At times, our chaotic world reveals hints of the utter brokenness in which we live. As people of faith in a powerful God, we want to lift our faces to heaven to cry out or bury our faces in our hands to whisper prayers. Either way, we utter things like “God, please help” and “God, what are you doing?” and “God, those people are terrible!”
And we aren’t alone in those words we lift to heaven.
Taylor Turkington is joining us today to talk about her book Trembling Faith (B&H books). We chat about the timeless story of Habakkuk and look at the situation of our own hearts and world. Tune in to learn that the only way not just to survive but find lasting hope is through gritty, trembling, wrestling faith in the God who works in our chaotic world.
