Ep.459: The Gospel for Midlife with Courtney Doctor

What does the Gospel, the big message of who God is in the world, have to do with the here and now? Everything. Midlife is a time of transition, often unexpected change, and trusting that God is with us every turn and upheaval is a gift that stabilizes us in a season that can feel anything but stable. Courtney Doctor is the perfect person to be with us in this conversation. Through her work as the Director of Women's Initiatives at The Gospel Coalition, Courtney speaks with women of all life stages about how God's big story right sizes our current stress. When we remember who God IS and what he PROMISES, we can feel a little more sure that we will get through the day. No amount of midlife stress will change God's nature or plan for the world. This is an episode about God meeting us where we are right now at this very moment. We hope it meets you in your deepest need - he can and he does.
