from Abiding Trails · host Chasity
Ever specifically ask God for patience and then wonder what you were thinking?Yeah, me too. His response was to send me eight pitbulls.In this episode of Abiding Trails, we're getting honest about the hilarious, humbling, sanctifying reality of what it actually looks like to steward powerful dogs while trying to grow in your faith. Because James 1:2-4 says "trials of various kinds" produce steadfastness—but nobody tells you that sometimes those trials have blocky heads, selective hearing, and zero respect for your morning coffee.What we cover in this episode: • Why everyday chaos with your dogs counts as biblical "trials of various kinds" • The trail story that completely humbled me and changed how I handle frustration• Three practical ways to build steadfastness without losing your mind • Why laughing at the beautiful chaos is actually a biblical response • A brand new direction for Abiding Paws that's been on my heart for monthsWe talk serious stewardship on this show, but sometimes you just have to laugh at the reality that God uses stubborn dogs and 6am zoomies to sanctify us in ways we never expected.RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:👕 NEW HUMOR TEE: "I Asked God for Patience.
