Episode 168: Counting Stars, Trusting God

This week on Further, Brenton and Chris dig into Genesis 15 and what Abraham's story teaches us about faith that grows through struggle. They discuss how faith is both a gift God produces in us and something we actively work out, and they offer a biblical definition of faith as confident trust in a personal, trustworthy God rather than a blind leap. Chris explains the role Scripture plays in strengthening our faith, why beating ourselves up for weak faith only turns us back toward ourselves, and the difference between complaining about God and bringing our honest doubts to Him.
They also speak with compassion to those who have wrestled with doubt for years without resolution, pointing to perseverance, the encouragement of the church, and the truth that God Himself is our greatest reward. The episode closes with a challenge to prioritize worship and the means of grace, since what we give ourselves to is ultimately what shapes us.
