Podcast Episode 123 – Purpose in the Pressure: Trusting God with Your Future

This conversation explores the pressure high school seniors feel as they face huge decisions—choosing a college, a major, and the direction of their future—often for the very first time. Eli talks about why this stage can feel so overwhelming, especially when students haven’t had to make major life decisions before. He encourages students to remember God’s past faithfulness, look to Scripture, and bring the deeper fears beneath their anxiety to God in prayer. He unpacks how trusting God grows through experience, hindsight, and honest dependence on Him. The discussion also highlights the importance of mentors who can speak truth, ask hard questions, and help students make wise decisions with clarity rather than fear.

Questions to Consider While Listening:

  1. When you look back at your life, where can you clearly see God’s faithfulness—even if you didn’t notice it at the time?

  2. What fears lie underneath your stress about the future, and have you brought those deeper concerns to God honestly?

  3. Who in your life can speak truth to you, challenge you, and help you make decisions with clarity instead of fear?
