The Parable Podcast is a place for conversation and stories that illustrate God's presence in our everyday life. A Parable is simple story used to illustrate a lesson. We see Jesus in the Bible sharing these with others so well. And the truth is, we all have stories big or small. Sometimes they are really funny, messy or difficult …. whatever it is you can look back a specific moment or a season in your life and say without a doubt God taught me "this." Can't wait for you to listen in.

    TPP #213 | My Guiding Shepherd with Mandy Loh

    Send The Parable Podcast a Text Ever wonder why God doesn't just reveal his whole plan for you right away? I've been there. I think the same thing from time to time. Today you're going to meet community care coordinator Mandy Loh who shares about how she needed to trust the Good Shepherd to see things a little differently. Mandy shares her insights on balancing fun with responsibilities, the cultural differences in faith between Asia and the US, and her passion for community service. The conversation highlights the importance of being open to God's plans and the adventures that life brings. Takeaways God's guidance is about trusting Him daily, not knowing the end plan.Mandy learned to be open to God's plans rather than her own.Connect with Mandy | FaceBook Reflection Questions: Are you at a crossroads, wondering about your purpose, or maybe you're just kind of feeling rushed and flustered, just take a minute to just settle in. I'd love for you to just think about God as our good shepherd and visually immerse yourself in that picture and just take your time. If you were walking in Central Park today and a stranger told you, hey, it's just a chance to look at things differently. Maybe today is the day that you can shake things up, maybe take a walk, reflect in silence, or go talk things out with a trusted friend. Sometimes sharing your thoughts really help things readjust and our perspective can really open up.Want to Enhance Your Conversations?
