Episode 333: Things the Bible DOESN'T Say, Part Five--More Than You Can Handle

In times of stress and hardship, church folk are often heard to recite like a matnra, "God doesn't give us any more than we can handle." And as well-known a religious cliche as that may be, is that actually what the Bible says?  In this week's episode of Crazy Faith Talk, we'll explore this idea, the original context of the verse from Corinthians that often gets (mis)remembered, and how we face those times when we really DO feel overwhelmed and in need of help beyond our own strength.  Pastors Erica, Sarah, and Steve continue this summer series of things that people assume are in the Bible this week, looking at what we often assume about the troubles of life, and whether it's even accurate to say that God "gives" them to us in the first place.  With a conversation that ranges from deep theology to the pop culture of American Gods and Ernest Hemingway, we invite you to listen in and think out where our hope is when we feel overwhelemd by life.
