Have you ever wondered why God allows you to endure certain trials in life?  When the pain and pressure of your current circumstances threaten to overwhelm you, how can you remain faithful to Him and believe His word? How can you and I choose to trust God when we perceive His absence, or experience His “no”?

In those instances, it’s natural to wonder “why” God allowed events to unfold and to even experience a range of emotions as you digest His decisions. I know this to be true because over the last few years, I’ve had a bunch of hard stuff happen in my life. I’ve wondered how a faithful and good God can allow so many difficult divine disruptions.

I sat down with my father, Dr. Tony Evans, my sister, Priscilla Shirer, and my brothers, Anthony Evans Jr. and Jonathan Evans to discuss our first ever, family collaborative book, “Divine Disruption”.  

 

We spoke candidly about the challenges, insight, losses, and God’s apparent mercy.  While each of us embodies a unique perspective, in retrospect, the situations that occurred set the stage for us to individually hold onto faith when life’s realities are heartbreaking.

Here’s the truth – God still has His hand over you and has a greater purpose and plan for your life. Even in seasons of life that are consumed by difficulties, pain, or confusion, choose to trust Him. Part of trusting Him may mean that you have to purposefully embrace this season of struggle. Know that your choice to accept all that comes with a difficult period has great potential to increase your faith and deepen your relationship with God.

 

I believe our chat will give you practical help so that you can take your questions to the Heavenly Father, know how to stand firm on His promises, and trust Him beyond what you can physically see. Whether you’ve just exited a trying season, are currently in one, or heading into one, this conversation is timely and sure to encourage YOU.
