Today is Part 2 of my conversation with Lori Ann Wood. If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, you'll want to go back and listen to that first. In this episode, we discuss finding a balance between maintaining control and trusting in God's wisdom, and how all of our stories have a purpose. We also explore how staying connected to God through our questions can deepen our faith, especially when faced with life's unexpected turns.

Watch this episode on YouTube.

We Discuss:
• Navigating life's unexpected turns
• Trusting God when you'd rather be in control
• Why you need to keep asking questions
•A shift in perspective about the detour you're experiencing
