Do you have those moments when someone reminds you about something that happened in your life...and you hardly believe you're the one that went through it?
​
A similar situation happened for me as a friend was describing a particularly painful season that she's going through.

I suddenly had a flashback to my own years of dealing with the same trial - except I could barely remember the pain and struggle.
​
I call this effect "holy amnesia".

However, that doesn't mean we shouldn't remember enough of our struggles to help some else.

That's the place I find myself in as we hit the milestone of producing our 400th God and Gigs episode this week. ​

I'm extraordinarily grateful that God has given grace for us to have listeners like you who made every recording and interview worth the work.

However, it's also a moment that should be more than just a pat on the proverbial back.

I remember just a few months after launching The God and Gigs Show, I did something that almost ended the podcast before it really got started.

In the midst of learning the technology behind podcasting, I did something technical - I still don't know what - that essentially broke the podcast feed. Maybe it was the company I was working with...or human error... but either way, my podcast was off-line.

One month, then two, then three - it was agonizing. And nothing was working to restore it.

I honestly don't remember how I kept going. I just know that at some point, things were restored and I went on to have one of the best seasons ever during COVID ( I know, crazy how a pandemic was a gift to podcasters).

I tell the story and the lessons learned in this week's episode - but here's why it matters to you...

....I know there's probably an obstacle that you've overcome...and you may not be giving yourself credit for it.

Yes, God got you through it - but you supplied the faith and tenacity to maintain your efforts through the struggle.

Celebrate that. Remember how God did it once, and how He can do it again.

That's what I hope our 400th episode encourages you to do.
