Where did you see God?
This is not a podcast. Well, it is, but only as a by-product. It's actually an authentic, accessible space to process -- God, life, purpose -- that then reaches your ears. This Spirit-led space allows guests (and you) to learn the power of honest processing. Whether stories, hard questions, or organic conversations, we process how we can see God in the midst, and how we can learn to see Him more fully daily. www.wheredidyouseeGod.com Have a story?

In episode 203, Mary K Thompson challenges us to not be restricted by unknown trauma so we can discover the supernatural power of comfort. For a long time, her trauma was not only unknown to others, but to her, yet God knew, and began to comfort her in such a way that she now comforts with the comfort she's received. In fact, you may be comforted, even as her past trauma remains unknown to you, and yours to her!

In the midst of your struggle, He may want to do a work in...
