Recognizing My Need for Jesus - A Story of An Unplanned Pregnancy:: Dawson Cooper:: [Episode 319]

Recognizing My Need for Jesus - A Story of An Unplanned Pregnancy:: Dawson Cooper:: [Episode 319]

Sin followed by subsequent shame and guilt can send us into some of the darkest places of loneliness, isolation, and weariness… places where the Lord never intended for us to be. After all, Jesus came to bring abundant life (John 10:10) and rest for our souls (Matthew 11:28-29).

Dawson Cooper, who spoke at our live gathering in Mountain Brook, Alabama, beautifully reminds us of these truths as she recounts her journey of walking through an unplanned pregnancy and subsequent marriage to becoming a parent and letting go of childhood dreams. In her story, Dawson sweetly shares the gospel message of redemption, as she encourages us to look to Jesus alone to fulfill our needs and see the moments of life where His Holy Spirit has shown up - reminding us His fingerprints are all over our stories.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- Admitting your weaknesses to others can be powerful in the hands of God.

- God never intended for you to carry shame and guilt - He longs for you to bring those heavy burdens to Him.

- Your past doesn't define you - you are righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.
