In this episode of 'God and Our Dogs,' host Meg Greer shares stories that draw parallels between the behavior of dogs and our relationship with God. Featuring guests Andrew Ian, Kendall County, Texas Commissioner, and Kevin Thompson, Boerne Market President for Frost Bank, the episode explores the theme 'headed in the wrong direction.' Through anecdotes about their dogs, Aggie and Hank, listeners gain insights into trust, routines, and overcoming fears. Andrew's story about Aggie, a Border Collie, illustrates how we sometimes wrongly assume we know the path, missing out on opportunities to spend time with God. Kevin's tale of Hank, a rescue dog with anxiety issues, reflects our fears and the reassurance that God never abandons us. The episode concludes with a reflection on letting go of misunderstandings and fears to receive God's best.
