What does it mean to trust God when His plans make absolutely no sense to us? Mary, the mother of Jesus, offers us a masterclass in faith that doesn't depend on understanding.

During this Women's History Month episode, we dive into the often-overlooked story from Luke 2 where Mary and Joseph lose track of twelve-year-old Jesus at the Passover festival. When they finally discover Him teaching in the temple, Jesus responds with the puzzling words: "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" Scripture explicitly tells us Mary didn't understand what He meant—yet she "treasured all these things in her heart."

This treasuring practice becomes our focus as we explore how collecting moments of God's faithfulness (like gathering seashells along the shore) prepares us for seasons when trust must operate without understanding. Mary's ability to hold both confusion and faith simultaneously would eventually sustain her through watching her son die on a cross.

The episode takes a vulnerable turn as I share my own journey through miscarriage in 2024 and how Mary's example guided me through overwhelming questions and grief. When understanding fails us, we can still choose trust—not as a denial of our pain, but as an acknowledgment that God's goodness transcends our limited perspective.

Whether you're currently navigating uncertainty or preparing for future challenges, this episode offers practical wisdom for developing a faith that remains steadfast even when answers aren't forthcoming.
