Summary

Today we have a real treat for you! In our final episode in the Obedience series we’re bringing you a talk from Elisabeth Elliot—a message to challenge and encourage all of us. She asks questions like “whose agenda are you following?” and “how do I respond when I feel like God isn’t supplying my needs?” If you wonder if God has forgotten you, withheld good things from you, or you want to trust his promises more, this talk is for you. Elisabeth lived through many difficulties, unanswered prayers, life on the mission field as a single mom, and she even outlived two husbands. Her words are a kind reminder that you can never drift beyond God’s love and care. ____
