166. When You Feel Like You're Drowning

Key Conversation Points: The podcast starts with Lisa-Jo desperately needing answers about finding equilibrium when she's drowning in life and she gets her answer! Find out how!  Lisa-Jo states that "God is not waterboarding us." Since he's not, then what's the purpose through this pain in the tsunami?  An excerpt is read from The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, "The prayers offered in the state of dryness are those which please him best." We aren't meant to be the peaceful center in our storm, it's Jesus. We're not meant to play that role for our kids, family or friends.  Jesus wasn't asleep on the boat because he didn't care.  He had the peace in the middle of the waves.  Podcast links: Click here to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast. https://www.blackbarnonline.com/ _______ Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible.
