197: Welcoming Your Questions About God with Loving Curiosity with Lore Ferguson Wilbert

Have you ever found yourself asking questions about God? When we’re going through life trials or life is confusing, we tend to ask God questions such as “Where is God?” Maybe asking questions about God can feel uncomfortable, or even blasphemous, but the reality is that God created us to be curious beings. I invited author Lore Ferguson Wilbert to join us on the podcast to discuss how a real relationship with God allows room for God questions (including how to better understand God’s love for us) and provides opportunities to discover more of who He is and who we are in Him.Don’t miss this conversation as Lori and I discuss some of the questions we ask about God, including those she mentions in her excellent book A Curious Faith, and how curiosity can strengthen our relationship with God. WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:[07:21] Navigating life’s challenges and staying connected to God through asking questions[11:58] What keeps us from asking God questions?[16:46] How asking God questions and owning emotions can move us closer to God [23:24] Finding hope and security when you’re surrounded by God questions [28:15] Resting in God’s love when we struggle with shame and questions about acceptance [36:15]  The power of asking God the question, “What do you want to say to me?” [38:37] Questions Lore is currently asking God[40:44] How to open yourself up to curious questions to strengthen your relationship with God[43:41] First steps: Becoming more comfortable in your questions about GodRESOURCES MENTIONED: Join the Christian Mindset MakeoverGet the “I Am Loved” Bible Study Course  A Curious Faith By Lore Ferguson WilbertConnect with Lore: WebsiteInstagram TwitterGet the “I Am Loved” Bible Study Course  Are you walking through a difficult season and really need to know that God is with you and that He loves you? Then, friend, I want to invite you to join me for the “I Am Loved” 4-Week Bible Study. The “I Am Loved” Bible Study is designed to help you not only grow closer to God but to learn HOW to hear His loving voice in your heart so that you can get a fresh perspective on your circumstances. This is an ON-DEMAND study, meaning you can start it just when you need it.Join me for this life-changing Bible study so you can...Experience confident joy as God's love renews your mindFind peace as God's love helps you release worry and fearRediscover hope as God's love offers a new perspective on life's trialsGo to VibrantChristianLiving.com/love right now to get this awesome, on-demand Bible study on God’s love. Send us Fan Mail
