How God prepares us for hard times is almost never obvious while it is happening. In fact, most of the time it looks like nothing at all. It looks like a job. A season. A few ordinary years you would not think to write down anywhere. This week on the podcast, our guest Brittany Plourde told
When God feels distant during cancer, most of us quietly land on one of two conclusions. Either He has walked away from us… or we have done something to push Him away. However, I want to offer you a third possibility tonight. And I believe it is the true one. He is right there. You just
