Lessons to Rise Above Any Storm का पूरा ट्रांसक्रिप्ट

that photograph came from. 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.240 But standing there holding somebody else's memory made the devastation personal. 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:02.639 Hurricanes don't just destroy buildings, they scatter pieces of people's lives. 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:08.720 I continued toward my house, and my neighbor Kenny saw me and said, Hey Ron, it's terrible. 00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:15.120 Well I walked up my driveway to the front door, and for some crazy reason I tried my key. 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.800 I don't know why there wasn't much left to unlock. 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:23.120 I finally kicked the door down, and mud was everywhere. 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:30.639 The refrigerator was upside down, the French doors were gone, and there was a water line about eight feet high inside our home. 00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:31.920 Eight feet. 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.519 We had lost practically everything. 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.199 And in that moment, friends, I cried. 00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:42.399 At that moment, I wasn't the radio guy. 00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:43.680 I wasn't the promoter. 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.959 I wasn't the guy who was supposed to have an answer. 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:52.800 I was just a man standing all alone in the wreckage of his home. 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:58.959 But right in the middle of the destruction, I saw something I will never forget. 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:02.879 On our kitchen table was a bowl of Cheerios. 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.240 And somehow it was dry. 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:10.480 The water had apparently lifted the table and put it back down. 00:06:10.720 --> 00:06:16.480 Now I'm not going to build a theology around a bowl of Cheerios, but I'll tell you what it did. 00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:17.920 It made me stop. 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:24.240 In the middle of complete chaos, sometimes there are little things that make you wonder. 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.600 So I gathered whatever clothes I could salvage. 00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:30.000 They were muddy and soaked. 00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:33.680 And I decided I had to go back to Mobile. 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:40.240 I needed to find a laundromat and get a prepaid phone because there was no communication on the coast. 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.560 I still hadn't talked to my wife in Meridian. 00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:44.720 It had been a few days. 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:46.800 So I went back to Mobile. 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.720 I bought a prepaid phone so I could finally call my wife. 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:52.720 And what a conversation that was. 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:54.879 Then I found a laundromat. 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:01.439 And there I sat watching my muddy clothes go around and around in that washing machine. 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:07.839 Everything in my life felt like it had been thrown into the same violent spin. 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.240 But I knew three things. 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:17.360 I was alive, my family was alive,

and Jesus was still Jesus. 00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:29.759 Sometimes faith looks like sitting in a laundromat with what you've salvaged in a basket and saying, Jesus, I don't know what happens next, but I'm still here. 00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:33.920 There was another kind of loss that is even harder to explain. 00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:38.399 Have you ever thought about how many memories are attached to places? 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:49.040 You know, weddings, graduations, birthdays, family reunions, restaurants where you celebrated, places where you laughed with friends, homes where children grew up. 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:54.160 Driving along the beach after Katrina was very difficult for me. 00:07:54.399 --> 00:08:01.120 I'd look for a familiar place connected to some beautiful memory, and it wasn't there. 00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:04.399 Sometimes there was nothing but a foundation. 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:12.079 The building was gone, the trees were gone, and sometimes the entire neighborhood was gone. 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:20.399 But if Katrina taught me something, it taught me that losing the place that's special to you doesn't mean you lose the memory. 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:24.480 A storm can take a building, it can't take the birthday you celebrated there. 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:29.439 It can't take the wedding, it can't take the laughter, it can't take the love. 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:34.320 Some things are stored somewhere no hurricane can reach. 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.519 Well, eventually I made it back to the radio station. 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.000 And here's something incredible. 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:46.080 The building, a little White House built in the 50s, had survived. 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:53.039 And after the most destructive hurricane to ever hit our area, we only lost one shingle. 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:53.919 One. 00:08:54.240 --> 00:09:01.679 Engineers from Tupelo were already on site working to get us broadcasting on generator power. 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.200 And suddenly that little Christian radio station became much more than a radio station. 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.759 It became a gathering place. 00:09:10.159 --> 00:09:12.000 People slept on the floors. 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:13.919 We cooked breakfast outside. 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.879 Supplies came in, teams went out. 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:22.799 People would tell us what they needed, and we would put that over the radio. 00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.559 And these wonderful Gulf Coast people responded. 00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.519 Our station's theme was the light of the Gulf Coast. 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.960 After Katrina, those words meant something completely different. 00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:42.960 Because when everything around you was dark, light matters. 00:09:43.279 --> 00:09:49.679 Then a man came in to my office and said something that changed the way I looked at my past. 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:57.039 He started talking about everything that I had done before becoming the manager of the radio station. 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:04.559 Promotions, events, organizing people, public relations, solving problems, getting things done. 00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:11.519 And basically he said, Ron, God has been training you for this time in your life. 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.320 Wow. 00:10:12.639 --> 00:10:14.559 I never thought about it that way. 00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:22.720 All those years of promoting, producing events, all the pressure, all the problems, all the times when something went wrong and I had to figure it out. 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.519 What if that wasn't just my past? 00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:28.799 What if it was preparation? 00:10:29.200 --> 00:10:31.200 I call it God's boot camp. 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:36.639 You may be looking at something in your past right now and thinking, what a waste. 00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:37.919 Maybe it wasn't. 00:10:38.080 --> 00:10:42.960 Maybe God will use something you learned 10 years ago for something you can't even see today. 00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:48.240 I have discovered that some lessons don't make sense while you are learning them. 00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:51.279 They make sense when you finally need them. 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:56.960 What looks like punishment today may become preparation for tomorrow. 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.919 So don't prejudge your circumstances. 00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:02.399 God can use all of it. 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:09.759 One day after Katrina, I went to my home church, Trinity United Methodist Church in Gulfport for a hot meal. 00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:11.840 And friends, there was a line out the door. 00:11:11.919 --> 00:11:18.799 And in that line were bank presidents, lawyers, teachers, construction workers, even a Mississippi Supreme Court judge. 00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.639 People with money, people without money, people with impressive titles. 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:24.320 Katrina didn't care. 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.039 Everybody needed the same thing. 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.399 A hot meal. 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:32.240 Hurricane Katrina was the great equalizer. 00:11:32.399 --> 00:11:39.600 We spend an awful lot of our lives worrying about things that don't matter nearly as much as we think they do. 00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:44.159 Titles, status, possessions, who's important, who has more. 00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.000 Then life happens. 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.200 And suddenly we remember we're all human. 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:50.559 We all need grace. 00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:52.240 We all need each other. 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.039 And every one of us needs Jesus. 00:11:55.200 --> 00:12:01.679 And then something beautiful started happening along the Gulf Coast and into New Orleans. 00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:05.519 People began arriving from all over America. 00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:14.080 Not an army carrying weapons, an army carrying food, water, tools, supplies, campers, and love.

00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.600 People told me. 00:12:15.840 --> 00:12:21.039 They were in their kitchen cooking or watching TV and they felt God nudging them. 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:23.279 Go help my children. 00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:26.799 And they came and they came and they came. 00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:31.360 One ministry brought camper after camper to the Gulf Coast. 00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:37.840 More than 20 were eventually given to ministers and families who needed somewhere to live. 00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.919 A couple from Kentucky brought a camper from my family. 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.679 They put it in our driveway and then they handed me the title. 00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:47.200 This is yours, Ron. 00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.279 Friends, I'll never forget that. 00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:59.440 The Bible tells us not to forget to show hospitality to strangers because some of us have entertained angels without knowing it. 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:08.720 Well, I don't know who all those people were who came to the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Katrina, but I'll tell you what I do believe. 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:12.639 I believe God sent us a host of angels. 00:13:12.799 --> 00:13:25.519 Some drove pickup trucks, some pulled campers, some carried cases of water, some cooked meals, some cleared debris, some prayed, some hugged people who had nothing left. 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:30.720 They didn't have wings that I could see, but they showed up. 00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:36.639 It was Jesus with work gloves on, Jesus behind the wheel of a truck. 00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.960 Jesus handing somebody a bottle of water. 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:49.840 Friends, God is so good that sometimes when you go through a storm, He sends people right into the middle of it with you. 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:57.600 And don't get so focused looking for a miracle that you miss the person God just sent to your door. 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:00.159 Here's something I want you to understand. 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.919 While all of this was happening, I was hurting too. 00:14:04.159 --> 00:14:07.360 My home was destroyed, my family was displaced. 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:12.240 I was rebuilding a radio station while trying to rebuild my own life. 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.240 But every day I went on the air, I had to give people hope. 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:17.519 I had to encourage them. 00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:19.840 I had to tell them we're going to get through this. 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:21.679 And you know something, my friend? 00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:25.679 A lot of those days, I was actually talking to myself. 00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.080 I needed to hear it too. 00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.399 That's another lesson Katrina taught me. 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:33.440 You can be hurting and still be useful. 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:38.080 You don't have to have everything figured out before God can use you. 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:43.519 You don't have to be completely healed before you can encourage somebody else. 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:50.000 Helping somebody through their storm gives you the strength to keep walking through yours. 00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:54.240 Now, during the aftermath, I said something on the radio that shocks some people. 00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:58.559 I said, I think one day we may thank God for Katrina. 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:04.080 Now listen carefully, I wasn't thanking God that people died or thanking God that homes were destroyed. 00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:06.159 And I wasn't thanking God for suffering. 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:19.600 What I meant was that there may be a day that we can look back and recognize what surviving that storm produced in us resilience, compassion, courage, perspective, faith. 00:15:19.919 --> 00:15:25.679 We discovered we could lose almost everything and still get up tomorrow morning. 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:31.279 We discovered possessions can disappear, but purpose doesn't have to. 00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:36.720 We discovered life can change overnight, but Jesus doesn't. 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.559 Twenty years later, I have the evidence. 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:46.960 Evidence that tells me, Ron, you have been through storms before. 00:15:47.279 --> 00:15:51.360 God was there then and he will be there again. 00:15:51.679 --> 00:16:00.080 That's why I asked you at the beginning of the show, what are you believing when everything around you looks destroyed or in shambles? 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:15.679 Because circumstances will talk to you, fear will talk to you, your bank account will talk to you, the doctor's report will talk to you, the empty chair will talk to you, the termination letter will talk to you, but those things don't get to decide what you believe. 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:21.360 Here's something from my signature series on belief that I want you to remember. 00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:30.960 I cannot see what God is doing is not the same thing as God is not doing anything. 00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.519 That's a biblical optimism. 00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:38.480 Biblical optimism doesn't pretend everything is wonderful. 00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:41.039 Realism says this is difficult. 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:43.919 Belief says, okay, what's my next step? 00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.879 What can I learn? 00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:46.080 Who can I talk to? 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:47.759 What haven't I tried? 00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:49.679 What is my next move? 00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.039 And most importantly, Jesus, what are you trying to show me? 00:16:55.279 --> 00:17:01.519 So, friends, don't let a temporary circumstance become a permanent belief. 00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:09.200 Don't let yesterday right tomorrow, and don't let fear make decisions that belong to faith. 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:17.519 Now let me fast forward 20 years, because there's another part of this story I couldn't have possibly known in 2005. 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:35.200 Remember that little White

House, my little safety net, my light of the Gulf Coast job, the radio station that survived Katrina, the place where we broadcast hope, where supplies were coordinated, where so much ministry happened. 00:17:35.440 --> 00:17:42.880 Well, in July of 2025, American Family Radio practically gave me that little White House. 00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:44.480 Think about that. 00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:46.720 Twenty years later. 00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:49.200 Today, those are my offices. 00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:52.079 I record my podcast and radio show there. 00:17:52.160 --> 00:17:55.440 It's also where I work on my Christmas City gift show. 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:09.519 Ministry, radio, podcasting, promotions, Christmas City, so many pieces of my life somehow came full circle right back to this beautiful little white house I'm in right now. 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:17.039 If you had told me while I was sitting in that mobile laundromat with all my muddy clothes, I wouldn't have believed you. 00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.880 If you had told me while I was standing in eight feet of flood damage, I couldn't have imagined it. 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.160 But that's the point. 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:25.759 Only God knew. 00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:33.200 That's why I don't want you to make a permanent judgment about your life based on what it looks like today. 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:35.839 You don't know what God knows. 00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:45.440 Sometimes you have to live long enough to look backward and finally understand what you could never see looking forward. 00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:48.880 So here's Ron's next step for this week. 00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.680 I want you to identify your Katrina. 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.839 What's the storm you're facing right now? 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:54.720 Name it. 00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:56.880 Don't pretend it doesn't exist. 00:18:57.440 --> 00:18:59.680 Then have a conversation with Jesus. 00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:01.680 No fancy prayer, just talk. 00:19:01.839 --> 00:19:05.039 Tell him you're angry, tell him you're scared, tell him you're confused. 00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:08.640 Tell him, Jesus, I don't know what to do. 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:10.799 Then ask him one question. 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.000 Jesus, what's my next step? 00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:17.359 Not how is this whole story going to end? 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.640 Just what's my next step? 00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:22.640 And when you see it, take it. 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.680 Because belief requires movement. 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:30.400 Believe, move, learn, adjust, and believe again. 00:19:30.640 --> 00:19:38.240 My friends, I'm going to take a short break, and when I return, I want to talk directly to the person who's standing in the middle of a storm right now. 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:49.279 Because when you're standing in the wreckage, the chaos, it's almost impossible to imagine that one day you may look back and see something you simply cannot see today. 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.599 If that's you, don't go anywhere. 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:53.039 I'll be right back. 00:19:53.279 --> 00:19:57.920 You're listening to Get the Hell Out of Your Life with your host, Ron Myers. 00:19:58.319 --> 00:20:01.839 Real stories, real struggles, and real hope. 00:20:04.000 --> 00:20:06.400 Here's a refreshing word just for you today. 00:20:06.559 --> 00:20:10.000 It comes from the book of Hebrews, chapter 13, verse 8. 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.839 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.160 Be refreshed today. 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:25.119 Hi, this is Candy Anderson Ferris, bringing you a message of hope. 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:30.559 One of my favorite verses that speaks to God's forgiveness is found in Romans. 00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:37.359 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:45.279 Because through Jesus Christ, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death. 00:20:45.519 --> 00:20:49.359 No matter what you've done, Jesus died for you. 00:20:49.680 --> 00:20:53.599 As his child, you and I are forgiven. 00:20:54.240 --> 00:21:05.119 There was a precious example, one of those battle preach moments that happened several years ago when my twin grandbabies were just little itsy bitsy things. 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:15.119 Bodhi had hit his sister Tegan, and she just stood him up, put his face in her hands, and said, Look at me. 00:21:16.160 --> 00:21:18.160 What did you do to me? 00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:23.119 She said again, what did you do to me? 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.000 And he said, I hit you. 00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:28.640 And she said, That's right. 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:31.759 Now are you sorry? 00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:35.279 And he said, Yes. 00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:47.279 And at that very moment, she took him in her arms, wrapped him up, and said, I forgive you. 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:53.119 While we were yet sinners, Christ Jesus died for us. 00:21:54.079 --> 00:21:59.680 His grace, his forgiveness, his mercy is unfailing. 00:22:00.559 --> 00:22:02.240 He knew we were sinners. 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:04.720 He knew we were depraved people. 00:22:04.880 --> 00:22:14.640 But yet he died for us and he takes us in his arms and he wraps us up in his precious grace. 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:27.920 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and he is just to forgive us of all our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.920 Remember today, you are forgiven. 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.839 How do you get the hell out of your life? 00:22:38.000 --> 00:22:40.559 Get on your knees and cry out to the Lord. 00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:42.160 He hears you right where you are. 00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:43.519 How to get the hell out of your life? 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.200 Well, yeah, replace it with Jesus. 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:50.400 We gotta be

born again, born of the Spirit, and that's by trusting Jesus Christ, turning from our sins and trusting Jesus. 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:51.920 How do you get the hell out of your life? 00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:52.720 Oh gosh. 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:53.599 Jesus. 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.240 Jesus. 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.519 Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. 00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:58.799 Welcome back, my friends. 00:22:59.039 --> 00:23:05.119 And before we go, I want to talk to the person who feels like life has just knocked the wind out of you. 00:23:05.359 --> 00:23:08.000 Maybe your Katrina isn't a hurricane. 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:15.839 Maybe it's a diagnosis, a divorce, a death, a termination, a financial disaster, a dream that didn't happen. 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:23.039 And right now, you're looking at the wreckage thinking, how can anything good possibly come from this? 00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:26.000 Now I don't know how your story will unfold. 00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:34.079 I can't promise when the circumstances will change, but I can tell you what my experiences have taught me. 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:39.200 Don't write the ending while you're still in the middle of the storm. 00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:41.759 Twenty years ago, I couldn't see today. 00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.039 I couldn't see that little white house becoming mine. 00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:52.160 I couldn't see myself sitting there years later recording a podcast and radio show that goes around the world. 00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.160 I couldn't see the full circle. 00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:55.279 But God could. 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.400 So don't prejudge the middle of your story, my friend. 00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:04.240 Right now, all you may see is mud, but God sees farther than you do. 00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.319 And here's where I've landed after all these years. 00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:14.000 When you have Jesus, you have everything you ultimately need. 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:19.359 You are accepted, you are forgiven, you are cleansed, you belong. 00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:23.519 He lives in you, he's with you twenty-four hours a day. 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:33.119 He's not going to divorce you, he's not going to kick you out of the family, he's not going to wake up tomorrow and decide he's finished with you. 00:24:33.519 --> 00:24:37.039 No, Jesus is your anchor, he's your rock. 00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.839 And when the storm comes, grab onto that rock. 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:45.440 Have those conversations with Jesus every day, especially when you wake up in the morning. 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:49.599 And before the world gets your attention, give Jesus yours. 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:55.920 And when you can't understand what he's doing, remind yourself, well, I can't see what God is doing. 00:24:56.160 --> 00:25:00.319 It's not the same thing though as God is not doing anything. 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:11.680 My friend, storms pass, lives get rebuilt, scars become stories, stories become testimonies, and testimonies give somebody else the courage to believe. 00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:16.319 If God brought them through it, he can bring me through it too. 00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.400 That's why I tell my story. 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:28.160 I will be back next week with another grace-filled episode of Get the Hell Out of Your Life available wherever you listen to podcasts. 00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:36.079 And remember this: you were created on purpose for a purpose by a God who loves you more than you can imagine. 00:25:36.319 --> 00:25:40.240 Now go live like you believe it. 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:45.200 And one final thought from a guy who has lived through a lady named Katrina. 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:52.720 The storm may change your life, but with Jesus, the storm doesn't get to write the ending. 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:07.359 Today's show was produced by Ron Myers Ministries, a listener-supported ministry. 00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:12.799 For a copy of today's broadcast, please visit our website, thepromoter.org. 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:20.480 And would you prayerfully consider making a tax-deductible donation so that we may continue to share stories of God's amazing grace with the world?
