God Over Grind: Why Self-Help Isn't Enough (Especially for Christians)

About this episode

This episode of Wisdom Calling explores the transition period in Israel's history from a theocracy to a monarchy. Host Bobo dives into the book of 1 Samuel, highlighting key characters like Hannah and Samuel, then discussing anxiety and God’s presence.

What you'll learn:

  • Why the people desired a human king.
  • The story of Hannah's faith and prayer in the midst of hardship.
  • How social-emotional well-being can be connected to trusting in God.

Bobo challenges listeners to consider:

  • Whether they are experiencing God's presence in their lives.
  • The importance of seeking guidance if God feels distant.
  • The danger of relying solely on self-help strategies for emotional well-being.
