173. When God Doesn't Show Up with a Life Preserver

<p><strong>Key Conversation Points:</strong></p> <ul> <li>This is a golden nugget from our podcast vault of precious and timeless truths from Lisa Jo's daughter, Zoe, when she was nine. Listen as they delve through winter, waiting and hope.  </li> <li>Straight up ugly is Zoe's favorite. Do you see the beauty in the dead of winter too? Even with everything gone, there's still the roots underground.</li> <li>How did Lisa-Jo and Peter eat their words during the pandemic? </li> <li>God gives good gifts and waits until the perfect time. </li> <li>Jesus doesn't want to give us a thing but wants to give us HIMSELF! He doesn't give a life preserver, but instead he gives His presence! </li> <li>Thank you <a href="https://www.cornerstonelabradoodles.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cornerstone</a> for your ministry!</li> </ul> <div>Friends, please take a moment to subscribe to the show and leave us a review!</div> <p><strong>Podcast links:</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">Click here</a> to join the conversations we have with listeners every week around the podcast. <a href= "https://www.blackbarnonline.com/">https://www.blackbarnonline.com/</a></p> <p>_______</p> <p>Sponsor appreciation: We're so grateful to partner with show sponsors that keep making our work possible.</p> <p><a href="https://greenchef.com/ordinary130">Click here</a> to visit Green Chef and use code ordinary130 to get $130 off including free shipping!
