Summary

In this week’s episode with Jill Atogwe, Hunter and Jill talk about our natural tendency toward discontent, and how even our areas of deficiency and lack can press us more into Jesus. We pray this episode reminds you that even in—perhaps especially in—those places where you feel most weak and humbled, there is space for growth and intimacy with God. “Is God really good?” Have you ever found yourself asking this question? When the diagnosis comes back, when everything crashes down, when the other shoe drops… In the midst of suffering, if you listen to your feelings and to the world, the answer to that question is “No.” But, as Jill reminded us in this week’s episode, “if you open the Word, you will see the One that God loved most—himself—he allowed to live a life of suffering and to die a death of the ultimate untouchable suffering for us to live with him in eternity forever.” Sister, in your difficulty remember what is true: God is good and he can only do good (Psalm 119:68). You can trust him. FULL SHOW NOTES GET THE DWELL APP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some things you feel that God has “left out” of your story? How have these deficiencies, or things you felt like God left out, pressed you into more of Christ? What does it look like for you to deal with discontentment in your life? What root sins come up when you are faced with lack? Are there any passages from Scripture that you find encouraging in your struggle with discontent? Consider memorizing one this week! What might you do or implement based on what you learned in this week’s episode?
