Why do we struggle with emotions and feelings? There is a deep rooted piece of who we are that seems to be socially unacceptable to talk about. Yet if we are to be wholistic followers of Christ, how are we to honestly love God if we haven’t learned to express the hurts and pains deep within us. It’s through the raw emotion and feeling that we authentically learn to love God with our Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength. So while it’s popular social etiquette to mask our feelings and cover up our emotions, The Blessed Soul strives to address these hidden thoughts and feelings. Through the Blessed Soul, we will face unspoken emotions head on. Not only will we create a space that approves conversations about these things as acceptable, but also take the moment to be real about hurts and pains. Inside of this authenticity, we will read scripture that echos our sentiment. And once we have fully understood and addressed these moments, we will speak blessing over the pieces of us that are often hidden and unpopular to talk about. The Blessed Soul is a daily podcast airing Monday through Friday each week. These episode range from 5-10 minutes. These Podcast are a product of calibratedvalues.com.

Why didn’t he go right then and there?
That’s all I could think after reading John 11:6 which says, “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, and then he said to his disciples, “let us go back to Judea.”
Let me get this straight John, you are telling me that Jesus loved Lazarus so much, that when he heard he was sick, it impacted him so much that he stayed where he was for two more days. That doesn’t make any sense!
Have you ever felt like you were looking for answers from Jesus and instead you got the opposite of an answer. You were hoping he would resolve something but instead you just had more questions. This is one of those moments! If Jesus was so concerned, if he really loved Lazarus so much, why wait? Why not hurry off to him?
What we read next might seem calloused of Jesus.
Listen to verses 11-14
After he had said this, he went on to tell them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up.”
His disciples replied, “Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better.” Jesus had been speaking of his death, but his disciples thought he meant natural sleep.
So then he told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
