Hey, Back Porchers. I want to enthusiastically invite you to join us at the Kerygma Summit. It's happening just in a few weeks, right here in Middle Tennessee. It's April 30th through May 2nd. It's like a Bible boot camp. It's for women who wanna dive deeper into God's Word with each other in a really authentic community. Um, you can find out more details at kerygmasummit.com or on my socials. It will not be the same without you. We hope you'll come.
Lisa Harper· Host0:26
In the natural, it doesn't make sense, but the saints who've walked through suffering- Yeah ... and they go, "God entrusted me this, and I wouldn't have trusted myself to carry it," there's a steward, and, and I'm not saying that's always what pain is. Sometimes pain is just a result of the fall. God did not plan for babies to be born with cancer. God didn't author human traffic... I'm not at all saying all pain is divinely authored. What I am saying is Joseph's story, what man intended for to evil, God will redeem for good.
Allison Allen· Host0:59
Yeah.
Lisa Harper· Host1:00
And sometimes we steward things that we can't understand- Yeah ... until much, much later in the story.
