Chris and Julie Bennett share their journey of leaving their church to follow God's call despite facing challenges like cancer and a pandemic. They discuss risks in obedience, hearing God's voice, and overcoming fears. The podcast delves into balancing ministry and family, embracing vulnerability, building faith, and seeking grace in following a divine path.
Stepping out in faith often requires trusting God without complete clarity, leading to profound adventures.
Prioritizing family over ministry can be challenging but rewarding, bringing peace and growth through obedience to God's call.
Deep dives
Faith and Risk
Stepping out in faith is often hindered by doubts and uncertainties about whether the call is from God or personal insecurities. Knowing when to say yes to God's call, even without clarity on the details, can lead to profound adventures.
Transitioning and Obedience
Transitioning from ministry to prioritize family can feel challenging but ultimately rewarding. Obedience to God's leading brings peace and opens new doors for growth and understanding.
Moving to LA
Responding to God's call to move to LA without a clear plan or financial security demonstrates faith as spelled 'R-I-S-K'. Trusting in God's provision and staying obedient amidst uncertainties can lead to unexpected blessings.
Parenting and Creating Space
Navigating life's challenges, including cancer diagnoses and financial struggles, while parenting children requires creating safe spaces for authenticity and emotions. By practicing humility, true confession, and repentance, family relationships can be strengthened and transformed.
Many of us want certainty before we take the step, but God often invites us to trust Him with the process. This week on At Home with the Beveres, Addison and Juli sit down with Chris and Julie Bennett to unpack what it means to walk in bold faith.
The Bennett's left their church, their community, and their comfort to follow God’s call. Shortly after moving, they dealt with a cancer diagnosis, a relapse, and the global pandemic. Despite these challenges, they saw God provide in miraculous ways for their family. They'll share their journey of resilience and trust in God's plan.
Tune in for insights on hearing God, the risks involved in obedience, and the common fears that come with stepping out in faith!
