Ep 28 - How the heck do I love and pray for my enemies?
Coffee With The Penners
Join us for an honest conversation on what it looks like to actually pray for your enemies. Why does Jesus tell us to do this? How do I even start? What if I don't want to?!

info_outlineIt took 5.5 years for the diagnosis of Julia's youngest daughter to come in, and when they finally received the name of what it was... they were left with more questions than answers. Join The Penners as they discuss the seasons of waiting, how the global pandemic affected their daughter in good and bad ways and maybe most exciting, tune in to hear about the miracles they've wittnessed through the life of their 6 year old. Only GOD can do these things!
Questions for you community:
1) Do you know someone with a Disability? How did you meet them?
2) Have you ever had to wait for a diagnosis, what was that like? How did you feel once you got the diagnosis?
3) Are you in a season of waiting? What if you don't get the answer you're hoping for? Is the foundation of your faith firm, regardless of the answer?
Questions for your kids:
1) Do you know what disability means?
2) Do you know someone who has a disability? Maybe someone who is blind, someone in a wheelchair or someone who needs extra help learning at school? Talk about the similarities they have with that kid, not only the differences.
3) Do you know what a Miracle is? They didn't only happen in the Bible, they happen today! Tell your child about one of the miracles from this episode and talk about how cool God is!
