When someone we love is struggling, our natural instinct is to try to make things better. But as life becomes more complicated, we eventually discover that some of the things affecting the people closest to us are beyond our ability to fix.
In this episode of Endure Faith, we reflect on the difference between being present in someone’s struggle and believing that the outcome depends on us. Accepting that we cannot fix something does not mean there is nothing we can do. Love and support still matter, and sometimes simply knowing that someone is there can make a real difference.
We also look at the invitation in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast our anxiety on God because He cares for us, and Jesus’ words in Matthew 11:28 to come to Him when we are weary and burdened. Letting go of control is not the same as letting go of someone.
Sometimes faith means recognizing the limits of what we can do, continuing to love and support the people who matter to us, and trusting God with what remains beyond our control.

Endure Faith - Episode 24: Trust God Today
It is easy to be physically present while our thoughts are somewhere else. A run can pass almost on autopilot while the mind is already occupied with what comes next, and the same thing can happen in everyday life.
In this episode of Endure Faith, Bjørn-Ivar reflects on Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:34 about not worrying about tomorrow, and on the Israelites gathering only the manna they needed for each day.
Planning ahead has its place, but there is a difference between preparing for tomorrow and already living in it. Sometimes we are given enough light for the next step, rather than the whole road.
Drawing on a simple lesson from running, this episode is about staying with the part of the journey we are actually in, trusting God with today, and allowing tomorrow to come when it comes.
Bible references: Matthew 6:34, Psalm 118:24, Exodus 16

EndureFaith - Episode 23: One Log Won’t Make a Fire
There’s something I’ve always enjoyed about getting a few logs going, whether it’s a small coffee fire while hiking or lighting the fireplace at the cabin.
And after doing it enough times, you start noticing how a fire behaves. One proper piece of wood can be surprisingly difficult to keep burning on its own, but place another beside it and something changes. They begin sharing the heat.
That got me thinking about faith.
Our relationship with God is personal, but I’m not sure it was ever meant to be lived alone. Sometimes our faith feels warm and natural, while at other times disappointment, grief or simply being tired can make things feel different.
And just like wood, we don’t all catch in the same way either. Dry wood may burn quickly, while wet wood needs more time and more warmth around it.
In this episode of Endure Faith, I reflect on Ecclesiastes 4:9–10 and Hebrews 10:24–25, and on the simple idea that sometimes we don’t need someone to fix us or tell us to burn brighter. Sometimes we just need someone close enough that we don’t cool down on our own.
Maybe we were never meant to see how long we could keep our own little flame alive.
