Today on COMPASS in the Storm, Lana shares on the value of "Seasonal Friendships.”

In reality, most friendships are not forever and can change even as the seasons in our life change.

However, even seasonal friendship can be valuable in helping us achieve the destiny God has for our lives. Lana delves into the meaning of true friendship and how friends can shape the destiny God has for us.

My guest today, Darlene Larson, spent a over a quarter of a century living in an environment where her thoughts, words, and desires were ignored, negated, and stepped on day after day. Emotionally starved, she felt as if her heart had been slaughtered.

This episode, our show host, Lana Bach, shares her story of God’s healing in her failing body in 2017.

In her deepest despair, questioning why God would allow this to happen to people who love and serve Him, she felt Him say, “Lana, why do you serve a God who you don’t trust? Either, I am God and you can trust me, or I’m not!”

Lana shares the lessons she learned through her illness including how God wants to meet us in our pain, transform it into purpose, and walks alongside us every step of the way.

You MAY NEVER KNOW THE REASONS why He allows you to go through difficulties in life…

…BUT HE WANTS TO BRING PURPOSE THROUGH YOUR PAIN.

My beloved husband and best friend of 30 years was dying! I deeply questioned God. Why did God take him and leave me?

But God never lost faith in me. He brought me through my loss with even greater purpose than I ever imagined. And I know He wants to do the same for you.

For a message of encouragement, join me on my new upcoming “Compass in the Storm” podcast where we’ll explore how individuals found guidance and strength during the most challenging seasons of their lives, through the compass of God’s Word.
