We love asking God to rescue us.

We’re just not always crazy about the route He chooses.

What if deliverance looks like walking between two walls of water? What if rescue takes you straight through the furnace? What if the answer to “Help me” is a road you never would have chosen for yourself?

In this episode, Joyce, Judy, and Amie talk about trusting God when His rescue doesn’t look—or feel—anything like the one we had in mind.

Joyce admits she’d like to keep one hand on the steering wheel and she and Judy take us through some of Scripture’s most terrifying rescues. Amie reminds us that sometimes God hands us a shovel when we ask Him to move a mountain. And the conversation gets deeply personal when Joyce shares how God met her in one of the darkest moments of her life.

Maybe faith isn’t trusting the route. Maybe it’s trusting the Rescuer.
