Shift Happens Week 3

What this episode covers

Today we are continuing our series Shift Happens: When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned. We are talking about how to move through seasons when our life takes a left turn, goes off track, or isn’t working out as we expected. Each week we are looking at a different reason why by reading the stories of people in scripture who had their own plans fail for different reasons. As we read their stories we are learning strategies for how God can lead us through those same circumstances in our own life. Today we are going to look at the prophet Jeremiah. If I could sum up the story of Jeremiah, I would say that he is the guy who did everything right, everything that he was supposed to do and that God asked of him, and yet all he experienced was failure and the falling apart of his plans. And yet, Jeremiah had this incredible capacity to keep going, to keep hoping, even in the face of setback after setback. So today I want to talk about how we keep going when it feels like all we are dealt is obstacles and curveballs.
