This is a bonus episode that came from a discussion with my daughter about obedience. It occurred to me during our talk how much our obedience to do what God leads us to impacts others and can change the lives of people we don't even know. We are often scared to do the new thing, the obedient thing, but if it is what God has for us, it can be life changing for someone else. In my case, when God called me to go to China, I was scared and fought against going at first. When He called me to adopt Sarah, I also said no at first out of fear. Both of these situations impacted my life, but my obedience impacted Sarah even more; if I had continued in my disobedience, she would not have been adopted and her life would have turned out very differently.
I hope you enjoy this episode and would love for you to tell me your stories of obedience to God and the impact it has had. You can do that best on the Facebook page Hoping Forward Podcast.
