You come in, you keep up the pretense, I've got it all together, and then you fall into a place of, I can't keep this hidden anymore.

It's like this huge, oh my goodness, how can I tell people that I need help?

And so I just want to create from the front of our congregation.

Like, we all have stuff to work through.

And so let's just be front forward about that so that we can actually take steps in authenticity towards healing.

All of us have tough questions. We wish we could ask God sometimes. Life is hard and we wonder,

does God know what I'm going through? Throughout history, God has said to his people,

I see you, I know you, and I will make this right. This is a crucial message for women today as we so deeply need to rest in an all-knowing God

who can handle what is happening in the world and in our lives.

Releasing October 3rd, my new Bible study, Your God Knows, draws on scripture throughout the Old and New Testaments

as I help answer six critical questions

for our times. Am I forgotten? How does good come from bad? Do my desires and dreams matter?

Am I generationally blessed or cursed? Will God make wrong things right? And will I be okay?

This six-session interactive video-based companion to my book, God Knows, explores

Nahum, a rarely studied collection of prophetic poems to remind us that God is ever present

and always working, even when we feel alone or discouraged.

If you want to know deep in your soul that a sovereign God understands your pain and will

one day make all things new, get your group together or grab a copy of your God knows and study

solo, I truly believe this study is for you. I'm too excited today. I'm excited to have on my dear

friend Ike Miller, pastor of Bright City Church in Durham, North Carolina, married to his co-pastor, also my dear friend Sharon Hoddy Miller, who's been on this show before. And though Ike has written before about the intersection of faith, mental health, and family of origin issues. He is a first-time author

of new book, Good Baggage. Ike, welcome to Joe. Well, Lisa, it is so good to be on here. I'm super

excited as well. I've been looking forward to our conversation and just excited to be on here.
