In this episode of Rooted + Woven, Deb and Stephanie hover over the story in Numbers 13 and 14. Twelve spies are sent to scout the Promised Land. Ten return paralyzed by fear, while two hold fast to faith. What separated them? A willingness to believe God and take Him at His word. Their responses echo into our own lives today. Will we believe what He has promised—even when the giants feel more real than the victory? Join us for a conversation about trust, obedience, and what it truly means to believe God in the face of fear.

Sometimes we don’t even realize the lenses we’re looking through. In this conversation, Deb and Laura talk through the cultural "isms" that subtly distort our view of God’s Word, such as pragmatism, humanism, materialism, and secularism. They reflect on how the Holy Spirit gently clears our vision and helps us see with heaven’s perspective.

In this episode, Deb shares a powerful message given at Christ Presbyterian Church, using the imagery of puzzle pieces to illustrate how the complete picture of the gospel comes together in our lives. She invites us to see how faith and belief are not just abstract ideas, but vital connections that help us walk with confidence as we trust God to complete the picture He’s forming. Whether you feel like you’re holding just a few scattered pieces or struggling to see how they fit, this message will encourage you to keep walking by faith as the whole, beautiful picture of the gospel unfolds.
