Last week on First Love, we explored the Eighth Day—the return to God’s original intent: His people reigning with Him from a place of rest. This week, we move to Station Two in God’s story: Trust.If rest is the posture, trust is the movement.In this powerful episode, Dr. Robyn and Dr. Nathan unpack what it means to live from the top down rather than striving from the bottom up. Through the covenant God made with Abraham—swearing by Himself in Book of Genesis 15—they reveal a stunning truth: trust is not confidence in ourselves, but total reliance upon Someone true. God doesn’t ask you to climb toward Him; He comes down and establishes His promise without your striving.Drawing from Proverbs 3:5–6 and insights from neuroscience, they explore how memory, experience, and faith work together to quiet fear and redirect the will. Trust becomes the bridge between rest and direction—between knowing and reigning.This episode is a prophetic call to abandon self-effort, correct upside-down theology, and allow God to rewrite your story from above. As you return to your first love, you won’t return to immaturity—you’ll step into a deeper, covenant-rooted love that has grown up, been tested, and now reigns with Him.
