"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.
