What do we do when our world seems to crumble despite our best efforts to live a righteous life? On this episode of the God Chaser podcast, we explore some of the most pressing questions about faith and God’s interaction with us. I, Evan Evans, will be your guide as we journey through the complexities of maintaining hope in trying times and seek to understand whether our blessings are the fruits of our actions or purely acts of divine grace.

Discover how belief in Jesus goes beyond mere intellectual assent, encompassing trust, reliance, and commitment, as illustrated in John 3:16. Together, we'll explore the vital role of belief in action, as underscored in James 2:19-20, and gain confidence in the unseen through Hebrews 11:1.

We'll tackle the challenging topic of unbelief and its consequences, shedding light on John 3:17-18 and emphasizing that judgment is God's alone. Belief is not a static state but a journey that grows through hearing God's word, facing trials, prayer, and obedience, with references to Romans 10:17 and James 1:2-4. Understand the integral role of belief in aspects of Christian faith and practice, from salvation to spiritual warfare and prayer. We'll clarify the connection between faith and works, highlighting that true faith naturally results in actions, as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9 and James 2:17. Finally, explore how belief shapes our understanding of God's character and impacts daily life, inspired by scriptures like Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:6-7.
