Navigating in the Storm Part 2

With three small children and on the edge of complete financial disaster, Brody and Julie sunk deep into their faith. What they learned about God in the turmoil of the trial gave them a strong emotional foundation to walk through life. See how God can bring inner strength despite circumstances.

You will hear:

Everything started to fall apart from a business sense. Every time we turned around there was a gut-wrenching issue that was hard. Not wanting to blame God, but still, God, I know you can fix this. I learned a lot more about spiritual warfare. Satan does not want you to be victorious in your walk with the Lord. – Julie

Trusting Him is giving Him everything even the things you have worked on. I had to give up some things I did not want to give up. – Brody

Once I understood spiritual warfare, everything began to shift. – Julie

We live in a fallen world and it is hard. – Julie

If You want to take it all away, take it all away. – Brody

If we have to sit in this a long time, we’ll wait on You, but we are not moving without You. – Julie

Our kids were so young we did not expose them to the struggles we were going through. We did not want to burden them with fear at the ages they were at. – Brody

Coming home and having them run to greet me was like Disneyland. - Brody

Fight the good fight of faith, take hold of the eternal life to which you were called. – 1 Timothy 6:12

Nothing is wrong with you. – Julie

It is a time of intensity and struggle for a lot of parents and they are not alone. It is scary to raise kids at this time. For every generation before, there were physical threats known that would have to get close enough to your kids to harm them. That is not the case anymore. Technology and the things kids have available to them is super scary. There are all kinds of avenues to your kids. They can get under your roof without you knowing. They don’t have to pass through the front door. But God has told us to be fruitful and multiply. He has told us to trust Him. He has told us; He is on the throne and He is not leaving the throne. - Julie
