In this conversation, we ramble about all the fun Fall things including Halloween, football, makeup application, and the new Beckham documentary. We also talk about parenting teenagers, navigating social media, and meeting people where they are. We end with solid encouragment from Acts 16 on "closed doors and unmet expectations."

Listen to Auburn Community Church Pastor Miles Fidell's sermon "Closed Doors and Unmet Expectations"

Don't allow your disillusionment and frustration to derail you. Unmet expectations are actually a powerful tool God uses. But so often, when God doesn't meet our expectations, we disengage from bold faith.

"God I believe in your power more than I want to react to these circumstances"

When God closes a door, stay attentive. Pay close attention to what God is up to rather than wallowing in your unmet expectations. He is at work redirecting and supernaturally changing people.

How do distinguish between a closed door & walking away vs needing to stay & persevere?? Two ways. Wisdom & discernment about the will of God

How do we get wisdom? Prayer, scripture & wise counsel from other believers
