Over the past few months, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been unpacking one of the most essential realities of the Christian life: faith. Not vague optimism. Not blind hope. But a God-given way of living that reshapes everything.

In this fourth and final episode of What Even Is Faith?, Paul and Shelby bring the series to a close by exploring how real faith grows in the struggles and joys of everyday life.

Faith isn’t just a belief. It’s a way of seeing, living, and trusting God in every circumstance. That’s what Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been exploring in their ongoing series on The Connecting Podcast: What Even Is Faith?

In part three, they dig even deeper into what it looks like to live out authentic faith in everyday life. 

“The righteous shall live by faith.”

This foundational verse from Habakkuk 2:4—echoed again in Romans, Galatians, and Hebrews—calls us to consider what true faith really means. That’s why Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott are sitting down for a four-part series exploring the question: What even is faith?

Today’s episode is part two of that conversation on The Connecting Podcast.

“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1).

But what exactly is faith? And what does it look like to live by faith—not just in the big, dramatic moments of life, but in the ten thousand small, ordinary moments that fill every day?

That’s the focus of this episode of The Connecting Podcast, the first in a multi-part series where Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott dive deep on the subject of faith.

Over the past few episodes of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been exploring what it means to live as everyday evangelists—ordinary people sharing an extraordinary gospel in everyday moments.

In this fourth and final episode, they wrap up their conversation on evangelism by offering practical tools and biblical encouragement to help you boldly share your faith wherever God has placed you.

Whether you're new to faith or a seasoned believer, we all need fresh courage and clarity in this vital calling.

Over the past few episodes of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott have been exploring what it looks like to live as an everyday evangelist, someone who naturally and intentionally shares the hope of the gospel in the rhythms of daily life.

In this third installment, Paul and Shelby dive even deeper into the heart of evangelism, offering fresh encouragement and practical insight for reaching the people God has placed around you.

Whether you’ve been sharing your faith for years or you’re just beginning to step out in this area, our prayer is that this ongoing series equips you with gospel courage and compassion for everyday conversations.

On the last episode of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott began a conversation about what it means to be an Everyday Evangelist—a passionate follower of Jesus who shares the gospel in the ordinary moments of life with friends, family, coworkers, and neighbors.

In today’s episode, Paul and Shelby continue that conversation, offering practical encouragement to help you connect the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life, specifically for those who don’t yet know Him.

It’s our prayer that this multi-part series will inspire and equip you to boldly share the Good News right where God has placed you.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 5:14–16).

What does it look like to live as light in your neighborhood, shining the bright truth of Jesus to those living in darkness? In this new episode of The Connecting Podcast, Paul Tripp and Shelby Abbott begin a conversation about evangelism and how we can share the Good News with our non-believing friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers.
