163. Divine Detours -- Lori Ann Wood

Have you ever wondered if it is okay to question God? Is it okay to have doubts and ask why God? Where are you God? Is your plan good? Sometimes it does not feel good right now, so can I trust You? All of these are honest questions that we can bring to God. And it is okay to ask these hard questions. I love that we dive deeper into this on the podcast today when I talk with Lori Ann Wood about her new book, *Divine Detour: The Path You'd Never Choose Can Lead to the Faith You've Always Wanted. I have to say that if I am honest, I have asked these hard questions along the detours of my life. Maybe you have too. I am excited for us to talk about this because I think sometimes we assume if we have these questions then maybe our faith is not as strong as we thought it was. I am hear to tell you that is not true. I love the wisdom that Lori Ann brings as she shares about her detour and how God used these questions to grow her faith deeper.
