Les mer The Unexpected Story

Growing up, my Mom’s favorite verse was Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord….”. She’d quote this verse saying life was like a puzzle and God would reveal the different puzzle pieces in time to create a beautiful picture/story. We know we can’t see the full picture with one or two pieces, but we also don’t always get to chose the picture on our puzzle. As I began to think about the “pieces” of my story, most of them aren’t anything like I expected. Some pieces are harder, some pieces are sweeter, and some are completely different than I would have chosen. The longer I’ve lived and the more opportunities I’ve had to peer into other’s stories, I think it’s fair to say life consistently deals “pieces” for all of us that we didn’t expect nor would have chosen for our story. Maybe it’s a diagnosis, a dream, a calling, a loss, maybe the dream job didn’t satisfy like you imagined, or maybe the mundane day to day isn’t what you expected either. But I’ve come to know that God can take the unexpected story and piece together a beautiful picture if we surrender the pieces to Him. My heart for this podcast is to provide space for others to share how they found Jesus in the midst of their unexpected story.

The Unexpected Joy

Madi, Isaiah, and Mackenzie Nelson, Cody and Dawn's three children, join me for today's episode. If you missed Cody's episodes (The Unexpected Peace), you'll want to go back and listen as he shares their family's journey of walking through cancer and grief. Despite painful circumstances, their kids have remained joyful in the Lord and they display true childlike faith in Jesus. This episode is a round table conversation, a conversation that is silly, deep, and most of all joyful. I pray that your heart will be filled with joy after you hear their joy amidst deep grief - knowing the same God who has filled their little hearts with joy is able to do that same for you and me.
