What Should We Do When God Tests Us?

When life falls apart, what do you actually do? In this week's episode, Granger, Tyler, and Parker and The AntMan tackle one of the most common questions Granger gets asked on the road: "How do you stay strong in the storms of life?" The guys break down why the answer is more practical — and more biblical — than most people expect. Just like a real storm, the worst thing you can do is try to fix everything in the middle of it. Instead, they discuss the power of seeking shelter in Christ, leaning on the ordinary means of grace (Scripture, prayer, and local church community), and why true strength is found in weakness, not willpower. The conversation goes deep into some of the Bible's most raw and honest moments — Job's response to devastating loss, the Psalms' cries of "How long, O Lord?", Paul's thorn in the flesh in 2 Corinthians 12, and Jacob wrestling with God in Genesis. Along the way, they explore the difference between shaking your fist at God (which Scripture calls sin) and honestly crying out to Him in grief and fellowship. They also share a heartbreaking real-life story of a Williamson County deputy who lost his pregnant wife — and connect it to Rachel's death in Genesis — as a powerful reminder that God is never caught off guard by our suffering. Topics covered in this episode: * What to actually do when you're in the middle of a life storm. * The ordinary means of grace: Bible, prayer, and community Is it a sin to be angry with God? * Paul's thorn in the flesh and Jacob's limp — what special revelation costs. * How the gospel reframes where our strength really comes from. Whether you're walking through grief, loss, or an impossible season, this episode will challenge and encourage you to hunker down in Christ — not in your own effort. The Gospel: Sinful people can be made right with a holy God through Jesus Christ. Christ lived a sinless life, died bearing God's wrath for sinners, and rose bodily from the dead. Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. New episodes every Monday.
