Ever felt your heart skip a beat when it's time to trust someone else with your hard-earned savings? Perhaps you'd feel more secure stashing it under your mattress? Well, you're not alone. Welcome to our mini-series “Transferring Trust,” where we delve into that unnerving sensation of handing our financial reins to another – in this case, God himself. We start off with a light-hearted analogy of reluctantly eating Brussels sprouts and liver, then progressively delve into the deeper challenges of entrusting our financial security to the divine.

The Biblical story of 1 Kings 17 serves as a backdrop to our discussion of shifting our trust from our worldly provisions to God, the ultimate provider. Here, we get a vivid picture of how our lives can be turned topsy-turvy when God steps in as our financial guide. It's a lesson in faith, trust, and the kind of growth that can happen when we believe in divine providence.

We then explore the narratives of Elijah and the widow of Zarephath, and Simon Peter and Jesus, delving into themes of divine timing, generosity, and coexistence of faith and doubt. These stories illustrate how trust in God's timing and provision can be both a challenge and a source of unexpected blessing. If you've ever grappled with handing over financial trust, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Prepare to be empowered as we journey through the rocky terrain of financial faith and discover the treasures that await when we choose to trust in God's provision.
