Even If Podcast
You want to believe God is good, faithful and just but have lived enough life to know that it isn't always that simple or easy. It's alright - pull up a chair and sit a spell. You're in good company.
Host Kristi Lowe knows our stories are probably different, but if you’ve been hurt or broken, mad at God or ready to give up - we probably have more in common than you think. Kristi talks candidly the challenges of living out the Christian faith - everything from family dynamics, church hurt, gossip and addiction to politics, prostitution, mental health, suicide, pornography, addiction or ANYTHING in between - nothing is off limits. Because one thing is for sure - God is big enough to handle our toughest questions, she's seen that first hand.
Each Tuesday on the Even If podcast, you'll hear stories of faith, and honest conversation about the challenges of trusting God in the hard times. Each episode shows us just a little bit more of Jesus - the ultimate beacon of hope in this dark world - Even If we can't see or understand it all.

Control Freak, Pt 2: Out of Control
Fear and anxiety can latch onto our minds and squeeze the life out of us. Our worries are not easy to ignore, especially when staring right at unavoidable circumstances. There comes a moment where you realize you have no control over a situation, and you have to find a jewel in the mud. Join me as I chat about dealing with the burden of fear and anxiety as we try to find bravery.
God is showing up BIG TIME in this series. God’s really showing me how I thought I was a recovering Control Freak and it turns out I’m just an “in denial” Control Freak.
After wrestling with my own understanding, I decided to do this series about releasing control and trusting God. This episode is Control Freak Part 2, Out of Control. My prayer is that this series allows us to loosen our grip and have softer hands that open towards God’s will, protection, and love.
You’ll Learn:
- [01:41] We often try to exert control over situations, even the smallest amount we can grasp.
- [06:06] Kristi talks about her dad visiting her family, and noticing he wasn’t quite feeling well.
- [11:00] Feeling like a situation is out of your control is just the realization that you never had control in the first place.
- [16:28] Instead of letting fear overtake you, choose to be brave. Being brave doesn’t mean you don’t have fear.
- [20:26] Bring your fears to the Lord. Trust that you’re in good hands.
