How to Trust God Through Pain, Waiting, and Obedience – Episode 567

How to Trust God Through Pain, Waiting, and Obedience - Episode 567
In this episode, I’m sharing a conversation I had as a guest on the Salt + Light Wealth Podcast, where I sat down with the host to talk about healing, obedience, and what it really looks like to build a life and business with God. I open up about my 17-year healing journey after a career-ending injury, how God used that season to awaken the gift of healing in my life, and why obedience often requires surrendering control—even when it doesn’t make sense. We also dive into my decision to shut down a seven-figure business after God showed me He wasn’t in it, and what I’ve learned about discernment, alignment, and trusting God in seasons of rebuilding.

This conversation is honest, faith-filled, and full of encouragement for anyone navigating leadership, entrepreneurship, or a season of radical trust.

Scripture Mentioned

1 John 4:18 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.”

Romans 12:2 “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

Revelation 12:11 “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
