In this open and inspiring episode of Crazy Unbelievable Faith, Brian and Kersha sit down with the entire Bryant family—a homeschooling, creative powerhouse. They pull back the curtain on their journey of writing and publishing their family book, Trusting Timothy. This isn't just an author interview; it's a real-life case study in collaboration, patience, and trusting God's timing over a human deadline. The Bryants get candid, sharing stories of family disagreements (solved with rock-paper-scissors!), the struggle of "too many chefs in the kitchen," and the long, rewarding process of bringing a God-given idea to life. The conversation dives deep into the tension between our desire for an "easy button" and the slow, formative work God does in the process. From the frustration of a long outline (Kersha can relate!) to the profound joy of holding a finished book, this episode is a blueprint for anyone who feels called to a creative project but is overwhelmed by the "how." It’s a must-listen for families learning to work together and anyone needing encouragement to "just go for it." This is a powerful reminder that the process is often just as important as the product, and God's timeline is always perfect.

🛑 Reflect + Apply: Questions to Ask Yourself

• Who or what is truly in the driver’s seat of your life right now: fear, control, or obedience?
• Think of a time you tried to force an outcome. Looking back, can you identify any blessings or lessons you may have missed in the process?
• Are you more afraid of failure or success? How might that fear be keeping you from pursuing a dream or answering a call from God?
• Where in your life do you feel like the "wheels are turning, but the vehicle's not moving"? What is one small step of obedience you can take this week?
• Are you so busy that you can't hear opportunity knocking? How can you intentionally "slow down" to better hear from God?
• Does your daily life reflect a faith that is moving forward courageously, or one that is parked in a state of fear or stagnation?

Scripture Focus:

This episode is a practical application of key biblical principles, including:

• Trusting the Process (Proverbs 3:5-6): The discussion about not "leaning on your own understanding" in creative disagreements is a direct echo of this call to trust God's guidance over our own.
• God's Word as the Solution (Psalm 119:105): The core message of the Bryants' book—that God's Word is the ultimate guide—is a practical application of the Word being a "lamp unto our feet."
• Patience in the Work (Galatians 6:9): The family's emphasis on the long, hard-working process reflects the biblical promise not to "grow weary in doing good," knowing we will reap a harvest if we don't give up.
• Our Unique Calling (1 Corinthians 12:4-6): The advice to avoid comparison and "do what God has given you" points to the truth that there are different kinds of gifts and service, but the same Lord.
