“Big Truss! Woo woo!”

In 2019, Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram went viral when he enthusiastically introduced Lamar Jackson to the media as the “MVP frontrunner” and declared one unforgettable phrase: Big Truss.

It was funny. It was over the top. But underneath all the energy was something powerful: Ingram had complete confidence in his quarterback.

In this episode of Sermons on the Side, Richard and Brad take that viral NFL moment and ask a much bigger question: What does it look like to have that kind of trust in God?

There’s a difference between saying we trust God and actually making God our trust - building our lives, our decisions, our hopes, and even our uncertainties around who He is. Psalms 40 give us that picture, while Jeremiah 17 describes the person who trusts in the Lord as a tree planted by water, whose roots remain secure even when heat and drought come.

Because biblical trust doesn’t mean difficult seasons never arrive. It means we know where our roots are when they do.

From Lamar Jackson and an unforgettable Ravens press conference to Psalms 40, Jeremiah 17, faith, fear, and learning to depend fully on God, Episode 85 asks what might change in our lives if we stopped simply talking about trust - and started living with Big Trust.
