Episode 72 - Wrestling with God - Part 1 - with Jennifer Putnam

The Journey Expressed

In this episode Jenn and Mel welcome special guest and friend, Jennifer Putnam.
Here, Jennifer vulnerably shares about her life's journey of discovering identity and purpose in God. Jennifer's life is a beautiful example of wrestling and surrender.
Jennifer shares about a time when she struggled with negative thoughts over herself where she asked the Lord the question: "Who am I?"
And He answered with a specific statement: “I made you to be a blessing”
She encourages listeners to ask the same question - listening for God's response which can become our life's "anchor word".
Jennifer shares about her passions: A desire for the people of God to be the people of God…to look like Christ:
“I long for people to grow in the inner strength out of which the ability to be truly gentle with each other comes”
She identifies with Jacob and the wrestling with the Lord that works out the inner longings of our hearts and who we are. She shares about different times she has "wrestled" with God and the breakthroughs that she has experienced.
