Summary

It's hard enough to deal with feeling offended by people, but what do you do when you feel offended by God? In this on-air session with Alexandra Hoover, we talk about healthy vs. unhealthy ways to handle offense from people who hurt us deeply, and then we move into healthy ways to deal with feeling offended by God. We talk about important mindset shifts that need to happen, in order for us to be able to deal with our real and significant hurts, disappointment, and pain. How can offense bring us closer to God, rather than push us away from Him? If you've ever felt disappointed by God or by people, this conversation is just what you need.

And I think I said this to you, the last time we were here, and it is something that I always bring up because it has been such an important revelation from God when he

0:22.3

when he was able to in different seasons say like, hey, there's this belief you have about me

0:27.6

that really shapes so much of how you see the world and see me and see life. And so I think that's

0:34.2

coming back up. And I don't think that that is true anymore,

0:38.3

but I do think that I am wrestling with the justice side of things

0:42.3

and figuring out how to trust that he will be the one who,

in his own way, which is probably a part of it, maybe I'm processing out loud,

maybe it's a part of me allowing this release of control where it's like, I don't know how he is going to bring the outcome

or the justice or how he's going to handle it. And I think I need to let go of how I am expecting
