Out of the Ordinary

257. You're Not Too Late or Too Old


Listen Later

Life is full of surprises, and often, it's in the most unexpected moments that we find profound meaning and guidance. In today's conversation Christie and Lisa-Jo discuss one specific instance that arrived much later in Christie's life than might be typical and how these instances are opportunities to stay receptive and attentive to God at work in the mundane and challenging.

In today's episode we unpack:

  • The significance of turning 50 and being a beginner again 
  • Receiving strength from the Holy Spirit, whether we feel strong or not 
  • The shift from relying on feelings to being receptive to God's invitations
  • A unique church experience for Christie and how it met her in a weary season
