What To Do When Trusting God Feels Impossible

What To Do When Trusting God Feels Impossible

Author: Celtic Preacher Glenda J Wilson April 23, 2026 Duration: 25:27
There are moments when trusting God feels almost impossible—when doubt grows louder than faith. You’re not alone. Even Jesus’ closest followers wrestled with fear, uncertainty, and questions. Trusting a God we cannot see has never been easy. But doubt doesn’t have to destroy faith. It can refine it—leading to a deeper, more resilient trust in God.  John 20 Thomas

In a world that often feels disconnected from ancient wisdom, the Celtic Preacher podcast offers a grounded, weekly conversation. Hosted by Glenda J Wilson, this series explores the rich, sometimes challenging, teachings of the Bible, framing them not as distant historical artifacts but as vibrant, practical guides for modern living. The discussions avoid theological jargon, focusing instead on the core human experiences of faith, doubt, love, and purpose found within scripture. Each episode feels like a thoughtful chat, unpacking stories and parables to reveal their enduring relevance for our relationships, work, and inner lives. This isn't about lofty sermons but about finding tangible connection and quiet reflection. Whether you have a long-standing faith practice or are simply exploring spiritual questions, the Celtic Preacher provides a thoughtful and accessible space. You'll hear a perspective that values depth over dogma, inviting listeners to consider how these age-old lessons can bring clarity and compassion to today's complexities. It’s a podcast for anyone seeking a moment of thoughtful pause and a deeper, more relatable engagement with spiritual life.
