Episode Synopsis

Our world is in crisis. Authoritarianism is on the rise. Democracy is in decline. Nature seems to be striking back with ferocity. People are reacting as one might expect. Old mindsets are being challenged. Long-held beliefs are being threatened. Frustration and anxiety are running rampant and we seem to be teetering on the edge of a world war.
Of course, it’s not the first time. But the Lord offers a place of perfect peace in the midst of this storm. Just not the one that most people think. As believers, we’re in a small boat with Jesus.
The problems of the world are revealing the possibilities of the Kingdom of Heaven. People are experiencing God in entirely new ways. For the child of God, every problem is an opportunity to either receive or release divine promise or provision. Every circumstance is a chance to encounter or interact with another aspect of God's true nature. It is an opportunity to practice the presence of God in our lives. It is a learning process of expectation and anticipation of His presence, His voice, His will, and the very fruit of the Spirit in our lives.
The question every believer should be asking God, especially in every circumstance of adversity they face is, “Lord, who do you want to be for me now that you couldn't be for me before or outside of this situation?”
What about you? Where is your focus? Are you reacting to what you see and hear in the world around you or are you responding to what the Holy Spirit is impressing on your heart?
