Life's Interruptions or Divine Invitations

from Draw Near · host Fred Shellabarger and Kara Kardell

What if the interruptions in your day aren’t distractions… but invitations? In this short reflective episode, Kara shares a personal insight drawn from her own life and the life of Christ in Scripture. Jesus never pushed people away because they weren’t part of “the plan.” He embraced them as the plan.This episode invites you to rethink the way you see the unexpected moments in your own life—those small or inconvenient interruptions—as potential encounters with God’s grace. This week, when you’re interrupted: Stop. Breathe. Reflect: “Lord, is this an invitation from you? Help me to embrace this moment and invite grace.”The show is sponsored by CyberCloak.Tech
