When Life Feels Like a Bunker: Choosing to Look for the Good
What do you do when you're swinging with all you've got and still end up in the bunker—again and again?
In this heartfelt episode of Small Beginnings with Sara, Sara Thurman invites you into a raw and real moment on a road trip through the Pacific Northwest. With aching hips, frustrating golf shots, and a rain-soaked day, she reflects on what it really means to look for the good when everything feels hard. From muddy bunkers on a historic golf course to deeper struggles like marriage, church hurt, and discouragement, Sara doesn’t shy away from the pain. But she also doesn’t stay there.
Rooted in Philippians 4:8, this episode is a reminder that we get to choose where we fix our eyes—and that God, even in the middle of our mess, is looking for the good in us too.
If you’ve ever felt like giving up, like the hits keep coming and joy feels just out of reach, this is the reminder your soul needs: You are seen. You are loved. And the goodness of God is still all around you—even if you have to look a little harder to find it.
