His Life Was Perfect, Then God Told Him Something Frightening… A Modern Day Job Story | Gerard Long

What do you do when God warns you the breaking is coming… and then it does? In this deeply moving episode of Heaven Meets Earth, Gerard Long from Awakening to God shares a story that will challenge—and strengthen—your faith in ways few testimonies can. Once living what many would call a dream life—thriving in faith, family, and purpose—Gerard sensed the Lord speak something unexpected: “You’re going to go through brokenness, and through it, people will know My name.” Then, everything fell apart. In a series of devastating losses that echo the story of Job, Gerard and his wife Jeannie walked through the unimaginable—the tragic death of their son Alex, followed by multiple family losses in just months. In the face of overwhelming grief, they were left with a choice: turn away… or trust God through the bitterest cup. This episode is not just about suffering—it’s about what happens in it. Gerard vulnerably shares how pain can take root in the heart, how it can “clog” the life Jesus wants to pour into us—and how guarding your heart becomes everything when life doesn’t make sense. Through it all, his story reveals a profound truth: even in the darkest moments, God is still at work, and faith can endure what feels impossible. If you’ve ever wrestled with loss, questioned God’s plan, or wondered how to keep believing when life breaks you—this conversation will meet you there. ► Support CBN And This Podcast: https://go.cbn.com/ujsHE ► Learn More About Superbook: https://go.cbn.com/unXaZ 📌 Subscribe for more deep-dive episodes on miracles, supernatural phenomena, and the unseen spiritual world.
