On today's episode Jen Brooks, Bible study teacher, author, and speaker joins us to share her wisdom on navigating these difficult times. Together, we explore why our result-driven society makes it challenging to remain still and how we can find a divine purpose hidden in the waiting. Jen offers practical advice for fighting impatience and the temptation to run away when facing uncertainty. By tuning in, you'll gain valuable insights on embracing these periods with faith and trust.
3 ways we’re tempted to run and what to do instead.

1. Instead of devising your own plan - submit to His

2. Instead of resisting Him and turning away from Him - go to Him (Mt 11:28)

3. Instead of letting your thoughts run into destructive places - take them captive to Christ.

Jen is offering a free gift-Spiritual Warfare Toolkit Spiritual Warfare Toolkit - (anchoredandassured.com), which can help you combat negative thoughts and doubts with God's truth. Whether you're currently in a season of waiting or supporting someone who is, this episode promises to leave you feeling encouraged, grounded, and hopeful.

Embark on an intimate odyssey of resilience as Crystal Loyd welcomes the inspiring Robin Sachara, whose personal narrative of overcoming early trauma unveils the raw reality of a silenced child's world. Through our dialogue, Robin reveals her early struggles with abuse and the daunting path to her adolescent marriage, revealing the suffocating pressures from family and religious expectations. Her candid recollections expose a young spirit wrestling with voicelessness yet eventually finding solace in the transformative embrace of faith and self-awareness.

This episode not only recounts the agonizing moments of Robin's life but also celebrates the redemptive journey she undertook, from a harrowing assault at 19 to an unsupported abortion, further testing her self-worth. Robin's unshakeable belief in God emerges as a beacon of hope, guiding her toward a recognition of her intrinsic value and significance in His eyes.

Robin is now helping with the East Tennessee Pregnancy Resource Center https://www.youmakeherbrave.com/? and Deeper Still East Tennessee retreats http://www.deeperstilleasttn.com/? Robin shares her story in hopes to help other women who have been through what she has had to go through in her young childhood, as teenager and as a woman.

On today's episode Crystal helps us understand why hard things or hard times come into our life. We first talk about the ways we handle those times. She gives us 5 different reasons/possibilities we are facing those hard times or hard things that come into our life.

First, We are in a spiritual battle. Second, God allows that hard thing to come in our life. We see this in Job's life. Third, By our own doing, by own choices, Jonah is a perfect example. Fourth, We reap what others sowed. As children we reap what our parents sowed. Fifth, Life is just so darn hard. In this life we will have troubles.

The next time something hard comes into your life or if you find yourself in a hard situation right now. Ask God to reveal to you.

· God why has this hard thing, or hard time come into my life?

· God which of these 5 reasons is it? Is it any of these reasons at all?

· Write down what God reveals to you in your journal.

· Pray over what God reveals to you.

God loves us in our running days, and in our not so running days too.

· This too shall pass, & brighter days are ahead.

· No Thing is too hard for God.
