God And Our Dogs with Meg Grier

God and Our Dogs - #430  - Krista McAnally

Making good decisions is one of life's biggest challenges — from major life choices to everyday ones. In this theme pack episode, Meg Grier sits down with two returning guests to explore how faith, wisdom, and our dogs can guide better decision-making. Pastor Gabe Wetmore shares how biblical wisdom calls us to be practical and reflective before making decisions, rather than waiting passively for divine instruction. Tommy Matthews reflects on the power of pausing at life's crossroads — like Greg Goss's dog Griffin — to seek direction before moving forward. Together, they challenge us to quiet the noise, listen to the Holy Spirit, and lean on God's guidance the way our dogs trust us.

6:09 — Introducing Tommy Matthews; Griffin the dog at the fork in the road

6:38 — Praying at every fork in the road; "pray without ceasing"

8:59 — Quieting the noise; sunrises and sunsets as spiritual end caps

God And Our Dogs - Decission Making  3-21-26

"God and Our Dogs" Bonus Treat with Lisa Fullerton - When Emotions Lie

Has your heart ever lied to you? In this bonus conversation, Lisa Fullerton (CEO of A Novel Idea, featured in Show #115) shares powerful insights about the command "STOP" and why we need God's truth as our plumb line when emotions threaten to lead us astray.

Lisa trained her Labrador retrievers and discovered profound parallels about obedience, boundaries, and truth. Just as her dog Bentley stops on command, we need to learn when to stop and listen to God's guidance—especially when our feelings are most intense.

Key Topics:

✓ Why the "STOP" command matters for dogs AND people

✓ How feelings can deceive us

✓ The difference between subjective truth vs. absolute truth

✓ Building a biblical worldview as your plumb line

✓ Why training matters in our relationship with God

✓ Walking the talk in Christian community

About the Show:

God and Our Dogs helps discover a new perspective to rely on God the way our dogs rely on us. Stories of time, training, and trust with our dogs demonstrate transformation in relationships and faith.
