Summary
When the unexpected circumstances of life catch us by surprise, it's easy to morph into "go-mode" - an analogy today's storyteller knows all too well.
Allyson Mouron, from our community group in Mountain Brook, Alabama, shares her journey of faith and trust in Jesus as she struggled with infertility and then the sudden loss of both her father and her best friend. Through brokenness, hardship, and pain, Allyson reminds us the importance of learning to let go of control and find rest in surrendering to the One Who controls it all.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:
- The safest and easiest place to be is a place of surrender.
- Rest and peace are found in refocusing your mind.
- You are called to only do two things - love God and love others.
