Why Peace Feels Elusive Even When You’re Faithful

Why does peace sometimes feel hardest to find when you’re genuinely trying to follow God?

In this opening episode of the Christ Centered Stewardship podcast, we introduce stewardship as a way of life—one that extends beyond finances into time, relationships, thoughts, habits, and daily obedience. Rather than striving for control or chasing worldly standards, Scripture invites us into a quieter, deeper peace rooted in trust.

This conversation reflects on the beginning of a new year without the pressure of resolutions, offering a Christ-centered foundation for living with clarity, purpose, and rest.

Hosted by Nino Villa and Maria Casillas.

Scripture leads. Reflection follows. Invitation remains gentle.
