#27 - Finding Peace in Chaos: A Conversation with Jessi

Morning Coffee and Bible

Have you ever felt like the world around you is spinning out of control? Like no matter how hard you try, you just can't find that elusive peace everyone talks about? Picture this: you're in a tiny boat in the middle of a raging storm. The wind is howling, the waves are crashing over the sides, and everything inside you is screaming to panic. But then you see him—Jesus—calmly sleeping, untouched by the chaos. How could he possibly sleep at a time like this? What does he know that we don't?

Today, we're going to dive deep into the secret of that peace—the kind of peace that doesn't make sense in the middle of life's storms. The kind that defies logic and turns fear into faith. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, overwhelmed by the demands of life, or simply searching for that calm in the chaos, this episode is for you. And we're not just talking about any peace, but the peace that Jesus himself promised us. A peace that's powerful enough to calm the storm, both around you and within you. So, if you're ready to discover that peace, let's go!

As we dive into this, you'll hear a raw and honest conversation about the struggles we face and the peace we can find in Jesus. We explore how our faith can overcome the world, despite the chaos we might be experiencing. I share my personal battles with anxiety and depression, and how my wife, Jessi, has been my rock through it all. We talk about the importance of having someone to share your burdens with and how vital it is to have a support system grounded in faith.

We'll also reflect on the story of Jesus calming the storm, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark. This powerful account reminds us that even in our most turbulent times, Jesus is with us, offering a peace that surpasses all understanding. We'll read through key Bible verses that highlight the peace of God and how it can transform our lives.

So join us as we hold on and enjoy the ride, finding peace in the midst of life's ups and downs. This is our time to discover the calm in the chaos, to strengthen our faith, and to experience the peace that only Jesus can provide. Stay blessed, and keep shining!
