Storms Are Inevitable in Life
Storms in life and recovery are inevitable and uncontrollable, just like weather.
The key is not if a storm comes, but how you choose to respond when it does.

Fleeing Storms Prolongs Pain
Cows flee storms only to spend more time in them because they move with the storm.
Fleeing a storm increases pain and frustration instead of resolving the problem quickly.

Fleeing is sometimes necessary, like Joseph fleeing Potiphar's wife.

What if the very storms you're desperately trying to outrun are actually the pathway to your healing?
Sexual brokenness, unwanted desires, betrayal, and shame can feel like overwhelming tempests in our lives. Many of us respond by running—numbing out through pornography, hiding in isolation, staying in denial, or blaming others. In today's podcast, we look at the unique actions of buffalo.
Unlike cows that flee from storms (only to spend more time in them), buffalo turn and charge directly into oncoming weather. With their thick, protective coats shielding their most vulnerable areas, they instinctively understand that the fastest way through a storm is straight through it. This behavior parallels the recovery journey perfectly.
While Scripture acknowledges there are appropriate times to flee from temptation (like Joseph running from Potiphar's wife), lasting healing requires the courage to eventually face our storms head-on.
Are you ready to stop running and start facing? The freedom and wholeness you seek await on the other side of your courage. Listen now to discover how to approach your recovery journey like a buffalo rather than a cow.
