243 Holding onto Hope in Turbulent Times: Where We are Now and What to Do Going Forward

Dec 7, 2023

Episode Summary:

Join me for a conversation with Carolyn Freeman of Impact Coaching Ministries as we talk about holding onto hope in turbulent times: where we are now and what to do going forward. How can we respond to the challenges and changes in the evolving world so that we can make a meaningful impact? We'll challenge you to embrace the world with a hope-filled perspective by grounding yourself in God's word. We'll share about the importance of prioritizing a mindset focused on victory in Jesus rather than a victim mentality. You won't want to miss this timely interview!

Quotables from the Episode:

  • It's incredible how God knows our needs long before we do, and He already knows how He's going to meet them.
  • Whatever you're going through right now, there's hope because it doesn't take God by surprise. And He already knows how He's going to get you through it.
  • The Holy Spirit's going to come to remind you of all truth. The Holy Spirit cannot remind us of truth that we have not already taken responsibility to learn.
  • If you are relying on “your” truth to help you survive in this world, you're being deceived.
  • But if we look to God to satisfy our needs, we can never run out.
  • You cannot have maximum eternal impact if you are not first spending time in God's word. 
  • God has such an upside down economy, and if you want to be great, you have to become the least.
  • He is nudging us all the time. The question is, is it so noisy that we're ignoring his nudges, or will we do as he's asking?

 

Scripture References:

  • Hosea 4:6 My people perish for lack of knowledge.
  • Jermiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
  • James 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.
