Obedience isn’t popular in Western culture — but it’s central to following Jesus.
In this episode of When You Look, Mick sits down with Carey Green, pastor and host of The Morning Mindset podcast, to explore why obedience still matters today. From stories of ordinary believers who trusted God in extraordinary moments, to biblical truths from Exodus, James, and Hebrews, this conversation unpacks the life-changing connection between faith, obedience, and God’s blessing.
👉 Learn why obedience is more important than sacrifice
👉 Discover how faith grows when we step into action
👉 See why “delayed obedience is disobedience”
👉 Hear how the Holy Spirit gives us the power to obey
Whether you’re wrestling with a decision, seeking God’s direction, or needing encouragement to trust Him more fully, this episode will inspire you to believe, obey, and experience the blessing of walking in God’s ways.
