We explore the power of making decisions and trusting in God's plan, even when it's hard to see the way forward. Ruth shares her experience of helping students discover God's presence in their lives and the joy of stewarding the gifts that God has given us. Join us for this inspiring conversation and let it encourage you to take that next step, trusting that God is with you every step of the way.

  • “I trust that this is what’s next; I don’t know exactly what that’s going to look like, but I’m trusting that God’s going to show me each step of the way.”
  • “It’s okay to not be perfect and to not have it all figured out right away. God is bigger than that, and I can trust Him with all of the big things and all of the little things.”
