    God And Our Dogs - Robin Lowman and Amy House PAWNDER 2-14-26

    In this pondering episode of God and Our Dogs, host Meg Greer welcomes Robin Lowman to reflect on Amy House's story about two very different dogs - Cooper, who's content knowing his owners are nearby, and Siri, who needs to be physically close at all times. Robin shares beautiful insights about how both approaches mirror our relationship with God - sometimes we rest confidently in His presence, and sometimes we need to press in closer during difficult seasons. The conversation explores: ✨ How we know God is near even without physical presence ✨ The importance of seeking God with our whole heart ✨ Why our relationship with God should grow and deepen over time ✨ Finding shelter and comfort in God during life's storms ✨ Walking through every season of life with Jesus Robin's touching story about her 19-year-old dog Bailey beautifully illustrates God's promise: "I will be with you even to the end of the age."

    God And Our Dogs - Dwaine Rivers 1-24-26

    Join host Meg Grier on God and Our Dogs as she interviews Dwaine Rivers of the Rivers Team with Phyllis Browning. Dwaine shares an incredible 12-day journey of faith, persistence, and divine intervention when his daughter's Australian Shepherd, Raya, went missing on her wedding day in Bay City, Texas. This heartwarming story demonstrates how God's fingerprints appear in unexpected places - from a traumatic storm that caused Raya to escape, to an entire community rallying together in prayer and search efforts. Despite crossing busy highways and navigating railroad tracks and canals, Raya was miraculously protected for nearly two weeks. The turning point came through divine guidance from an animal behaviorist who advised a simple but profound approach: just sit quietly with another familiar dog. Within 10 minutes, Raya emerged from the woods, completely healthy. This powerful metaphor reminds us how God patiently waits for us, and sometimes the best way to help those who are lost is simply to be present. Key Takeaways: Faith and persistence in the face of overwhelming odds The power of community support and prayer Trusting expert guidance even when it doesn't make sense God's protection and perfect timing Lessons about approaching lost friends with patience and presence About Dwaine Rivers: Real estate expert with 40+ years of experience, award-winning horseman, community leader, and devoted dog lover with the Rivers Team.
