Summary
The rubber meets the road when moments of faith mark many a spiritual journey. For Teri Bowie, of our Oxford community, the sudden and unexpected loss of her adult son left her with a choice: run to God or run from Him.
Relying on His faithfulness, Teri says God handled her anger, sadness, and frustration—and that any heavy load can be lightened with the love of the Lord on your side.
In this episode, you will learn:
– We can praise and love God amidst our deepest hurts.
– He can handle our questions and doubts—He loves us.
– Look for His goodness and faithfulness in all circumstances.

| 0:11.7 | I had loved him for a long time, but the Holy Spirit said, no, I've got you, Terry, and you're not going that way. |
| 0:23.0 | Welcome to the Storytellers Live podcast, where everyday women share stories of hope found in Jesus. |
| 0:29.2 | I'm Robin, and I'm here with Katie and Lindy and we are your podcast host. |

| 0:36.8 | Happy birthday to Robin. Bye, birthday. But thank you both very much. |
| 0:42.3 | And today we are bringing you Terry Bowie from Oxford, Mississippi. And before Terry's story, as we're looking at summer, you guys may want to consider doing a when God shows up Bible study. We have two available. One is |

| 1:00.9 | it individually. So if you're looking for just some extra study over the summer, or it's great |
