When Systems Come Crashing Down

Ian Campbell invited me to join him on his Insight Incorporated podcast, and the finished product dropped yesterday. It is called Love, Rest, and Play with God, but he also covered a wide range of topics and current events in my journey.

Here’s an excerpt from the podcast:

Our insecurities are like our fears; they will draw us into systems that promise to protect us in a false safety mechanism instead of finding our certainty in God. I don’t know what tomorrow holds. When people ask me what my plan is for this year, I don’t know yet. It’s going to be the same as this morning. I woke up to follow Jesus, and I’ll wake up tomorrow and follow him, and whether it’s through cancer or other difficulties going on, I’m going to live with God and trust that he has a way to navigate me through the things that happen.
So, I’m not a sitting duck for any system to be my God for me. The religious systems we created are very idolatrous in the sense that we teach people to put their trust in them, instead of finding our certainty in his love and care for us. No matter what happens, he will be big enough to guide me through it and hold me up in it. That’s what we need because the days are growing darker, and there’s no telling where the next ten years will lead us. Believers who have confidence in God will do just fine, but those who put their confidence in political or religious systems will be lost when those systems come crashing down.
This is a good time for us to find our security and certainty in him.
