What Do You Do When Obedience Feels Unfair?

Obedience to God isn’t always easy — sometimes it feels heavy, unfair, and isolating.

If you’ve ever felt like the weight of obedience is too much, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about what it means to stay faithful when your flesh cries out for more — and how God meets us in that place.
