Each of us have experienced a wake up call in some way or another. This could be related to a car accident, a bad health report, losing a loved one, or walking through a divorce. No matter the situation, there is an “in-between” time of living in the unknown.

In this episode, Josh and Christi sit down with their dear friends, Bill and Laurie Lokey to discuss how we can live our life to the fullest even in the middle of the unknown. Coaches for the Leader’s Heart Cohort, therapists, speakers, and teachers of faith. Bill and Laurie open up about Bill’s current journey with cancer, and the lessons they’re learning in the unknown.

Here are some highlights:

  • To move forward in our difficulties, we have to stop carrying the keys to doors we no longer live in.
  • What it looks like to journey with the people in our life in active “withness.”
  • What it looks like to actually trust Jesus in the day-to-day unknowns of our hardship.

Show Notes:

John wrote, “We love because He first loved us” (1 John 4:19, CSB). Our capacity to love and “see” our kids is a reflection of how well we have received love and felt “seen” by others. 
 
When we feel seen, we feel loved. 
When we feel loved, we see others. 
When others feel seen, they feel loved. 
When others feel loved, they see others. 
And the cycle continues. 
 
This is how we build the Kingdom of God—by experiencing the love of a Father who is closer to us than our clothes. 
 
A Father who is compassionate. 
A Father who is gracious. 
A Father who is slow to anger. 
A Father who is abounding in steadfast love.

None of us can live fully alive and “see” others without that security. And your Heavenly Father knows that. Which is why He’s always available.
