🔑 TRUST ISSUES (Part 3): The Anatomy of Trust
Text: Genesis 39:1–6
Big Idea: Trust is the foundation of everything meaningful—love, truth, and transformation.
Key Phrase: Without trust, nothing good lasts.
Practice: Integrity • Consistency • Vulnerability
Ascent Step: Consistency in the Small Things
Where We’ve Been:
Week 1: We named the wounds.
Week 2: We exposed the walls we’ve built.
Week 3: Here’s the tension—walls don’t heal, but trust does.
In a world full of letdowns, trust still matters. When trust breaks, life breaks—but Jesus shows us how to restore what’s been lost.
📖 Highlights from the Message:
▶ Joseph shows us that trust isn’t rebuilt in one big moment but through daily faithfulness.
▶ Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching.
▶ Consistency is keeping small promises over time—trust equity builds in the mundane.
▶ Vulnerability is wise openness that creates real connection without oversharing.
▶ Without integrity, consistency, and vulnerability, trust can’t grow—but with them, healing begins.
