Floodwaters: The Biblical Journey from Anxiety to Peace (Jez Carr)
Listen now
Description
There is a deep resonance between our feelings of anxiety and our fear of out-of-control water. We feel ‘overwhelmed’, ‘flooded’. This resonance was shared by the authors of Scripture, who depict floods, storms and towering waves within the emotional landscape of God’s people. In fact, the bible story is saturated with water imagery. We will explore how that offers us company within our struggles, hope within the story of God’s victory over them, and wisdom for how to handle them.  The Copyright for all material on the podcast is held by L'Abri Fellowship.
