Made For This with Jennie Allen

What we are witnessing right now is the decimation of the country and people of Afghanistan. The Taliban has a hit list of known Christians that they are targeting to hunt down and kill. But these believers are not hopeless... I've had 3 conversations this week with my friend Pastor X and his team that have changed my faith. History has shown that persecution grows the church and you guys.. these Jesus followers on the ground in Afghanistan are still on mission, hopeful, and willing to die for their faith.

Nothing is more dangerous, more compelling, more freeing, more radical, more real, more satisfying, more powerful than a person holding a smidgen of faith. A sincere faith in Jesus and all He wants to do around us wakes us up, rattles our lives, shifts every perspective, issues hope in pain, and ignites purpose.

The world will tell us that with a little more effort, less of this, more of that, THEN we'll be free. But the Gospel gives an entirely different way. Jesus saves and He also sustains.

We all have hurts, bitterness, baggage and what I want to do today is take an honest look at what that is. I want to unpack the things that are causing us to fear. 1. What hurt are you holding on to and why? 2. How do you think Jesus feels about your pain or disappointment? 3. Is there value in going to difficult places? If so, what is it? 4. How have you seen Jesus redeem some of your darkest times? 5. How has that strengthened your hope and trust in Him? 6. Is there any other hurt or disappointment that you’re avoiding? If so, what is it? 7. How can I love you well right now? We love this audioBible app called Dwell, sign up here: https://dwellapp.io/aff?ref=jennieallen
