Episode 69: Finding Comfort in God’s Presence
Episode description
Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know!
Elijah got to see God perform amazing miracles, but he still felt afraid and wondered if God’s provision was enough for him. In this episode, Dot and Cara talk about the parallels they notice between Elijah’s escape from Jezebel and the fears many of us experience in our own lives. They discuss the way that God cared for Elijah in the midst of his exhaustion and explain how just like Elijah, we can almost miss God’s presence if we’re only looking out for a major miracle. Grab a cup of coffee and listen in!
