Fires, Floods, and Freezes: Wrestling with Risk Management

Transcript

The genesis of this episode began with my utter exasperation shopping for new homeowners insurance after receiving a 100% increase in my premium over last year’s rate.  As I examined the root causes of the rate hike, I realized that I just might need to re-evaluate my entire risk management mindset.

The California wildfires in January, recent floods in Kentucky and Tennessee, and the Uri Winter Storm in Texas a few years ago have put this topic front of mind for many of us.

It begs the question, “What do you place your faith in?”

My guest for this Good Friday episode is Dr Michael Sprague who is the Chaplain for the Louisiana state legislature.  Michael also is an author and wrote a book after experiencing Hurricane Katrina and it full fury living in New Orleans as it struck.  The title of his book is: “Disaster: Betting the Farm on God in Life’s Storms”

We discuss the concept of brokenness vs the kingdom of me, the dangers of becoming too comfortable, and answering our calling, regardless of risks, by putting our faith in God and His plan for us.

We close with a strong message of encouragement for all of our listeners who may on their own road to Mount Moriah, as Abraham was with Jacob, remaining faithful and trusting that God will provide the ram in the thicket just in time for each of us!
