we struggle to trust God in everyday life
  • How identity gets tied to being needed
  • The cost of carrying what God never gave you
  • What real surrender actually looks like

If your faith feels quiet, stretched, or just harder than it used to—this one is for you.
