Does God Send Storms Into Our Lives? S4E18
When a storm hits your life, how do you know if God sent it, Satan's behind it, or you just made a bad call? Join us as we talk about why God doesn't just gloss over our rebellion, how to discern a God-sent storm from the natural consequences of our own choices, and the danger of hiding behind "spiritual warfare" to dodge responsibility. From there the conversation turns practical: what it actually looks like to "throw yourself overboard" through confession and reconciliation, why rebellion is never isolated to just you, and how to respond when God calls you somewhere that makes no sense on paper.#ChurchUnscripted #Jonah #SpiritualWarfare #FaithPodcast #Brookside
