150: Overlooked, Unseen, and Left for Dead. God, Where Are You?! (feat. John Bevere)

Here’s the situation: you’re doing everything according to plan, yet nothing seems to be working out. Worse, and I know you all have been here, God seems to be very distant during these difficult seasons of life. And if you’re anything like me, your knee-jerk response is to run. Maybe you heard God speak, but now He seems silent. Maybe you moved forward in faith, but now His presence is nowhere to be found. My friend, welcome to the wilderness―the place between receiving a promise from God and seeing it come to pass. But the good news is that this difficult season does not have to be without purpose. God will use the wilderness season you’re in to prepare and equip you for your destiny―that is, if you navigate it correctly. And joining us today to help us navigate through wilderness seasons is John Bevere.

John Bevere and his wife Lisa are the founders of Messenger International, an organization established to teach, reach, and rescue. A speaker and best-selling author, John delivers messages of uncompromising truth with boldness and passion. But this hasn’t always been John’s story. Early in his life, shortly after marriage, John entered a very difficult season of testing in which everything and everyone seemed to be against him. Waking-up each day in pain, questioning the very purpose for his life, John realized that the inside-out strengthening he needed was actually taking place in the midst of feeling left for dead.

In today’s conversation with John Bevere, you’re going to learn what the wilderness is (and how to recognize it in your life), how to posture yourself in difficult seasons, why complaining will short-circuit your potential and elongate your stay in the wilderness, and why discouragement often arrives right before your critical moment of personal victory. If you’re feeling stuck and alone, buckle-up and know this: you are in God’s hands and can walk-through this process with character and integrity. Right now, here’s my conversation with John Bevere.
