“When God Interviews Us”Meet Me in the Middle -- with Lindsay Pollard & Joy Martin || Episode 60

Are you feeling like life is a bit surreal right now? Does the unshakable seem out of reach while everything is shaking around us? No time to come up for air before the next round hits? How do I tell the difference between what’s true and what’s fake news? Narratives? Agendas? Right? Wrong? How we can live with integrity in an ever-changing world.Do you feel loved and worthy to be chosen for this season or whiny and complaining wondering, “Why me, God?” (FYI, the hosts had 2 different answers.  )If any of this resonates, then this is for YOU!Join us for a cathartic, honest conversation as we discuss hope in a turbulent and prophetic time. Let’s have some open dialogue as we seek to navigate where there might be some unifying spaces, looking up to see the long-range view and perspective from saturated time in God’s presence.As Lindsay brings up a thought to ponder… “The Believer’s Exit Exam: truth, choice, and service,” let’s ask ourselves, are we ready for the EXIT EXAM? Turns out, God interviews us with powerful questions that get to the heart of the things that trigger us, trip us up, tempt or allure us away from His best for us. We’ll share 5 key questions God asks that will help us navigate our changing world with integrity.Spoiler alert: Not only does God give us the questions (starting in Genesis), but He graciously gives us the answers, as well (see Matthew 24 and 25 for starters).God’s interview questions will keep us accountable, guarding our hearts from being deceived and our love from growing cold. We’ll see the answer for how to keep our anger in check, flip the script for good, anchor in Jesus, and not grow weary in doing good.Go back to the Garden of Eden with us. Let’s immerse ourselves in God’s presence as we walk with Him in the garden – without an agenda – listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit.*CREDIT: The book mentioned in this podcast is Healing What’s Within: Coming Home to Yourself—and to God—When You’re Wounded, Weary, and Wandering, by Chuck DeGroat, Published October 8, 2024, Tyndale House Publishers,ISBN: 978-1-4964-8314-0Video Production: Lisa Jane BewleyCo-Hosts: Lindsay Pollard & Joy Waters Martin
