Feathers : Faith in Flight

Feathers is a podcast of stories about God speaking and His people having just enough faith to believe Him and obey. Each week the host Amy Bennett interviews a guest who shares their story of faith--perhaps a time God called them to something scary or they traveled a difficult road in which they had to trust God. The hope is the stories inspired you and encourage you to take flight in your own faith.

In this episode, I take a look back at our first 15 episodes and see what "flying lessons" we can gather about living a life of faith.

Six flying lessons:

  • Commit Your Ways to the Lord
  • Don't Get Discouraged if it Doesn't Make Sense
  • You'll Experience Fear, but We Can Overcome
  • You'll Only Get the Next Step, but You Have to Take It
  • Success Is Only Measured by Obedience
  • God is Faithful

Melanie Dorsey shares how she first began painting in 2013 on a whim to stage a piece of furniture that she had given a makeover. She listed the piece for sale and knew staging would push the sale. It did but also had several inquiries over her simple bird painting.  

Thus began her "career" in art!  She painted; she prayed. As she prayed and listened, the Lord began speaking here and there to her heart about something new He was leading her to and through.  

What few people know is that her son, Andrew, was (IS) the artist in her family. Many of the supplies I began with were from his stash. Often tears flowed as she picked up a marker, a can of paint, a colored pencil or a waterproof pen - they were little reminders of her son and hints of a new promise from God.
