Netarts Friends Church Podcast Aaron Carlson

Life is full of forks in the road and choices. We pray and we choose. Sometimes it seems crystal clear what we should do, and sometimes it doesn't. What do you do when you pray your head off, and then make a choice, you invest, you love, you risk everything; and then everything that could go wrong-does go wrong? What do you do then? What do you tell yourself?

What do you do when things feel too far gone? When you feel blocked from what your heart is thirsting for? When it feels like the snowball has rolled to far down the wrong side of the mountain? When you are just trying to survive, cope, and self-soothe?

Easter mini-series Part Two.
We all have blind spots. We can't conceive of anything different. This episode walks you through the ideas about suffering that the disciples of Jesus could not begin to imagine differently, and also invites you to reflect on what you believe about suffering, and how that might be impacting your experiences of suffering.
