Listen Later

In the season 1 finale of Faith Unfiltered, Adrienne and Celena tackle one of the most challenging aspects of faith: obedience to God. They share their struggles with letting go of a transactional mindset and explore what it truly means to trust God without expecting anything in return.

If you’ve ever questioned why obedience sometimes feels confusing—or have wrestled with your relationship with God—this episode will resonate deeply. Adrienne and Celena bring raw honesty and personal stories to the table to encourage you to shift from seeking short term rewards to seeking eternal connection.

What’s Inside:

Redefining Obedience

Adrienne shares how her word for the year challenged her in unexpected ways. She reflects on the realization that obedience isn’t about ticking a box or earning God’s favor—it’s about deepening trust and connection with Him.

Avoiding a Transactional Faith

Together, Adrienne and Celena unpack the dangers of viewing God as a giver of rewards for good behavior. They explore how this mindset can hinder spiritual growth and shift the focus away from God’s character.

Trust in the Messy Middle

The conversation gets real as the hosts discuss how obedience can often feel like walking through uncertainty without visible fruit. Adrienne opens up about the struggle to surrender control and trust God’s plan, even when the payoff isn’t clear.

A Closer Walk With God

Through their dialogue, Adrienne and Celena encourage us to lean into God’s character, embrace the discomfort of waiting and find peace in knowing that obedience is more about relationship than results.

Adrienne and Celena challenge us to move beyond the idea of a transactional faith and instead embrace obedience as an act of trust, love and relationship with God. Even in the waiting, God is working to mold us into the people He’s called us to be.

When we let go of the need for immediate outcomes, we open ourselves to the deeper purpose. This episode is a powerful reminder that trusting Him in the unknown isn’t a sign of weakness but an opportunity to grow in faith.
