Episode description

Has God left me here alone?

When we find ourselves in dark, dangerous places, it's easy to wonder if God has left us. We might wonder... 

  • Did I miss his instructions? 
  • Is it because of sin? 
  • Does he just not care?

What if those are the wrong questions? What if we're supposed to ask...

  • Where do I remember seeing God in the past?
  • Is it possible he's still there?

Difficulty and hardship do not equal God's absence. In fact, Psalm 23 makes it clear that oftentimes the right paths lead through dark valleys. Which means, even if it's harder to see at times, God's provision and protection is still with us in difficult, dangerous places.

This week, Jason Gaboury helps us better understand the confidence and hope that we can have, even when the path we're walking leads through some pretty dark valleys.
