Write this Down! with Dot Bowen

Got a question about today’s episode or something else you’d like to hear us talk about on the show? Let us know!

Why do bad things happen to good people, even when we have faith? In this episode, Dot and Cara continue their series on the book of Joshua by answering this question that was posed at the recent Breathe Retreat. They remind us that it’s not our faith that causes victory and encourage us to look for the places where God is at work, even when the outcomes are different than we’d hoped. They also talk about the faith of Rahab and what it can teach us about putting our trust in the Lord. Grab your Bible and journal and join us!
