4:13 Podcast with Jennifer Rothschild
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
What does it mean to be blessed? Are Christians automatically entitled to happiness, fulfillment, and perfect peace? Does God’s presence guarantee us emotional ease amidst suffering?
Wow! Those are some very interesting questions, aren’t they?
Well today, you are about to get far more than interesting answers. You are going to be enlightened and inspired as we talk about our expectations of what a life of faith should feel like when facing difficulties.
Author Amanda Held Opelt joins us and shares her own experience of loss and grief. And, like so many others, she expected her faith to cushion her from the pains of life. But when it didn’t, she was left disappointed and disillusioned.
So today, she debunks the myth that if you’re struggling, something must be wrong.
She’ll explain what the emotional prosperity gospel is, adjust your expectations of how faith shows up in your feelings, and help you reimagine what it really means to be “blessed.”
