Out of the Ordinary

166. When You Feel Like You're Drowning


Listen Later

Key Conversation Points:

  • The podcast starts with Lisa-Jo desperately needing answers about finding equilibrium when she's drowning in life and she gets her answer! Find out how! 
  • Lisa-Jo states that "God is not waterboarding us." Since he's not, then what's the purpose through this pain in the tsunami?
  •  An excerpt is read from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, "The prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please him best."
  • We aren't meant to be the peaceful center in our storm, it's Jesus. We're not meant to play that role for our kids, family or friends. 
  • Jesus wasn't asleep on the boat because he didn't care.  He had the peace in the middle of the waves.
