Faith vs. Feeling: A Christian Testimony

After being told over the phone that she and her husband would never have children, one woman ran outside in devastation — and discovered that praise, not pity, was the key to hearing God's voice again. This honest Christian testimony unpacks the difference between a faith built on scripture and a faith built on emotion. Jill Morikone shares how her early Christian walk was shaped by "good days" and "cloudy days," mistakenly believing her relationship with God was only as strong as her current mood or feelings. Everything shifted when a doctor delivered devastating news about her and her husband's infertility, sending her into the yard in tears until she sensed God telling her to count her blessings instead of dwelling on the loss. As she forced herself to praise God through her pain, her entire emotional state transformed, teaching her that faith rests on the unchanging authority of God's Word, not on how any given day happens to feel. In this episode, you will hear: Why Jill used to measure her closeness to God by her daily mood The devastating infertility diagnosis that changed her prayer life The instruction to "count your blessings" instead of asking for pity How choosing praise over feelings led to a dramatic shift in her emotions Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ2TB-CeuL-Ewag2dXWlz-A8 Music Credits: Clouds by Ethereal 88 | ethereal88.bandcamp.com Music promoted by www.free-stock-music.com Creative Commons / Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)
