EP. 33: Adventurous Obedience (with Kari Jobe)

God Hears Her Podcast

We’ve all heard it said that adventure is out there and that life begins at the end of your comfort zone. But how do we know the difference between recklessness and adventure? And how do we recognize when it’s God who is calling us out of the comfortable into something new He has for us? Kari Jobe has been there, and on this episode of God Hears Her, Kari joins Eryn and Elisa and discusses what she describes as the adventure of following God. Plus, Kari also shares the inspiration behind three of her hit songs.

About our guest:

For more than two decades, Kari Jobe has been using her gifts to lead people into the presence of God as a well-respected worship leader. When she began leading worship at 13 years old, she never imagined she would be nominated for a GRAMMY®, win multiple Dove Awards, have a RIAA Gold Certified single, or be praised by the New York Times. She has sold more than 1.3 million albums (TEA) in her career and has more than one billion career streams. Originally from Texas and now residing in Nashville, TN, she tours the country with her husband, Cody Carnes, and their two boys, Canyon and Kingston, and they both serve at their home church.

Notes and Quotes:

• “There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors.”
• “It’s okay to fail Him too. I have ‘missed’ Him plenty of times, and there is grace for that.”
• “With God nothing is ever a loss. It may have been a really expensive lesson that you learned, but most often the important things we learn are an investment of our time and money.”
• “If the heart is right, and you’re submitted to the Lord . . . it’s not a miss; it just might be a different way of looking at it.”
