The storms in our lives are seasonal. Some may think that storms come to disrupt our lives but really, storms come to do many things, such as clear our paths for deeper connection and clarity.

Dr. Myles Munroe is a pastor and motivational speaker. Frantzces came across his sermon from 2011 about how to live above the storms of life and found it relevant to our current state of time.

Unfortunately, Dr. Munroe is no longer with us, but what he has left behind was this incredible passion for the human will. Frantzces shares key messages from the sermon. Understand that a storm is a metaphor for life's unpredictable and sometimes hurtful nature.

Everyone faces a storm, a hardship and some kind of struggle, which is a common connection throughout humanity. But storms are seasonal. If we're on top now, that's a season, and if we're at the bottom now, it's also seasonal. In other words, it's all temporary. No matter what we go through it can't last, nothing remains the same. And the key is to outlast the season.

In a time of crisis, it's easy to lose faith in humanity. It's easy to get lost in the darkness of people and get caught up with terror. This pandemic has made us realize how interconnected we all really are. We need each other.

The media and even the people you care about will have you question humanity. But remember, people are generally good and people generally care about each other. In a time like this, it's important to remember how humans have been able to survive for centuries. People are extremely resilient.

Tune in as Frantzces tells you to not get caught up in the hype. And to learn how to live in the ying and yang of life.
