How to Live with Confidence in a World Full of Letdowns

Trust is hard to come by these days. We’ve learned to be cautious… with people, with institutions, even with our own decisions. We've been let down enough to keep our guard up. But the problem is, life doesn’t work well when you can’t trust anyone or anything. You end up isolated, anxious, and always second-guessing.

That’s why we’re kicking off a new series called Trust Issues—a practical look at how to live with wisdom, confidence, and peace in a world where trust feels broken. Through the life of Joseph, we see how God rebuilds what’s broken, restores what’s lost, and invites us to become people who live differently in a world full of letdowns. If you’re tired of feeling guarded all the time or stuck wondering who you can rely on, this series will give you tools to build stronger relationships, make better decisions, and find something solid to stand on—even when everything else feels uncertain.
