How to Live Unafraid of the Future with Lisa Whittle

Hey friend! We all want to live without fear of the future, for ourselves and for our children. But, in today’s world, it’s easy to look around and wonder if it’s even possible. There’s just so many things outside of our control and how do we cope with them, much less live without fear. 

Today, my friend Lisa Whittle joins me on the show to talk about just that. We walk through those challenging questions we’ve all had about fear, pain and the future and what it means to trust God rather than give into fear. 

Lisa knows what she’s talking about, too! She is a best-selling author and has written a new book called God Knows, all about how those two little words can change our lives if we will let them.

Join us as we talk about: 

• How to lean into the comfort that God knows all and is in control, even (and maybe especially) in seasons of pain

• Why believing God knows can bring peace to motherhood

• The three reasons people stop dreaming (plus, how dreaming is a form of self-care!)

• An analogy that will change how you see boundaries and letting people into your inner circle

 

Once you hear this conversation, you’ll want to check out Lisa’s last visit to the show where we shared practical tips as you consider ways to move forward in strength. These conversations about dreams and goals will change your life.

Lisa Whittle is a Bible teacher, speaker, and host of the Jesus Over Everything podcast. She is the author of nine books, including her latest, God Knows: When Your Worries and Whys Need More Than Temporary Relief. Lisa and her husband, Scott, have three children and live in Charlotte, NC.

Favorite quotes:

• “It is hard to rest and rely on God for your pain relief but what choice do you have?”
• “When we actually get to know who God is and understand the vastness of what it means God knows. It shifts something within us.”
• “Dreaming is self-care.”
• “If you are a believer in Jesus Christ you definitely want to root your own life in him so as you root yourself in him your dreams come in alignment.”
• “When we become committed to our boundaries we only have to verbalize them 10% of the time.”
• “Choose your life travelers wisely.”
