361: Michael Freeland Miller on Why Simple Doesn’t Mean Easy, What to Do When You Feel Displaced in Life, What Happens to the Soul in the Fire, How to Steward Pain and Transition Well, and the Unmistakable Priority to Host God’s Presence

This week, the founder of UPPERROOM, Michael Freeland Miller, joins us to talk about why in life, “simple” doesn’t always mean “easy.” We’ll also scratch the surface on the subject of walking through seasons of transition. This I know: many of you are in transition right now. Maybe it’s from a job, a relationship, or just a stage of life. Suffice it to say, transition isn’t easy. Michael’s going to shed some helpful light on the subject. We’re also going to unpack how to steward pain and transition well, as well as the unmistakable priority to host God’s presence.

Guest Bio:

Michael and Lorisa Miller are the founding and Senior Leaders of UPPERROOM. In April of 2010, the Millers started a small prayer meeting in an office space overlooking downtown Dallas. From that initial prayer meeting, God birthed a movement of prayer and worship that continues to grow globally. Many lives have been impacted by UPPERROOM’s house of prayer, as people online and from all over the DFW metroplex come together to pray and worship every morning, noon, and night. In addition to their ministry in Dallas, Michael and Lorisa travel internationally to support other UPPERROOM communities.
