Sometimes we are tempted to ask the question, why doesn't God blank? When we are searching for

answers, there are two things we need to look at. One, the attitude of our hearts, and then two,

the truth that God is actually not silent on the most important questions.

Welcome to the Sheproos Faithful Podcast, episode number 109, truth and encouragement to live gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

Hey, everyone, this is Lauren.

Thank you so much for joining me on today's podcast. I'm excited about today's show. I was inspired by a sermon my pastor gave right before Christmas. I'm telling you,

Christmas is the season that keeps on giving. In fact, our Christmas lights are still up, and not only

that, they are still on, that's right. But this is the good news. We live here in Denver, and I literally just

heard on the news that we have the Western Stock Show in our town, and they say to keep up your

Christmas lights. Like it's been tradition to keep up your Christmas lights in Denver since the 40s

to welcome the Western Stock Show. So you have permission to keep your lights on for the

welcoming the ranchers. And then when it's over, you got to take them down, I guess. I don't know.

I didn't know that was tradition. So I feel like we're flying under the radar on that one.

If you're this podcast monthly through Patreon, I wanted to say thank you so much

and that you can check out stats from 2018 of how God used this podcast and kind of some

highlights.

You help provide so much. And one of the huge

blessings was a hosting site for my podcast where I can have more than 100 episodes, which was

such a big deal. I hit that landmark 100th episode in October. But the platform I was using

before would only kick 100 episodes over to iTunes. So I had to move it

to a different hosting site. And I was able to do that because of your generosity. So thank you.
