How to Believe Playlist

How to Believe

Where Faith Begins

Come sit with me awhile.

Believing in God is more than knowing about Him.

It is learning to trust Him.

Faith is not always instant.

Often it is built through real life — through questions, waiting, struggles, surrender, conviction, and seeing God prove Himself faithful over time.

This collection is for those who are learning:

• how to believe

• how to trust God

• how to hear His voice

• how to let go of control

• how to walk by faith instead of fear

• how to recognize His hand in everyday life

These teachings are not about religion.

They are about relationship.

Jesus said:

“Have faith in God.”— Mark 11:22

And faith grows as we walk with Him.

This playlist is different because

How to Believe is the root question:

Do I trust God?

And often, faith begins in ways we do not expect.

Sometimes it begins with conviction.

Sometimes it begins with surrender.

Sometimes it begins with waiting.

These three teachings walk through that real-life journey of faith:

First, we come into agreement with God.

Then we learn to obey Him.

Then we learn to trust Him even while we wait.

This is the path of belief:

Agreement → Obedience → Trust

Not as perfect people.

But as real people learning to walk with a real God.

Because faith is not just a moment.

Faith is a relationship.

And relationships grow.

This is a place to begin, return to, and grow deeper — learning step by step that God is faithful, present, and able to lead us in real life.

Because believing is not just where salvation begins.

Sometimes believing is where healing begins too.

Come sit with Karen a while as she teaches what the Lord reveals to her as she learns.

One

Confession Is Not Condemnation | Coming Into Agreement With God

What if confession is not about shame…

but about relationship?

What if confession is not condemnation…

but connection?

In this real-life teaching, Karen Rowe sits on top of a rock pile and shares what the Lord has been revealing about confession, conviction, cleansing, and abiding in Christ.

Through 1 John 1:9, Revelation 22, John 15, and John 17:3, this teaching opens a deeper understanding:

Confession is not merely admitting wrong.

Confession is coming into agreement with God.

This teaching explores:

• the difference between conviction and condemnation

• how confession opens the way for cleansing

• why confession is part of abiding in the Vine

• how God prunes us to bear more fruit

• why hiding keeps us stuck, but truth sets us free

From Adam hiding in the garden…

to branches abiding in the Vine…

to the invitation of Christ to know the Father…

this teaching reveals:

God is not trying to shame us.

He is trying to wake us up.

Because confession is often the place where grace begins.

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”— 1 John 1:9 (KJV)

Maybe God is not condemning you today.

Maybe He is calling you closer.

Come sit with me awhile.

Confession Is Not Condemnation | Coming Into Agreement With God

From Agreement to Action

Confession is where faith often begins.

It is where we stop hiding, stop justifying, and come into agreement with what God has revealed.

But agreement is not the end.

Agreement leads to action.

Once truth is revealed, a choice follows:

Will we respond?

Will we trust what God says enough to move with Him?

Or stop when He says stop?

The next teaching is a real-life picture of what that looks like.

Sometimes faith does not look like pushing harder.

Sometimes faith looks like getting off the lawnmower.

Because obedience is often where belief becomes visible.

Title Two:

Get Off the Lawnmower

Summary Intro:

Sometimes the thing we are fighting to keep doing is the very thing God is asking us to step away from.

In this real-life teaching, Karen Rowe shares how a dead lawnmower battery became a living lesson on faith, surrender, and trusting God’s instructions.

What looked like “doing something” was actually keeping the work from getting done.

But when she got off at the instruction given, the way opened.

This teaching explores:

• how belief and obedience work together

• why waiting on God is not wasted time

• how surrender makes room for God to move

• what it means to trust beyond what we understand

• how real life becomes the classroom where God teaches us

Faith is not always doing more.

Sometimes faith is stepping off.

Sometimes faith is waiting.

Sometimes faith is learning how.

In the video, I shared my shirt said Romans 5:8 had something to do with love and Karen said she would look it up too as she invited you to look it up.

Here's the revelation that the Lord revealed to her.

Romans 5:8 (KJV):

“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Biblically, this means:

God did not wait for us to get cleaned up before He loved us.

He demonstrated His love first.

Not after repentance.

Not after obedience.

Not after we “got it together.”

While we were yet sinners.

That is one of the strongest pictures of grace in all Scripture.

It connects deeply to what Karen has been teaching from all the Lord is revealing:

• belief — because faith begins by believing His love came first

• letting go — because you stop striving to earn what was already given

• identity — because your worth is established by Christ, not your past

• trust — because if He loved you at your worst, He will not abandon you in your growth

This fits the Video Get Off the Lawnmower teaching beautifully:

Sometimes we keep striving to fix ourselves, prove ourselves, or carry something ourselves…

but Romans 5:8 says God already moved toward us first.

He already made the way.

Sometimes the most powerful act of faith is stepping off and believing what He already did.

We hope you enjoy the video.

Staying Off the Lawnmower

Learning to Remain in Agreement

Getting off is one thing.

Staying off is another.

In this bridge teaching between surrender and waiting, Karen Rowe shares the deeper lesson that came after the first instruction:

It was not just about getting off the lawnmower.

It was about staying off.

Because human nature always wants to go back.

One more try.

One more push.

One more effort.

But faith is more than hearing.

Faith stays in agreement.

When we truly believe the instruction given, we stop fighting it.

We stop forcing.

We stop trying to make happen what only time, truth, and God can prepare.

This teaching explores:

• how belief is proven by agreement

• how obedience continues after the first step

• how human nature resists waiting

• how faith holds steady when nothing seems to change

• how trust grows in the space between instruction and fulfillment

Sometimes believing looks like stepping off.

Sometimes believing looks like staying off.

And sometimes the waiting is where belief becomes real.

THIRD TITLE:

The Power of Instructions | Learning to Believe While You Wait

What if believing begins before you ever see the answer?

What if faith is not just hoping God will do something…

but trusting Him while nothing seems to be happening?

In this real-life teaching, Karen Rowe shares how God teaches us to believe through ordinary moments — a delayed plan, a timed delivery, a simple cup of coffee, and the quiet places where God reveals His hand.

This teaching is about learning how to believe.

Not just believing in God…

but believing God.

Believing His instructions matter.

Believing His timing is purposeful.

Believing His peace is guidance.

Believing that when He says wait, He is still working.

This teaching explores:

• how faith grows while we wait

• how believing and obeying work together

• how God teaches trust through everyday life

• how His peace can guide our decisions

• how waiting is often evidence of His preparation

The Bible says:

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”— Proverbs 3:5

And sometimes belief looks like this:

Waiting when you want to move.

Moving when you want to wait.

Trusting when you cannot yet see.

Because faith is not always in the outcome.

Sometimes faith is simply believing the instruction.
