Podcast: When God Defies Our Assumptions About Faith

Length: 8 minutes, 26 seconds But I learned that sometimes God will defy my assumptions—even those based in Scripture—in order to reveal a truth that lies outside that good principle.  I needed to trust a Person’s heart more than a principle.  [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacbfda8dfc8ced22b53c65/b6237e29-41bf-4d63-8d60-18cf3f06ed29/iStock-1446198512.jpg?format=1000w]

Podcast: What Question Can You Ask Your Friend With Cancer?

Cancer is a disease of isolation.  Your life orbits around the “C” word, but no one else’s does.  It’s your primary concern, but others understandably have their own primary concerns.  Your life is no longer normal:  doctor’s visits, medical scans, online searches for cures, and medical bills are the new priorities.  But nothing has changed for those around you.  Length: 5 minutes, 10 seconds [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacbfda8dfc8ced22b53c65/203cb8be-83a6-4b33-86f9-4eaa31b7d4d4/image-question+bubble.jpg?format=1000w]

Podcast: Rising Compassion As a Signal God Wants to Heal

My emotional core was groaning.  I scanned the room.  Visceral compassion rose up in me; an urging.  I wanted to see people in that room made well.  This wasn’t an intellectual exercise in prayer; it was spiritual pathos in bodily form.  No dutiful appeals: This was gut-level prayer. Signaled by a surge of compassion.

(The strange story of King Hezekiah’s death-sentence) Length: 6 minutes, 5 seconds Some of you will struggle with this idea because you’ve been told for years that “Thy will be done” no longer means, “my own will be done.”  You’ve been told to sacrifice your will to a God who actually wants to resurrect it.  [https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cacbfda8dfc8ced22b53c65/8d258826-d83c-4097-b8e1-9d9cec57ed7b/iStock-1413639704.jpg?format=1000w]
