Cutting Through My Big Emotions: Putting My Confidence in Scripture Instead

In episode #97, we unpack what it means to put our full confidence in Scripture. Our big emotions can fail us, but God’s Word guides us through the valleys—and equips us for the mountaintops.

Episode #97 – Putting My Confidence in Scripture Instead of My Big Emotions: Continuing to Show Up

My incredible guest on today’s show is Jenny Zentz. She hosts The Intertwined Life Podcast and serves as Discipleship Pastor at Rock Harbor Church in Melbourne Beach, Florida. With passion and purpose, she helps others anchor their confidence in Scripture—even when it challenges the direction of our big emotions.

In part one of our conversation, we discuss the following ideas surrounding confidence in scripture & big emotions:

• Scripture as our foundation during grief and spiritual burnout
• The power of knowing God’s Word before the storms hit
• Why “we can’t be reminded of something we never gave our mind to”
• Filling your spiritual arsenal and relying on the Holy Spirit
• God’s peace isn’t just beyond understanding, it’s greater than the need to understand
• How to know when our feelings are guiding us away from Jesus

Remarkable Quotes to help us to put our confidence in Scripture instead of our big emotions:

“Stand on what you know, not how you feel.”
“We cannot go into a test we never studied for.”
“His peace surpasses the need to understand.”
“Our job isn’t to make the Word work—it’s to show up and trust God will.”
