    Finding Refuge in God When in Distress

    Finding Refuge in God When in Distress

    Have you ever felt upset or bothered by things that others have said about you? In this episode, Jodi delves into King David's life and how he sought refuge in God during times of distress. Through excerpts from Chapter 6 of her soon-to-be-published book Trust Issues, she explores David's struggles with betrayal, harassment, and gossip and how he turned to God amidst adversity. Listen in for valuable insights into trusting God in the midst of life's storms.
    Ask Yourself:
    Are you intentionally turning your focus back toward God when distressed? If not, create a plan to reroute your focus to recall God’s faithfulness to deepen your reliance on Him as your ultimate refuge.

    Obedience to The Lord Despite the Fears by A Missionary Friend

    Obedience to The Lord Despite the Fears by A Missionary Friend

    Have you ever experienced having your faith shaken by your fears? Join Jodi as she shares a message from the heart of a missionary friend. Many of us struggle with choosing to trust God with the scary things in life. If we work hard to overcome our doubts and let God take control, we will realize He is worth it all.
     
    *Sometimes, “pennies in your path” show up in the trials.
     
    Question: Are you struggling with placing your faith over your fears? If so, in what way?
     
    Growing Deeper-
    One Action Step Recognize that God keeps His promise, “And I will be with you” (Genesis 31:3). That promise is not an old promise but a current promise. God has not changed. He is the same God today that He was for Jacob. If you do not believe that, then wrestle down your unbelief with God.
    Scripture Plunge: Matthew 19:29, 28:19-20, Genesis 27:41, Genesis 31:3, Genesis 32, Genesis 33:4,

    When the Fight Is Real & the Battle Is Hard with Stephanie Shott

    When the Fight Is Real & the Battle Is Hard with Stephanie Shott

    Have you ever walked through a wilderness season in your life…or felt stuck in your circumstances? Stephanie has been there. On today’s podcast, Stephanie shares how God helped her arise from her own wilderness experience and led her to arise and break free. Join Jodi in her conversation with author and speaker, Stephanie Shott, as she inspires us to cling to the promises, power, and provisions of God, the One you can always trust in times of need. 
     
    *Sometimes, “pennies in your path” show up in the wilderness.
    Question: What are you clinging to today?
    Growing Deeper-
    One Action Step: Acknowledge if you are in the wilderness. It’s okay not to be okay, but it is not okay to stay there. Be willing to do what it takes to arise out of your wilderness. That might mean letting go of anger, bitterness, and resentfulness so you can step out of the wilderness and step into the promises of God. 
    Scripture Plunge: Joshua 1:5, 2 Corinthians 1:20, Romans 8:17
