Listen "When God Tests"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome to this episode of God Talk, where I share my compelling experiences and reflections that took place right after Christmas. Over a span of two days, I underwent three significant tests, possibly divine in nature.
The first test involved an unexpected encounter with a man found sleeping by the church doors early one morning. The situation challenged my ability to offer compassion and aid while weighing personal and community safety concerns. What unfolded was a series of interactions that left me reflecting on kindness and discernment.
Just a day later, another test presented itself while grocery shopping. I unexpectedly crossed paths with a person from my past, someone I had contentious history with. This moment tested my capacity for forgiveness and acceptance, directly echoing the lessons I preached about during our Christmas service.
The final episode, though perhaps less tangible, involved a dream where forgiveness was again at the forefront, further challenging my ability to reconcile unresolved feelings.
Through sharing these personal trials, I explore how divine testing can shape our spiritual journey, reminding us that even if these tests are not from God, they still tighten the fibers of our faith.
