Letting God’s Yes Be Enough When You Don’t Understand the Why with Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins (Pt. 1) – Episode 1031
from That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs · host That Sounds Fun Network
You may know Thomas Rhett from his incredible country music career or Lauren from her beloved Live in Love podcast or book, but I want you to get to know (and hear) their deep faith today. When they called me and said, “We want to tell the story of what God did in our lives last year,” I knew we had to share it. As we talk about prayer this month, I want you to hear what perseverance and obedience in prayer looked like in their lives through this story. Last year, they spent 6 weeks living in Uganda after sensing God telling them that’s what they were supposed to do, and it wasn’t the trip they imagined. At all. You’re going to hear the entire story along with their journey over the last couple years of trying to figure out if they should grow their family (spoiler alert: Lauren is due any minute with their 5th!). In these two episodes, you'll hear the power of prayer, the way God speaks when we make space to listen for His voice, the reminder that we’re never alone, and the reality that obedience to God is never promised to be easy. You’re not going to want to miss part 2 coming your way on Thursday. And remember, head over to spirituallystronger.com today where we’re processing what perseverance and obedience in prayer looks like in our lives. View the show notes here . . . .
