Little Strength, Big God: Lessons from Debbie W. Wilson | God-Sized Stories
09/18/23 • 43 min
Welcome to another exciting episode of God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook!
In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Debbie W. Wilson, joining us to talk about her new book, Little Strength, Big God.
Debbie shares her incredible journey of faith and discovering a God greater than her Goliaths.
She opens up about her tendency to obsess over problems and her never-ending to-do list, often feeling the weight of having to fix and do everything. But she reminds us all of an important truth – God does not expect us to carry the burdens alone.
Drawing from Jesus's teachings, Debbie emphasizes the importance of maintaining perspective in our relationship with God. When we find ourselves emotionally uptight and not enjoying our fellowship with Him, we have lost sight of God's size.
One powerful concept that Debbie shares is the idea of being yoked to Jesus. As we work alongside Him, He carries the heavier burden, granting us rest in our souls. With this perspective, it is clear that our job is to simply trust and work with God rather than relying solely on our own strength and abilities.
Patricia also reflects on her writing career and the challenges she faced as English being her second language. Feeling inadequate and unworthy, she witnessed God do incredible things despite her weaknesses. She encourages us all that even with little strength, we serve a mighty God.
In this interview, Debbie shares her insights on topics such as the fear of God, overcoming injustice and ill treatment, and the power of obedience in cultivating a strong and vibrant faith.
Join us on this captivating journey as we discover together how to embrace the God-sized stories in our own lives. Stay tuned to God-sized Stories with Patricia Holbrook, where we uncover inspiring tales of God's grace, strength, and mercy.
