Have you ever been in a season where you knew God's promises in your head, but your heart felt completely numb to them?

Maybe you've read "I will never leave you nor forsake you" but felt utterly alone. Or someone reminded you that "God works all things together for good" and you wanted to scream because nothing felt good at all.

When you can't feel God's promises and your faith feels too weak to carry you, it's easy to wonder if you're failing spiritually. If you've ever struggled to believe what you know is true, this episode will show you how borrowed faith can carry you through seasons when your own faith feels depleted.

Rachel explores how trust is a choice, not a feeling, and reveals how God designed us to lean on others when our own faith feels weak.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • Why it's okay to lean on someone else's faith when yours feels weak
  • How the Israelites in Babylon needed Jeremiah to speak God's promises over them
  • Three practical ways to stand on God's promises when you can't feel them
  • The biblical foundation of borrowing faith found in Revelation 12:11
  • A personal story of how Rachel carried her husband's faith during his unemployment and how that taught them both that trust is a choice

Rachel also shares how her new "Praying the Promises of God: A 52-Week Guided Prayer Journal" can provide borrowed faith from God's own Word when your emotions don't align with truth.
