15. Redefining Success Part Two: Getting Fired; Part of The Plan


Listen Later

Welcome! We are so glad you are joining us as Laura and Tara continue with the series on “success” and what is considered a “good” life. We are excited to provide the second part of our talk with Brady Gardner, the co-founder of LA37 (Living Army) here in the Detroit area. Tara has greatly benefited from this church movement and now ––thanks to the Wheel of Fear–– Laura will too! (wink)

In this episode Tara & Laura continue to provide a space for Brady to share the second part of his testimony: from the point of a couple serious setbacks as well as experiencing deep sadness after losing a beloved family member in a fatal car accident. We all want to experience what happened next! After crying out 12 years of pain & anger towards God, His Spirit filled Brady’ car and from there began to change the trajectory of his life. 

SCRIPT FLIPPED!

God used Brady’s career/financial success to invest in other “capitals” such as spiritual and relational capitals; leaving him with three years of no salary. Yet, for the first time there was total freedom and pure joy as Brady went against the patterns of the world into the faith-filled life with Jesus! 

Anyone else willing to ‘brave your abundance’ with Jesus?! 

Let’s go!

The Wheel of Fear: The timing of Laura’s share couldn’t be better! She has some reservations about attending LA37 due to the fact that their outward expression for Jesus is much different than what she’s used to – quiet and reserved praise and worship complementing a more predictable church experience. 

Even though Laura couldn’t attend a service this past week, she was met with love and acceptance while interacting with Brady (& Cody Wilson) during the conversation. They brough CHURCH to us through these conversations, so technically, Laura already experienced the joy and freedom of Living Army. 

And…in the next few weeks, Laura will share what it was like to attend a Sunday service. Stay tuned!
