Faith is not meant to be confined to a Sunday morning service or a quiet moment at the beginning of the day. For Steven Pelletier, owner of Triage Connect, faith is something that shapes every room he walks into—at work, at home, and in the community.
In this feature for Living My Faith with James Fenimore, Steven reflects on trust, obedience, leadership, and the life-changing value of slowing down long enough to listen to God. His story brings together a deep background in information technology, a heart for developing people, and a sincere desire to live as a child of God in every area of life.
A Faith That Shows Up Everywhere
When asked how he actively lives out his faith, Steven’s answer is simple and deeply practical: he strives to be the same person wherever he is.
That consistency matters. Whether he is leading teams, supporting business transformation, serving his family, or engaging with others in daily life, Steven sees himself as “a child of God trying to help others know Jesus and how to live for Him.”
This kind of faith is not performative. It is steady, humble, and integrated. It speaks to one of the central themes of Living My Faith with James Fenimore: what it looks like to follow Jesus in ordinary, real-world moments.
Trusting God Beyond Our Own Understanding
One passage has been especially meaningful to Steven in this season: Proverbs 3:5-6.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
For Steven, this Scripture has become more than a familiar verse. It has become a personal conviction. He shared that he once believed he was living for God, but later realized he often leaned on his own understanding and lived by default.
Learning to Stop, Listen, and Obey
Steven’s reflection offers an important reminder for anyone seeking spiritual growth: walking with God requires intentional pauses. It means stopping, listening for what God is saying, and responding with obedience.
In a busy world that rewards speed, constant productivity, and self-reliance, this is a meaningful challenge. Faith often grows not when we add more noise, but when we make room to hear from God.
A Sabbatical That Transformed His Trust
Steven shared that he is completing a sabbatical that has transformed his trust in God and changed how he lives his life in every way.
Sabbatical seasons can create space for reflection, renewal, and realignment. For Steven, this time has deepened his dependence on God and reshaped how he approaches daily life. It has also reinforced the importance of Sabbath—not simply as rest, but as a spiritual rhythm that helps people listen more clearly and live more faithfully.
Practical Encouragement for Spiritual Growth
Steven’s advice to someone struggling to live out their faith or wanting to grow spiritually is clear: find time to stop and truly listen to God.
He emphasizes that Sabbath is key, but also encourages people not to overlook small beginnings. Even five minutes a day can make a difference.
For readers who want a practical starting point, consider these simple steps:
- Set aside five quiet minutes each day. Begin with Scripture, prayer, or silence before God.
- Reflect on where you are leaning on your own understanding. Ask God to reveal areas where trust needs to grow.
- Practice immediate obedience. When God makes the next right step clear, respond faithfully.
- Build a Sabbath rhythm. Create regular space to rest, worship, listen, and realign your heart.
- Live consistently. Seek to be the same follower of Jesus at home, at work, and in public.

Using Technology as a Strategic Enabler
Steven is particularly passionate about building strong teams, developing future leaders, and helping organizations use technology as a strategic enabler of business success.
That perspective reflects a broader leadership principle: tools and systems matter, but people matter deeply. Strong execution requires clear strategy, healthy teams, wise leadership, and the ability to connect technology decisions to real business outcomes.
For professionals who want to lead with both excellence and integrity, Steven’s example reminds us that faith and work do not have to be separate. The way leaders develop people, make decisions, steward resources, and serve organizations can meaningfully express their values.
A Veteran’s Perspective on What Matters Most
Steven is also a veteran. When reflecting on the most impactful moment of his transition out of the military, he pointed to a deeply personal experience: reuniting with his wife and new baby daughter.
That moment highlights a theme woven throughout his story—faith is lived in relationships. It is lived in family, in service, in leadership, and in the quiet decisions that shape a person’s character over time.
