Misplaced Trust - with Eileen Hammerman

Come join Eileen Hammerman and I as we discuss how easily we can look to God’s good gifts to bring us satisfaction instead of worshiping Him.  These idols can sneak in and hide.  Our gracious God can use anything to weed them out, even the discontentment we feel when they can’t satisfy.  If you have wondered why you can’t find contentment or wish your circumstances would change so that you could feel joy, this episode is for you.   You can find Eileen at Finelinesinthefaith.comEileen’s blog posts where she shares some of her story.  https://www.finelinesinthefaith.com/not-my-story/https://www.finelinesinthefaith.com/not-my-story-part-2/  Click here for a full transcript of the show.  Journaling Questions:·      Am I looking for satisfaction in places other than God? ·      Can good come from the suffering or hardship I feel?  ·      Am I willing to look for the good God is working even in struggle?·      Am I discontent?  Why?  What am I looking to fill a need in my heart?  ·      What’s going on behind the crisis in my heart?·      How could God be using this to encourage me to trust Him more deeply?·      Where am I trusting in myself or others instead of trusting in God?We often find ourselves in this place and it can be overwhelming.  I have gathered some verses and some questions into a journaling resource to help us process what’s next- how do we act in trust? Sign up here to receive your free, 5-day journaling tool to help explore your next step of trust.    I want to hear from you! You can find me and join in the conversation on Facebook and Instagram @stepstotrusting.Hashtag your story of God’s faithfulness and stepping out in faith. #stepstotrusting Verses mentioned in the episode:·      Romans 1:25·      Philippians 1:6·      God takes our sin and gives us his righteousness·      Nothing new under the sun·      Ephesians 2:10 Special thanks to Jim Dougherty for creating the music for the show!
