Father and Joe E407: From Belief to Trust: Deepening Your Faith Journey

April 22, 2025 • Father Boniface Hicks and Joseph Rockey Jr

In this enlightening episode of Father and Joe, host Joe Rockey engages Father Boniface in a profound conversation about the transformation from mere belief in Jesus to a profound, unwavering trust in Him. Released in the wake of Easter, this episode examines some poignant Biblical examples of trust, such as the Roman commander's faith in Jesus' ability to heal from a distance and the woman healed by simply touching Jesus’ garment. The discussion delves into the distinct nature of trust in faith and how certain individuals in the New Testament managed to attain a level of trust that eluded even the apostles.
Explore the journey of faith as a dynamic transition from understanding and belief to an active, certain trust. Father Boniface lends insight into why some are ready to make this leap, while others remain hesitant, and what it takes for modern-day believers to emulate such absolute trust in their spiritual lives. Through stories from scripture, the lives of the saints, and shared experiences within the community, this episode encourages listeners to take tangible steps in developing this deep-seated trust.
Listeners are invited to reflect on areas of their life where they have yet to fully let Jesus in and are encouraged to work towards an integrated spiritual existence. Practical advice for incorporating Jesus into every aspect of life is provided, alongside broader spiritual insights and encouragement. Recognizing the challenge of moving beyond our compartmentalized existence, the episode paves a pathway for listeners to foster genuine trust and live a life that openly embraces Christ’s presence.
