Count it all joy, the Bible says, when we face trials of various kinds. In this final episode of 2023 I share some thoughts on scripture from James chapter 1 on how we look at trials in our lives as believers and how we should respond to them. Jesus already told us that in this life we would have trials, so are you prepared to grow from them?

 “Into the Storm”

https://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-finding-healing-hardships-ebook/dp/B0CFK5XMZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CEMDE2MQC8FE&keyword

 

It’s so easy to forget our position as believers. We get so caught up and distracted with the things of this world and we lose sight of the Kingdom. As a believer, we are sons and daughters of the Most High, so why do we still walk around defeated with our heads down or distracted and busy pursuing temporary pleasures when we have access to the King?!   Connect- [email protected] Community- https://bit.ly/Anchoredin Website- https://anchoredinalways.com/      “Into the Storm” https://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-finding-healing-hardships-ebook/dp/B0CFK5XMZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CEMDE2MQC8FE&keywords=into+the+storm+katie+thornhill&qid=1693482456&sprefix=Into+the+Storm%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1   "Kingdom Woman" by Tony Evans: https://www.amazon.com/Kingdom-Woman-Embracing-Purpose-Possibilities/dp/1624053548/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=KJ4SK5AGLSC2&keywords=kingdom+woman+tony+evans+book&qid=1701955945&sprefix=kingdom+w%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-1

In this episode I share 2 different situations where I cried out to the Lord for help and although the outcome for each was very different, I experienced a peace that didn’t make sense in both of them! Listen as a share several passages from God's Word that helped me walk through two painful trials, how I'm learning to have gratitude in all things and how in doing this I have found a deep hope for the future. God is doing a brand new thing in our lives and hearts and I can’t wait!

It’s easy to look at someone else and judge them based on their behavior. But what brought them to that place? In each of us is build a heart for worship. The problem is sin and where we choose to place our worship. Is what you are bowing down to bringing you life and peace or leading to destruction?

Join me as we continue the conversation about relationships and boundaries but focusing more in this episode on forgiveness. We can sometimes feel like we are “letting them off the hook” but is that even our responsibility? Listen as my dad, Pastor Mike Stambaugh shares several scriptures on the importance of forgiveness and being able to emotionally release those who have offended or hurt us and leave the consequences to God which ultimately frees us!   Connect- [email protected] Community- https://bit.ly/Anchoredin Website- https://anchoredinalways.com/      “Into the Storm” https://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-finding-healing-hardships-ebook/dp/B0CFK5XMZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CEMDE2MQC8FE&keywords=into+the+storm+katie+thornhill&qid=1693482456&sprefix=Into+the+Storm%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1   “Love Must be Tough” https://www.amazon.com/Love-Must-Be-Tough-Marriages/dp/141431745X/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2K9O5J3XRCE01&keywords=love+must+be+tough+dobson&qid=1698320327&sprefix=love+must%2Caps%2C84&sr=8-1  

Sometimes we may feel that placing boundaries is unloving. Listen as I share how placing boundaries for myself has lead to more authenticity in my relationships, allowing me to bring a more honest and confident version of myself to the table. How we often try to misplace boundaries and put them on other people, who we can't control and end up more angry and frustrated. This is just the beginning of this super important conversation on the importance of placing healthy boundaries and what that looks like in our lives!     Connect- [email protected] Community- https://bit.ly/Anchoredin Website- https://anchoredinalways.com/     Good Boundaries and Goodbyes by Lysa Terkeurst:   https://www.amazon.com/Good-Boundaries-Goodbyes-Loving-Without-ebook/dp/B09X43TPY2/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?crid=3FJAQWGV46ZJO&keywords=good+boundaries+and+goodbyes+lysa+terkeurst&qid=1697114437&s=books&sprefix=lysa%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-3-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1         “Into the Storm” https://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-finding-healing-hardships-ebook/dp/B0CFK5XMZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CEMDE2MQC8FE&keywords=into+the+storm+katie+thornhill&qid=1693482456&sprefix=Into+the+Storm%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1      

Join me as I share why it's important in finding the balance in our lives between “feeling our feelings” but not making impulsive decisions from an emotional place. What does it look like to move forward in faith even when you feel or don’t feel it or there is uncertainty?  How God has called me to “pull up my tent pegs” and stop camping out in complacency waiting for my feelings when I know He’s calling me to move forward in faith!   Connect- [email protected] Community- https://bit.ly/Anchoredin Website- https://anchoredinalways.com/     Link to order “Courageous Faith- claiming your promised land through the book of Joshua by Amy Craighead   https://www.amazon.com/Courageous-Faith-Claiming-Promised-Through/dp/0692140808/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1LY7NSVBHLTX3&keywords=Courageous+Faith+by+Amy+Craighead&qid=1695905516&sprefix=courageous+faith+by+amy+craighead%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-1   Link to order “Into the Storm”   https://www.amazon.com/Into-Storm-finding-healing-hardships-ebook/dp/B0CFK5XMZ3/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2CEMDE2MQC8FE&keywords=into+the+storm+katie+thornhill&qid=1693482456&sprefix=Into+the+Storm%2Caps%2C94&sr=8-1

In this episode I share vulnerably how the enemy has pursued my family, but also my own more recent struggles.  He doesn’t stop, when one attempt fails he will keep coming after you if there is something of value!

I can’t believe we’ve made it to 100 episodes!!    You do not want to miss this powerful story.   My new friend Chrisy Slate shares the devastating loss of her 17 year old son Caleb to suicide.  She shares openly with us and many others in the hopes of bringing awareness to teen suicide and to give hope to other parents who have lost children and don’t think they can survive it.  She shares with us who Caleb was, how she wrestled with God and still doesn’t know why this happened. But she is CHOOSING to trust God and find purpose by sharing their story and carrying on her son’s legacy of compassion for others through the Caleb Cares Project.     Visit and donate to foundation here:   www.ajourneyforcaleb.org   Contact me- [email protected] Community- https://bit.ly/Anchoredin Website- https://anchoredinalways.com/
