Grace at the Fray

S1:E5 Banking on the Promises of God


Listen Later

Join Jim Lovelady in this episode as he interviews Serge missionary, Taylor Morris. They explore Taylor's journey of learning to truly rely on God's promises rather than just acknowledging them intellectually, especially during times of profound unknowns—both on the mission field and in life. They discuss how following Jesus in ministry often exposes our weaknesses, but because God meets us in that weakness, it brings renewed joy and confidence in sharing His love with others.

In this episode, they discuss...

  • How God’s Promises Hold Us Together When Our Plans Fall Apart [10:36]
  • The Intentionality of God in the In-Between [15:51]
  • Battling with the Lord in Prayer and Holy Wrestling [31:22]
  • How People See Jesus When We Minister Through Our Weakness [36:22]
  • Our Sure Hope of Belonging to the Lord, Both Now and for Eternity [45:10]
  • Clinging to the Promises of God [49:09]

Jim and Taylor's conversation is a powerful reminder that we serve a God who is unchanging and never surprised—even by our own weakness. In Taylor's journey of wrestling with uncertainty and lack of control, she has found that God is faithful, meeting her in her weakness and allowing her to experience a growing intimacy with Him. Her story is an encouragement to all of us that we can have confidence in God’s promises that never fail.
