Saints, have you ever felt like God was not with you? Have you ever thought that God could not possibly get you out of this mess? What about, praying for blessings but all you see are more problems showing up than there are blessings … where is God in all this?

Sometimes Saints the problem/ issue/ pain/ heart ache/ disappointment can be so devastating, so overbearing until you can’t see that is God blessing.

That’s why I’ve brought a guest on the podcast today to help us out. She’s been in a place where the problem seemed bigger than God, and yet, she realized that it was all smokescreens trying to get her to give up. She will get to meet Dr. Tyra Hodge after the intro… so let’s get started.

Introduction

Welcome to Hanging Out With Jesus Podcast. The podcast that teaches you how to spend time with God in order to declutter your self-talk, intentionally.

Hey, thanks for listening and welcome, I’m Lyvita, author, Bible Teacher, and speaker. On a mission with the purpose to help the saints break free from the things that distract us from doing what God’s designed us to do.  And one of those things is allowing our problems to override our trust in God.

This is Episode 102. I pray this episode awakens your senses to the truth of who you are and who you belong to so you can let go of the lies and embrace doing what you are called to do. Now on to the discussion …

Questions asked of Dr. Tyra Hodge:

1. 2:30 – Dr. Hodge you have a most interesting story to tell but I want to begin with where you are now. So can you tell us what you are doing now, including sharing about the non-profit you started called “Parenting Connections”?
2. 12:05 – As an author you have written several books on which one is called “A Wounded Daughter’s Dairy” and another is called “Out of the Ashes”. Can you tell us a little about each book?
3. 22:35 – Has there ever been a time in your life where problems seem to be bigger than your faith?
4. 15:30 – What spiritual practices or disciplines do you do regularly to spen time with the Lord that help you stay motivated to do what God wants you to do while taking care of yourself?
5. 27:42 – So, during this time what was your mindset like, were you anxious or depressed?

Dr. Hodge and Lyvita prays.
