Despair is kind of a scary word… it implies a lack of faith that anything is going to get better. But if we are being honest with ourselves, even as followers of Christ there are plenty of times that despair shows up in our lives and we simply let it crash in the couch… sometimes we even cook it breakfast. Despair takes many forms beyond deciding that a game is so unbeatable that we hide it behind other games on the shelf so we can forget about it… it’s that voice that convinces us to give up because our eventual failure is “in our genes” or “this is just the way it is”. It’s the lurking presence behind every diet we’ve ever quit, every new skill we decided we don’t have time to cultivate, and every dream we have ever buried. Despair is more than just the fear of failure… it’s the absence of hope. And in this video, we are going to share our own battle with escaping the "pit of despair"... and what the Lord showed us through our own real world walk through the valley of the shadow of death.#videogames #Despair #pitofdespair #valleyoftheshadowofdeath #hope #encouragement #christianliving #brokenness #broken #christianreels #christianvideos #jesus #God #emptytomb #faith #FaithJourney #gaming #gamingpodcast #christianpodcast #christianpodcaster #gamingpodcaster
