165: The Only Thing That Matters
Main Points From the Show
Trusting in God and focusing on Jesus in difficult times is challenging, but when you layer the death of a loved one and a parent with Alzheimer’s, you quickly learn it’s the only way to get through it. You realize how important it is to remain patient and open to God’s plan, even when things don’t come together as we want. No matter the circumstances in our lives, it helps to remember that our faith grows during trials and that we can develop a closer relationship with Jesus during trying times.
This episode demonstrates how following basic principles from my book, Equipped for More, has helped me walk through many trials and shown me that God provides all we need. We can live confidently, knowing that whatever the outcome, God will be there and guide us in the right direction and remind us that there really is only one thing that matters.
Verses Referenced
Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory.
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
Romans 5:2-4
