Living By Sight, Not By Faith

In this episode, we explore how gospel forgetfulness can show up in our faith. While we often say we live by faith and not by sight, in reality, we can struggle to trust God when we lack control or certainty. We discuss the common reasons we resist stepping out in faith—our desire for control, fear of failure, and the cost of obedience. Using biblical examples like Abraham and Peter, we see both the challenges of walking in faith and the grace available when we falter.
Main Takeaways:

• Living by faith means trusting God even when we lack full understanding or assurance.
• A desire for control can lead us to take matters into our own hands rather than waiting on God.
• Fear—whether fear of failure, others' opinions, or the cost of obedience—often keeps us from stepping out in faith.
• Biblical figures like Abraham and Peter remind us that faith is a journey, and God’s grace is present even when we struggle.
