Ellen Bond says, anytime we want the Christian life to look a certain, idealized way, we need to be careful.

A results-oriented faith is one that is not faith at all, because essentially we're walking by sight.

If I can see the results, my faith is robust.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walglooth, co-author of You Can Trust God to Write Your Story.

For September 16th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

Do you love Jesus, but find your own performance-based thinking gets in the way?

How do you respond when you've done everything right?

But things just don't go according to your plan.

That's something Elizabeth Elliott had to grapple with early in her adult life.

This week on Revive Our Hearts, Nancy's in conversation with Ellen Vaughn.

Ellen wrote the authorized biography, becoming Elizabeth Elliott.

Now, some of what Nancy and Ellen are going to discuss on today's program might be a little

too violent for young

children, so you might want to busy them elsewhere.

Remember, you can always listen later through the Revive Our Hearts app or at Revive Our Hearts.com.

Here's Nancy.

Ellen, one of my favorite Elizabeth Elliott books actually records events that took place before she was Elizabeth Elliott

when she was still Betty Howard. It's the book called These Strange Ashes. I know you've read it,

you're familiar with it. That book has so impacted my life as we see some of what Elizabeth had

dreamed of, had thought she was going to do as she was serving the Lord,

and how at a period of time it seemed like it all amounted to nothing.

We're going to talk about that season of her life today, but thank you first for joining us here on Revive Our Hearts again.
