We have a lot of power of our own, but real power comes when we are connected to a higher power source. This is a concept Liz explores in her upcoming fantasy series Teloria. Connection is also a huge theme in Penelope Wilcock's series The Hawk and the Dove. Monks in the book grow to love and respect each other through their hurts.

"What's so important in His sight that is has to be done this way?" Ever ask yourself that? Everyone in the stories we're discussing today is wondering the same thing. Why did God set up the world to work this way? Sometimes it makes no sense to us. Two powerful illustrations as to why meekness is more powerful than evil are The Book of the Dun Cow by Walter Wangerin, Jr, & A Wind in the Door by Madeleine L'Engle.

Eugenides has fallen into a trap. He's never been trapped on a mission before, but somehow the Queen knew his every step and now he's at her mercy! Evan & Liz Frerichs are taking about free will and determinism today. We don't understand God's ways, however, we've all probably seen examples of when someone's wounding turns out to make their life more successful somehow. The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner

We're talking about or favorite literature this week. Today Evan shares a couple Jack Gilbert poems and Liz reads some Frances Hodgson Burnett. We love fiction because, in a way, all communication is fiction. We cannot communicate the truth like God can because of our limited understanding. Art, poetry, and fiction often get us closer to the truth than attempting to speak about the issue head on.

Have you ever attempted to slog thorough your emotional baggage—the hangups and hurts from when you were younger? Maybe you've put off doing this because you figured time itself would sort it out? But time does not heal all wounds. Putting off this important work actually causes a division within yourself—you become a fragmented person. Today Evan and Liz talk about how to begin putting those fragments back together.

Get help. You're never designed to answer God's call alone—whether you're called to change an entire country or raise an amazing family. Asking for help shows maturity. This goes for inner work too. When you work on yourself the way God wants you to, you become a better tool in His hands to change the world around you.

Development is always part of the plan. A baby can't stay a baby; it grows into an adult. Likewise, your spiritual muscles need a workout and discomfort to grow strong. Self-discipline leads to a better life. It's too easy to be constantly low-level discontent but doing nothing to change your situation. God wants more from and for us than that.

Why would God make me a certain way, and then immediately call me out of that comfort zone to grow? Somehow, it's all part of the plan. Babies grow into adults, seeds grow into mature plants. But, even though we're designed to grow, it still takes surrender to move forward.

Frantic, panicky energy feels productive and easy sometimes, but it's really just setting you up for a more difficult time later. If you can engage in calm during the storm, the task at hand will be less difficult as will future repercussions. Everything you do has an opportunity-cost and, in that way, everything you do is hard. Don't get stuck in the trap of doing what seems easy in the short-term only to have a more difficult task later.
