Episode 254 - Faith Lessons Learned the Hard Way
šļø Episode 254: Faith Lessons Learned the Hard Way
Letās be honestāmost of our faith lessons didnāt come from a comfy Bible study with great snacks.
They came from mistakes, heartbreak, criticism, parenting panic, and moments where walking away felt like failureā¦ until it didnāt.
In this episode, Cathrine and Tracy get real about the faith lessons that only come the hard wayāand why we wouldnāt trade them now. š
āØ What We Talk About
š Cathrineās Faith Lessons
Lessons learned through personal experience (and a peek at Abrahamās journey of faith)
What it looks like to obey God when the outcome is unclear
Trusting God when the promise feels delayed ā³
š Tracyās Faith Lessons
Faith forged through real life, real pain, and real growth
Lessons inspired by the life of Paulāespecially learning faith through suffering, criticism, and surrender
Discovering that obedience doesnāt always look impressiveā¦but itās always powerful
š Big Themes We Dig Into
š¶ Trust & Parenting
Letting go of control and trusting that it will all work out.
And reminding ourselves:
If itās not worked out yetā¦ itās not the end.
š¬ How to Respond to Criticism Without Losing Your Mind
Sometimes the most spiritual response is simply:
š āThank you for sharing.ā
(No arguing. No spiraling. No subtweeting š
)
šŖ Knowing When to Let Go and Walk Away
Some relationships, conversations, or situations arenāt meant to be carried forever.
(Yes, weāre talking about just letting go. Ā š)
š Scriptures We Reference
James 1:3 ā Faith tested produces perseverance
Hebrews 11:1 ā Faith is confidence in what we hope for, assurance about what we do not see
šÆ Call to Action (CTA)
š Take a few minutes this week to reflect:
What have you learned the hard way?
How has God used struggle to shape your faith?
Can you pause and say thank youāeven for the hard lessons?
Gratitude changes everything. š
If this episode encouraged you, made you laugh, or made you feel seenāshare it with a friend whoās learning faith the hard way too.
Because youāre not behindā¦ youāre being formed. šāØ
