We all put our faith in something. But what happens when the things we turn to for fulfilment, comfort and hope still leave us searching for more?
In this episode of Liora Live, we’re having an honest conversation about the things we look to when life feels empty, when we’re searching for answers, and when what once brought us comfort no longer seems to be enough.
We live in a world that encourages us to look within ourselves for answers, to create our own reality and to believe that we have everything we need within us. From our achievements and independence to manifestation and New Age spirituality, there are so many places we can turn in the pursuit of peace, purpose and fulfilment. But what happens when the pressure to have everything figured out becomes exhausting? And what happens when the things we hoped would bring us peace leave us searching even deeper?
We also explore how grief and brokenness can shape our spiritual journeys. When we’re hurting, we naturally want something to hold on to - something that gives us comfort, reassurance or hope. But in our search for answers, how do we discern what we’re placing our trust in?
And where does Jesus fit into all of this?
We reflect on the incredible truth that God is not distant from our pain. Jesus wept. He experienced grief and entered into our humanity. He is Emmanuel, God with us - a God who understands our weakness and draws near to us in our brokenness.
Because there’s a difference between feeling weary and having no hope. As Christians, we can feel disappointed, exhausted and even frustrated with God, but we can return to the truth of who He is, even when our circumstances don’t make sense.
We also talk about the importance of knowing God for ourselves, discovering His character through the different seasons of our lives, and allowing our testimonies to become a way of sharing His love with others. The very experiences that once left us searching can become opportunities to encourage someone else and point them towards the hope we’ve found in Christ.
Sharing the Good News isn’t just about what we say. It’s about how we live, how we love and how we meet people where they are.
So, what are you putting your faith in? And what happens when the world isn’t enough?
