Listen "Foundational Faith - Pastor Seth Shaw"
Episode Synopsis
What if the very thing holding us back from experiencing God's fullness isn't a lack of effort, but simply where we've placed our faith? This powerful message takes us deep into the nature of mustard seed faith, revealing that Jesus wasn't talking about the size of our faith, but rather the type of faith we possess. Drawing from Luke 1:37's declaration that God's word will never fail, we're challenged to examine whether our faith rests in our own abilities and circumstances, or in Christ alone. The mustard seed becomes a profound metaphor for spiritual growth: packed with potential, growing both upward in visible fruit and downward in hidden roots, drought-resistant because it finds water in the depths rather than depending on surface conditions. We discover that true faith isn't about controlling outcomes or measuring our spiritual capacity, but about planting our lives entirely in Christ and allowing Him to transform us from the inside out. The disciples in the storm forgot that Jesus was in their boat, just as we often forget that Christ dwells within us and has placed purpose over our lives that no circumstance can destroy. This isn't about waiting years to become mature Christians; transformation begins the moment we genuinely surrender, because faith planted in Christ takes root immediately. The question becomes: are we still holding our lives in our own hands, or have we planted ourselves where we were purposed to grow?
