Episode 223 - Faith, Duty, and the Daily Grind

Tethered Thoughts with Bosede Santos

What does mustard-seed faith really look like when the spotlight is off and the world isn’t watching? In this episode of Tethered Thoughts, we explore Jesus’ response in Luke 17:6–8—where He moves the conversation from supernatural miracles to humble, everyday obedience. The disciples had just asked Jesus to increase their faith, and His reply wasn’t a motivational speech or a call to greater emotion—it was a lesson in quiet consistency. Jesus essentially says: true faith isn't proven in how loudly you declare it but in how faithfully you carry out your duty when no one is applauding.

With rich cultural context and spiritual depth, this episode challenges the modern obsession with visibility, platform, and performance. Instead, it elevates the sacred rhythm of showing up, serving, and staying steady—even when it feels ordinary or thankless. We explore this through the powerful story of Florence Nightingale, who, fueled by faith, redefined leadership through hidden service, tireless duty, and disciplined compassion.

You’ll discover how real faith operates not in bursts of inspiration, but in the small, consistent decisions of everyday life. From caregiving and career to ministry and motherhood—this is a call to live your faith in the trenches, not just on the mountaintops.

Tune in and be reminded, mustard-seed faith moves mountains, yes—but sometimes it also just gets up, goes to work, and keeps the fire burning.

Thank you for support and message :)
