Have you ever been told, “You just need to trust God,” while everything around you still felt uncertain?

What does trusting God actually look like when the diagnosis hasn’t changed, the prayer hasn’t been answered, or you still can’t see what comes next?

In this episode of Fighting From Victory, Michelle Pinneo shares what God has been teaching her while walking through Stage 4 cancer, treatment, surgeries, complications, and uncertainty. She has learned that trusting God doesn’t require certainty about the outcome. It requires confidence in the One holding the outcome.

Through 1 Peter 1 and her own journey, Michelle explores what it means to:

• Hold onto a living hope when circumstances are uncertain

• Trust God even when fear is present

• Remember who God says you are when circumstances try to define you

• Recognize what God may be producing in the fire

• Trust God with today instead of carrying tomorrow

• Take the next faithful step without seeing the entire road

📖 Scriptures mentioned in this episode:

• 1 Peter 1:3: Our living hope is rooted in the resurrection of Jesus Christ
• 1 Peter 1:6–7: Trials can refine and strengthen our faith like gold refined by fire
• Matthew 6:34: Trusting God with today instead of carrying tomorrow’s worries
• 1 Peter 1:4: Our inheritance in Christ can never perish, spoil, or fade

Whether you are walking through illness, grief, waiting, fear, uncertainty, or an unanswered prayer, this episode is a reminder that you do not have to know how your story ends before you trust the Author.
