Crazy Faith: What Abraham Teaches Us About Trusting God When It Doesn't Make Sense

Do you dig in, or do you doubt?

In this episode of the Glorify & Grow Podcast, Pastor Thomas Kulp of Horizon Church in Bosque Farms, New Mexico, dives into the powerful story of Abraham — a man whose obedience was counted as righteousness — and challenges every believer to examine what "crazy faith" really looks like in everyday life.

Drawing from Genesis, Romans 8:28, and the "Hall of Faith" in Hebrews 11, Pastor Thomas walks through Abraham's most jaw-dropping moments: leaving his homeland without a destination, being promised a son at 100 years old, and ultimately being asked to sacrifice that same son on an altar. Pastor Thomas also shares a personal story about a recent invitation to do missionary work in Greece — and the uncomfortable silence that followed his "yes" — reminding us that faith and obedience go hand in hand, and that God's timing rarely matches ours.

In this episode you'll hear why Abraham's obedience was counted as righteousness, how to read Romans 8:28 correctly ("all things for the good," not just the good things), what Hebrews 11 reveals about the people God calls faithful, and why faith without focus isn't really faith at all.
