Trusting God When Faithfulness Doesn’t Feel Fruitful.

In this episode of Spirit Filled Girl Talk, we explore the theme of radical obedience and its significance in our spiritual growth. Have you ever observed that trusting God when your faithfulness doesn’t yield visible results can be challenging? You’re in good company. We’re diving into how radical obedience doesn’t always manifest in immediate outcomes but is always acknowledged by God. We’ll discuss what the Bible teaches about obedience versus sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22), and why partial obedience can still be disobedience. Discover how to remain steadfast in your faith when things don’t seem to make sense, as we reflect on Proverbs 3:5–6, and understand the critical difference between faithfulness and obedience. This conversation is essential for anyone seeking encouragement in their Christian walk, emphasizing that even unseen obedience contributes to our spiritual journey.

✨ Episode Highlights:

1. Obedience Over Sacrifice We unpack how obedience is about posture, not performance—and how delayed or partial obedience, like Saul’s, reveals misplaced priorities. Radical obedience starts where logic ends.

2. When Obedience Doesn’t Make Sense

Even when God’s direction seems illogical—like Peter letting down the nets again—it’s our trust in His voice that leads to blessing. Obedience doesn’t require understanding; it requires surrender.

3. Faithfulness Anchors, Obedience Moves

You may not see the fruit, but your obedience is never wasted. We explore how faithfulness and obedience work hand-in-hand to shape your character and deepen your walk with God.
