Episode Details

God calls us to step forward in faith, even when we don’t see the full path ahead. Hannah Benson reflects on Abraham’s journey, emphasizing that trusting God often requires waiting, patience, and obedience despite uncertainty. Abraham’s story illustrates that God’s promises are trustworthy, even when fulfillment seems slow or beyond human logic. By believing God’s Word and following His direction, we can experience His faithfulness and become a blessing to others.

God called Abraham (then called Abram) to leave his homeland and everything he knew and was familiar with to go to a land that He would show him.

How did Abraham feel about that? Was he afraid at all? Excited? Probably both.
