We don’t put our trust in our plans. Nor do we trust that our plans are God’s will. We trust God.

Episode Transcript

What if your best plans are only as strong as your trust in something greater? Welcome to Seedbed Inc’s latest episode with John David Walt, where we dive deep into the art of planning—anchored in faith and guided by wisdom. It’s January 16th, and as the Sower Nation gathers, you’ll discover why trusting God isn’t just for the prayer closet—it’s the starting line for every plan you make. This session unpacks the relationship between divine trust and real-world planning, drawing wisdom from Proverbs 16: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans.” John David Walt challenges the either/or mentality (“Trust God or make plans?”), showing us a richer, both/and approach that can transform your day-to-day decisions. You’ll hear honest reflections on our tendency to run with our own ideas, then ask God to bless them—a habit Walt reframes with practical journal prompts and a heartfelt prayer for aligning your plans with God's will. Key moments include a moving hymn, “Have Thine Own Way”—an invitation to yield to the hands of the ultimate Potter—and Walt’s encouraging vision for living as vessels of love, letting Jesus flow through every interaction. You’ll also catch inspiring shoutouts to worship leaders like Matt Maher and Chris Tomlin, with a nudge to revive old hymns for today’s church. Leave this episode inspired to sow seeds of awakening, make wiser plans, and love boldly, knowing that God’s guidance is the secret to true success. Ready to step into the day with purpose and faith?
