When It's All Falling Apart (Courage through Change Redux Pt 1)

About this episode

This episode discusses how to find courage and strength in God during times of significant life changes and challenges, using the story of David in Ziklag as a reference.

Imagine that moment when the rug has been pulled out from under your life. Your home is gone. Your family is gone. Life as you know it is just over. This was the situation David faced in Ziklag, when Amalekites had raided his camps, burning down homes and taking families captive. What David faced wasn't just a challenging season - it was the potential uprising mutiny of his men. And what does David do? He "strengthened himself in the Lord" (1 Samuel 30:6). This story offers us so many deep lessons on how to face times when life seems to be falling apart, or when we can't keep up with life's changes. Join me as we briefly pause our "One Another" series for this special redux episode, part one of a 2-part lagniappe mini-series on having courage through seasons of change! (RAR2026EP23)
