Welcome back to the Ransomed Heart Podcast. I'm John Eldridge and with me is

Bart Hanson Craig McConnell. We were talking offline recently about all the economic stuff that's been going on and

watching our savings and and retirement accounts and getting hammered by the stock market as I'm sure everyone

has been kind of reeling at some level, obviously some more than others, but we just thought let's talk about that how do you

find God in that what does that raise in you in a hopes that maybe our conversation will be a help to our listeners as we probably continue to face some

roller coaster Coaster times ahead and thinking through gosh

what does that provoke in you when the first big slam hit and you know the economy looks like it's going to fall off a cliff

What what occurred to you what took place in your soul?

Yeah John for me, this whole thing has played through many cycles in my life and I've been on top, I've been on bottom and on top again and on bottom again and in the economy has

been something that has stalked my life but you know when you when you see those huge moves and it characterized by the news flashes as nothing like

this has occurred since a great depression and oh yeah all of these things you know I mean the

first thing that comes is is panic you know it's panic you know it's panic you immediately go to, okay, I'm losing everything, so what does life look like for me?

And then the whole speculation thing just takes over.

Okay, panic.
