At two years old and afraid of her shadow, yellow lab Khaki came to live with us.
She didn’t like men, especially in ballcaps. My husband Jim started taking reluctant Khaki to his shop. At first, he bribed her with treats but soon she followed him willingly. Then Khaki, the shop dog, led the way! She adored Jim and his visitors, even men in ballcaps. Time with Jim changed her heart! Khaki overcame her fear, spent time with Jim, trusted him, confident in his love.


Jeremiah 17:7 and 8 say, we are blessed if we trust in the Lord and have confidence in Him.

I PAWNDER. Do we spend enough time in God’s “shop” to develop trust and
confidence in His love for us so we overcome our fears?

God And Our Dogs with Meg Grier

Thoughts To PAWnder with Meg Grier - Khaki And Ballcaps

In this pondering episode of God and Our Dogs, host Meg Greer welcomes Robin Lowman to reflect on Amy House's story about two very different dogs - Cooper, who's content knowing his owners are nearby, and Siri, who needs to be physically close at all times.

Robin shares beautiful insights about how both approaches mirror our relationship with God - sometimes we rest confidently in His presence, and sometimes we need to press in closer during difficult seasons. The conversation explores:

✨ How we know God is near even without physical presence

✨ The importance of seeking God with our whole heart

✨ Why our relationship with God should grow and deepen over time

✨ Finding shelter and comfort in God during life's storms

✨ Walking through every season of life with Jesus

Robin's touching story about her 19-year-old dog Bailey beautifully illustrates God's promise: "I will be with you even to the end of the age."
