In this episode, I take a look at the life of Elijah—one of the boldest prophets in Scripture—and what happened when fear suddenly hijacked his brain. One chapter he’s calling down fire from heaven. In the next, he’s running for his life, exhausted, afraid, and asking God to let him die.
Using Elijah’s story, I talk about the spiritual journey from orientation to disorientation to reorientation. I also explore the powerful idea that “state drives story” and how the state of our nervous system can influence the stories we tell ourselves about our circumstances, health, relationships, and even God.
As always, I share some of my own personal struggles and what I’m learning and doing to overcome them.
I hope this episode provides you with some much-needed guidance and encouragement, no matter what stage of spiritual formation you find yourself navigating through.
