23 - What's God Got to Do With It?

Life is a roller coaster of ups and downs.  It's simply part of the human journey.  If God "works good out of all things for those who are called according to His purpose," (Romans 8:28) and one has a painful and life-altering experience, did God cause it to happen in order to bring out that good?  Can we assume all of it was a part of the original plan?What's God got to do with our day-to-day?  Pastors Roy Jacques and Julie Hiott discuss with Joey Svendsen their take on this mystery.  We also hear two stories from the Seacoast family, one in which a young girl's (now grown woman, Kristen Overcash) dreams of being an Olympic gymnast is shattered by an obscure back condition and a successful businessman (Jack Hoey) loses his business during the economic turmoil of 2008.  Did God orchestrate these losses for a greater purpose?   Were the life-changing events included in God's perfect will for these two?  Questions we can only ponder.  And that's what we do here in this episode.    Stay ConnectedWebsite | Facebook Discussion Page  In this episodeLynne Stroy, intro / InstagramJoey Svendsen, co-host / InstagramJulie Hiott, co-host / InstagramRoy Jacques, co-host / FacebookKristen Overcash / Instagram Jack Hoey / Linked inVoices in montage at beginning:Jack Hoey III, Shannon Link, Kareen Ripperda, Brian Adleman Executive Producer: Josh SurrattProducer/Editor: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: JT PriceSound Engineer: Gabe DewalkTheme Song: Joel T.
