Why do we struggle to obey God? Is disobedience simply a matter of choosing the wrong thing, or is there something deeper happening in our hearts?

In this episode of Milk to Meat, we explore how sin doesn't just lead us into disobedience—it causes us to become suspicious of God's character, goodness, and intentions. From the Garden of Eden to our everyday struggles with forgiveness, generosity, holiness, and contentment, we discover that beneath much of our disobedience lies a fundamental question: Do we really trust that God's way is better?

But the gospel doesn't leave that question unanswered.

We turn our attention to Jesus Christ, the ultimate revelation of the Father's character. Through His life, ministry, death, and resurrection, Jesus reveals a God who pursues sinners, extends mercy, welcomes the outsider, and gives Himself for those He loves.

The cross becomes the foundation of our trust—not because we understand everything God does, but because Jesus has shown us what God is like.

The cross reveals God's heart. The resurrection reveals His victory. The Holy Spirit reveals His presence. And the promise of restoration reminds us that the story isn't finished.

Ultimately, obedience grows out of trust, and genuine trust grows from knowing the God who has revealed Himself in Jesus Christ.
