The Unexpected Life

from Captivated · host Stasi Eldredge, Melanie Boudreau

In today’s podcast, Stasi sits down with pastor and author Melanie Boudreau to talk about the unexpected life. Naturally, we pray and work towards the life that we hope for, but how do we respond when God gives us something other than what we planned for? It's hard to surrender our self-life and step out of our comfort zone, but with our identity deeply rooted in Christ, there is no limit to what he can do with us and through us—even when life is challenging. Show Notes:MelanieBoudreau.com@melanie_boudreauMelanie's Book: Toppling the Idols of IdealPsalm 103:19-21The LORD has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strengthwho carry out His word,who hearken to the voice of His command.Bless the LORD, all His hosts,you servants who do His will.
