What does it look like to trust God while still taking action? How do we find rest when life feels overwhelming, and how do we respond when things don't go according to plan?

In Episode 9 of The Overtime Podcast, hosts Chris Perstrope and Darren Casper sit down with Brett to talk about trusting God's direction, finding spiritual rest, and living a life SENT by the power and compassion of our loving God.

Drawing from Isaiah 30:15, we explore four essential practices for following God: repentance, rest, quietness, and trust. Through the story of King Hezekiah, we see that trusting God doesn't mean sitting back and doing nothing. Hezekiah restored worship in Judah, strengthened Jerusalem's defenses, and helped secure the city's water supply. His story challenges us to pursue God's direction while faithfully using the skills, resources, and opportunities He's given us.

Brett also shares his personal testimony and how God has led him throughout his life. Together, we discuss how to handle failure, navigate uncertainty, and bring the hope of Jesus into the places where we spend most of our time.

Because living SENT isn't just about what happens at church on Sunday. It's about how we live, love, work, and point people toward Jesus every day.

BIG IDEA: A SENT LIFE is driven by the POWER and the COMPASSION of our LOVING GOD.

VERSE OF THE WEEK: Isaiah 30:15

“In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.”

God doesn't call us to choose between trusting Him and taking action. He invites us to find our strength in Him as we faithfully pursue His direction. We can work diligently without relying on our own strength, rest without becoming passive, and face uncertainty with confidence in the God who meets us where we are.

As we step into our everyday fields—our workplaces, homes, neighborhoods, and relationships—we have opportunities to share Jesus' compassion through our words, our prayers, and our actions.

Welcome to The Overtime Podcast—where we go beyond Sunday, dive deeper into the message, hear real stories, and talk about what it looks like to follow Jesus in everyday life.
