📌 Episode Challenge:

Ask God to show you where you’ve been parenting out of fear instead of faith. Choose one hard conversation or situation with your child and invite the Holy Spirit to lead the way. Let love be your anchor, not control.

If Jesus didn’t trust people, should we? In this episode, I break down John 2:23-25 which says Jesus didn’t trust people because he knew their hearts. I share what it means for us, how to overcome betrayal, and how to enter into relationships with others by trusting God. Find me on IG www.instagram.com/katienguyenfaithforher
