Episode 518: The Mystery of Disappointment

In today’s episode, Gene explains why telling someone to pray might not be the first thing to do in our grief. Meditating first on God puts our life in perspective by focusing on God rather than ourselves. The starting place is to focus not on your disappointment but on God and his track record in your life. Focus on the God who is working ‘upstream’ from your life.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
