3 Ways to Increase Your Faith | Shannon O’Dell

A lot of people believe in Jesus… but have never actually trusted Him.

So what is real, saving faith?

In this message, we break down the three essential elements of biblical faith—knowledge, conviction, and trust—and why missing even one changes everything. It’s possible to know about Jesus, agree with the truth, and still never fully surrender your life to Him.

Then we take it deeper with three positions of faith that shape how you live:

• “I’m Gonna Die Trying” – trusting God even when you don’t see the promise

• “We Can” – refusing to let outside voices override what God already said

• “Send It” – stepping out and living your faith with bold action

This message will challenge you to stop sitting in passive belief and start walking in real, active faith.

Because faith isn’t just what you believe…

it’s how you live.
