In this episode, Pastor Greg and Tonna continue the conversation from Sunday's message, exploring the story of Jonathan in 1 Samuel 14 and what it means to step forward in faith, even when the outcome isn't guaranteed. They discuss the difference between confidence that's rooted in trusting God and arrogance that's rooted in trusting ourselves, and how God calls us to prepare, persevere, and remain faithful in the middle of uncertainty.
