1 Kings 18:40-46 & James 5:17
 Today we hear Elijah tell Ahab that the drought is finally ending. Elijah knows the rain is coming but it is not until the seventh time that his servant makes the trip to the sea that there are signs of rain. Elijah faithfully waits and sends his servant to look over and over again. God was with Elijah when things happened immediately like in last week's episode, BUT He's also with him in the waiting. 
I point out that the Bible says that Elijah was a man like us. That gives us encouragement that we too can pray fervently as he did.
We have a few more exciting Elijah episodes left so make sure to tune in!

#328: Emotions part 2: WORRY-Feelings aren't Bad but it's What we Do with them that Matters

Statistics are showing an increase of worry and anxiety in children.  This will be a little different from our usual episode but the Bible has a lot to say about this so we thought we should address it.  We will differentiate between fear, worry, and and anxiety and give each emotion their own episode. 
Today we discuss fear:

Are there good fears? ie; fear of fire, or fear of the Lord
Can fear lie to us?
Why does God tell us not to be afraid? What promise does he give with it

**If you would like to hear all of David and Goliath that episode is :#112 "There's no one like you." #307 "What if David had a Bad Attitude" is a shortened version with a different application.
Resources we've used for this: "The Worry free Parent" & "Raising Worry Free Girls" by Sissy Goff.
