How to Wrestle with God with Lisa Fields 

I already listened on Spotify but I literally got on here to see her outfit. Lol 😂

30 minutes of silence. Allow the Lord to search my heart. Then Bible reading and then prayer. I love that!

“So much of our Sin is just us coping with pain” 💯💯💯💯

“Purpose is not what you achieve, it’s who you become… becoming more like God”

Wow she just freed me with a one liner “peace is the assurance of God, not the absence of negative emotions” (paraphrasing). WOW! Needed that. 😭

“You have to get it out your mouth to get it out of your heart. Giving language to your innermost thoughts/feelings”

“You look like you got several accounts at Chase.” is hilarious 😂

"Getting to the root of their question and not the fruit of their question."📝

Sometimes it seems like we are afraid to be alone with our own thoughts.

The irony is that I have a PhD in biblical studies and I have studied and researched most related topics to the point when I have a good idea of the limits of what we can know. I am one of those who people come to see to get biblical answers. However, I have long realized that in the grand scheme of things I still know very little and compared to God, I know even less than a newborn before she opens her eyes for the first time (we should keep things in perspective even when we have fancy degrees). This is very comforting when I do not understand what some of the things God did or will do as shown in the Bible (and there is still a lot I know that I will never fully grasp on this side of heaven) or what God is doing in my life. No matter how painful it is, I know that the problem is not with God but with my limited understanding. Approaching things that way and reverently going to God for clarity brings me peace in the storm and keeps me from sinning against God as he works in me and through me. Once we realize that understanding everything is not a prerequisite and will never be a reality, the foundation of our relationship with God and the universe around us becomes our trust in God for who he is instead of our understanding of what is going on which is limited at best and often corrupted by sin and the flesh. The attitude of the heart is important when we approach this question and go to God. With humility and reverence comes understanding and if not peace that he who understands all has it all under control.

“The truth isn’t always emotionally satisfying to us” 👏🏽🙌🏽 reminds me of Psalm 13 how David asks the Lord how long? How long will the Lord forget him? But as you read the text you see that the Psalm doesn’t end with an answer to “how long” but magnifies WHO the Lord is. That He’s merciful, the He’s our salvation, that He deals bountifully with us! Praise God that He’s so consistent that Who He IS causes us to rejoice even through those times of suffering!

My only problem with this episode was I wanted more! She was an excellent guest!!! Loved this episode! Saved it to listen again. ❤

"You gotta get it out of your mouth to get it out of your heart." That part!

Purpose is not what you achieve, it's who you become. That was a hit. Blessed.🔥

This podcast is really helping me innerstand how to build a relationship with Christ . I did the sage and crystal thing . But I truly feel free building a relationship with Christ

*I'm glad you made this video,* it reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to good home, $89k biweekly and a good daughter full of love..

15:21 TALK ABOUT IT YELLOW!! Jackie stop 😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂😂 yall did not have to fire her up like that 🔥 love how yall always lead with laughter ❤

“So much of our sin is just us coping with pain.” Lordy.

"Look beyond the aggression and see the pain." Such a wonderful insight. Thank you all for sharing.

What a way to frame truth versus a lie...emotionally satisfying answers keep us bound.

The truth isn’t always satisfying, but it will set you free. Thank you, for this podcast.

I have said those exact words, written those words, screamed those words to the heavens..."God, You don't care about me, You're just using me"! Boy that hit home and I am so blessed to say that I'm on the other side of that feeling. Such a hard truth that emotionally satisfying answers are not always truth. Truth was He was using me to minister to others but He was also using others to minister to me. He was holding me up while I was trying to pull others up. I love Him for that. I pray this book reaches all who need to hear it.❤

Once people understand that God, is still going to love you, walk with you through the sin (sanctification).... you'll stop being frustrated. No you can't continue to do what you want..... but for the ones that are struggling and we know we want to stop and change....God got you and he will use us even in it.

i never comment, but i’m watching this at a time where i can’t even articulate why i’m wrestling with God - thank you for helping young adults like me have language to communicate with God so that we may remain on this narrow way. truly.

I started listening to Lisa’s audiobook because of this podcast.. sold!

It is important to distinguish between what is normal and what is right/biblical. Normal just means common to human experience (for example sin and unbelief are normal). In that framework, resentment and anger toward God are normal but they are not necessarily right. If someone ever had “grounds” for resentment and anger toward God, it was Job. After losing his wealth, his children, and his health. The Bible states “In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong” (Job 1:22 and again 2:9b). We cross the line when, amid our pain, we accuse God of doing what is wrong thus placing ourselves as God’s judge. This is not to say that we should not be open with and share with him our feelings, and expectations versus reality, and the fact that we absolutely do not like and enjoy what is going on but… like Job, in all of that, we should not forget our place and who we are talking to. Pain does not give us a pass to disrespect the Most High and sin with our lips. Like Job humility and surrender lead to healing and restoration.

Thank you to The Perrys for having thought-provoking and Holy Spirit led conersationists on the show!! Keep up the great work!! Love ya'll and praying for your continued success.

I took this Professor's New Testament class at UNC-Chapel Hill (who wrote her textbook) and as a PK, this did indeed kind of rock my world. He gave us an option at the end of the semester to either do an assignment or attend a class to only hear his story to becoming (at that time) Agnostic. It was essentially deduced to world hunger and his inability to reconcile its existence.

This lady was great! Very transparent and broke everything down so simple! We need this, Love it! I thank God for her 🙏🏾💯

I am so glad to hear that other people are going through this. I thought maybe I wasn't saved. I totally understand people leaving the faith as they wrestle with God. If you don't know it's normal and common your natural feeling is to leave the faith. God is so amazing to know our hearts and still love us and restore us.

Omg! I LOVE Lisa Fields. Y’all can support her by following the Jude 3 Project on RU-vid ❤

Why is this exactly the season God is bringing me through. Telling me to be quiet. Come on God!!

This has beyond blessed me!! And I don’t ever comment on videos or anything, but I truly felt led to just say this is one of my favorites ❤🙏🏾🙏🏾😭

OMG!! I legitimately had a moment this morning where I just broke down with so many questions for God… questions I would have been so afraid to ask growing up out of fear of being struck by lightning. I am 40 years old and just getting to a place where I feel comfortable “questioning” God. I grew up in church and have been churched my whole life and have definitely found myself wanting to leave the faith multiple times for many reasons, I have felt a breech in trust with God and because some things just have not made sense. He’s guided me to this for a reason. I still have so many questions but so glad to know I’m not alone. One thing I will say is God literally used my 5yr old to save my soul and, no matter the lingering questions, I’m being pulled towards Him rather than away… and for now I’m going rest and move forward in that fact. Thank you, Lisa, for your openness about this topic.❤

I absolutely KNEEEWWWWW Jackie was gonna say, the Clarke Sisters' "You Brought the Sunshine"!!!! I already KNEW when I saw that bright yellow 😂😂😂 Shout out to HU & my fellow HBCU folk! 🤎🥰

“So much our sin is us coping with pain “ this is it !!! And how one copes is indicative of how we sin . Ohhhh this is freedom

Jude 3 helped me grow Big time

I just listened to the podcast earlier today. It was fire and a much needed today, more than you know. Thanks y’all!

Praying in tongues, singing praise music and the Holyspirit helps to alleviate the angst

As soon as Jackie said her outfit remind her of a song. I knew the song before she said it 😂😂😂 and I don’t know all the lyrics either. I mumble the exact same part LOL

WOW!!! Where have you alll been hiding this sister. She is Soo. I don’t even have the words. But what a Powerful Benefit for The Body of Christ!!❤

I have been feeling the same way. What a timely word

Jackie, you look beautiful! Skin is GLOWING.

I listen to your podcasts, love them. I especially loved the one with Priscilla Shrier. But this one here, I go through this very thing.

This conversation was SOOO GOOD!! 😮‍💨🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This is such a good conversation! I’ve been looking for more supplemental reading to recommend for couples and families in my work. Knowing that some of our issues with God, the church, or any other relationship stem from our desire to only have emotionally satisfying answers. Peace and patience are two examples of fruit that God frequently sent me on an assignment to gain. He didn’t just give it to me.

“The Truth Will Set You Free”

Jackie l so love your message HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, I listened to this message 4 times in a row, I thank GOD first for that message, and also I thank you for that message, powerful, powerful, mighty, and beautiful.l just couldn't get enough,l cried a lot, what a strong message,l loved it.GOD BLESS you and your family Jackie.

Such a good episode. Clear, honest, thought provoking truth!

I've experienced so much pain in my life that I've got to do something grand to make it make sense. MY GOD!!

Thank you for your ministry, Lisa!

This is one of the best episodes I’ve ever seen from you guys. The amount of though provoking lines I got from this will require a few rewatches from me, for sure! Thank you!❤❤

I am in that same vein of conversation. This is one I’m looking forward to seeing

Wow 17:02 !!! Needed to hear this conversation 😭😭

This is so timely

I learn so much from y’all bout God’s plan for us. Lisa, you are so on point, THANK YOU!!!

THIS EPISODE IS AMAZING!! 🔥🔥🔥 I’m sure so many people can relate to the realness of this conversation!

Excellent episode!

This was such a great and informative episode. Thanks for this conversation!

not Lisa Fields being a fellow Liberty alum... that just made me so happy as a fellow alum & someone who admires & is inspired/energized by her work! ahhh, kk lemme get back to the rest of this episode, so good 🤭🔥

Soooo good! We need our good sis at Acts 242!! 💛💛

Brilliant guest. Thank you “Yellow” 💛

This is one of the best podcasts you’ve done. It was so deep that I keep rewatching parts. Thankyou

The roast in the beginning was hilarious but the jewels dropped in this episode was even better! I'm so thankful to have stumbled across Jude 3 project some years ago. I had "my" Life Groups class go through their apologetics book last year. I learned so much

Grateful for this episode! Giving words to some of my silent struggles and wrestlings with God! Nice to know I’m not alone in this 🙌🏾

Phew! This is sooo good!❤️

this video WAS TOO SHORT I NEED MORE

This was so good!!

i’m not gonna let go of the fact that jackie said stevie wonder but started singing the clark sisters 😭😭

Great conversation 💎

Loved this!

I haveeeeee to get this book this was so fire! I had no idea who this woman was before this podcast and bruhhhhh in 45 mins she convinced me

“A lot of times we are chasing ambiguity” - whewww

Jackie is glowing today☀️

Thank you so much . I will buy the book. Thank you again

I just love you guys and your hearts for the Lord✨🤍✨thank you for doing these podcasts and may the Lord continue to bless your work and your home and your guests 🙏🏽

Been following Jude 3 for a minute. Thank you for bringing Lisa on the show.

I am catching a live!!! I'm so excited 🎉

Salvation and God's truth are precious...looking forward to you bringing on the SDAs

Another ❤ beautiful interview! Another perspective on how we need to move when your life is following the Lord

"....our Goal line for GOD is emotionally satisfying answers"...... Jeeezz 🗣 " Come ON yellow " 💛

That was so good, Lisa you are doing the Lord's work. May the Lord continue to bless all of your endeavors. Thank you for this, it truly blessed me.

I was blessed by this and I love that she dresses professionally. I also will say I've struggled with the goodness of God when it comes to the life of Judas I'm still wrestling tbh and so I'm glad that I'm not the only one who found the emotional more wearisome than the logical

Peace with GOD, Peace with People,

Thank You God for this message.

Such a fantastic episode! I truly enjoyed it and picked up some valuable insights along the way. Thank you! ❤❤

This thing she said about the truth being unemotional. 🤯 When we are looking for Gods answers and they are quiet but undeniably true. My goodness! This was a good episode, “yellow” (Ms.fields) got some heat

This was amazing, I needed it to be longer. So good.

This was dope man.

Thank you for this episode.

Excellent interview

Beautiful and powerful testimony and lesson!

This was a very enlightening interview. Thank you all for teaching and speaking to the glory of God as you discover your own paths. May God continue to bless you more according to His perfect will in Jesus' name.

Wow!!!! Impeccable!

Thank for this word Lisa Jackie and Preston ❤

That intro was cold, y'all. Lisa is a serious woman and needs y'all to get on board. 💅🏾

Few minutes in and all I can say is I needed this 🙌🏽

Peace is the assurance of the presence of God ❤❤❤

GOAL POST: EMOTIONALLY SATISFIED ANSWERS ARE MORE SOOTHING BUT THEY ARENT TRUTH. EMOTIONAL ANSWERS KEEP US BOUND TO DECEPTION... SHE SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT😂 BUT LOOK HERE SHE SAID THAT... I LIVED IT, BUT SHE SUMMED IT UP! NOW I UNDERSTAND HOW THE PERRYS ARE SO REFINED BECAUSE YALL CIRCLE IS A CIRLCE OF 🔥
