Faith for the Unexpected :: Christine Caine [Ep 202]

Powerhouse Christine Caine shares how she let go of fear and found faith for when the unexpected happened. Lots of truth and encouragement here for anyone who has encountered fear in parenting, a medical diagnosis and rejection in friendships… so all of us!

Jesus never said we’re not going to have trials. He said when trials come, not if, but when. I think sometimes as believers we forget that, but we have a grace within it. I think part of our testimony to a lost and broken world is the way we go through it.

What we chat about:

Christine Caine’s new book, Unexpected

Emboldening our faith and letting go of fear in motherhood

Trusting that God will fill in the gaps of what we’re able to do as parents

Basic spiritual practices can be some of the most powerful things in our lives

Facing painful actualites in a fallen world

Christine’s reaction to her cancer diagnosis

Jesus is the name above all other names, including cancer

Having a "faith cocoon" of friends to encourage you in the face of fear

Enduring suffering as Christians

Giving in to the pain and fear and suffering is not the answer

We serve a God who is bigger!

Godly motherhood in this generation is harder than it’s ever been

Leaning in with a spirit of faith and not pulling back with a spirit of fear

We’re called to train our children up and not restrain their giftings

Dealing with rejection in friendship and moving forward
