When unexpected events change the trajectory of our lives, we have a choice to make:
Do we overcome the unexpected, as the world recommends, or undergo it?
In this episode, Jillian Benfield talks about her experience finding out she was going to have a child with disabilities and her new book - The Gift of the Unexpected - Discovering Who We Were Meant to Be When Life Goes Off Plan.
She will help us break down the following:
- False beliefs we’ve built around God and our identity.
- How we cannot avoid our pain, but how we can learn to feel it in a way that is healing.
- Discover how our internal transformation leads to external purpose when we undergo the unexpected.
God uses the unexpected to disorient us from a culture that values the prosperity gospel (control) and the American dream (achievement).
Through His surprising gifts, believers learn how to relate to others' pain and realize how valuable and significant they are.
Jillian wants you to know that - “No matter what you’re going through, you’re invited to open this gift: The Gift of the Unexpected!”
Whether you are listening for the first time or you've been a listener for a while, you may or may not know that on June 20th, 2023, I paused the
podcast. Since then, we lost our daughter.
I recently released a new episode discussing how I processed our year of firsts by creating Grief Conversation Cards. You can learn more in episode 236 and at cherifletcher.com. Thank you, Cheri
