Description

<p>When you're out of answers and can't hang on, Chip reminds you: God is with you in your darkest circumstances, offering a resource to help.</p><p>The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.”</p><p>Three “what” questions survivors ask:</p><p>1. What can I control when my world falls apart?</p><p>2. What must I do to make it through today?</p><p>3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?</p><p>The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.</p><p> I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.</p><p>II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8</p><ul><li>God’s offer = supernatural WISDOM</li><li>Our responsibility = to ASK</li><li>God’s attitude when we come = OPEN &amp; GENEROUS</li></ul><p>III. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”</p><p>Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck</p><p>1. Admit you’re stuck</p><p>2. Admit you can’t do it on your own</p><p>3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom</p><p>4. Be willing to do whatever God’s wisdom demands of you</p><p><strong>Broadcast Resource</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/topics/personal-growth/the-art-of-survival/?source=WEBPODDON&amp;referral=PODCAST">Series Resources</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/broadcasts/message-notes/page/8/?series=2474%253Fsource%253DWEBPODDON&amp;referral=PODCAST">Message Notes</a></li></ul><p><strong>Year End Match</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/special/yem2025/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;segment=podcast-listener&amp;utm_campaign=yem_120125&amp;utm_content=aos+podcast&amp;source=25YEMPOD&amp;referral=PODCAST">Double Your Gift Today</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/about/2025-annual-ministry-report/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;segment=podcast-listener&amp;utm_campaign=yem_120125&amp;utm_content=aos+podcast&amp;source=25YEMPOD&amp;referral=PODCAST">Ministry Report</a></li></ul><p><strong>Additional Resources</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://livingontheedge.org/format/great-gifts/?utm_source=podcast&amp;utm_medium=shownotes&amp;segment=podcast-listener&amp;utm_campaign=great-gifts-xmas&amp;utm_content=aos+podcast&amp;source=25YEMPOD&amp;referral=PODCAST">Christmas Gifts</a></li></ul><p><strong>Connect</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="tel:8883336003">888-333-6003</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/">Website</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/chip-ingram-app">Chip Ingram App</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.instagram.com/livingontheedgewithchipingram">Instagram</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://www.facebook.com/LOTEcommunity">Facebook</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://twitter.com/lotecommunity">Twitter</a></li></ul><p><strong>Partner With Us</strong></p><ul><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="https://livingontheedge.org/donate/?source=WEBPODDON&amp;referral=PODCAST">Donate Online</a></li><li><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link" href="tel:8883336003">888-333-6003</a></li></ul>
