What Alaska Taught Me About God

Send us Fan MailYou had a plan. The weather had a different one. And somehow, in the middle of everything falling apart, the best part of the day showed up anyway.Rob lives in Homer, Alaska — at the end of the road system, on the edge of Kachemak Bay — and this place has been teaching him things about God that he couldn't have learned anywhere else. In this episode, he tells the story of a fishing trip that went sideways in every direction: forgotten lunch, brutal weather, a detour to a village with no road access, and a catch that only happened after he stopped trying to manage the day.It's a story about a God who is bigger than your preferences, more present than your plans, and not at all nervous about the thing that's making you nervous right now.Anchored in Job 38, Psalm 19, and Romans 1:20, this episode is for anyone who has been carrying a picture of God that's a little too small for the life they're actually living.You don't have to move to Alaska for this.
