    Everyone would love to have a supernatural experience of God. They imagine things like hearing from God, a miraculous answer to prayer, or even an overwhelming emotional experience - but what if your God experience was one of suffering, weakness, or brokenness? We hope God will show up in the good moments, but God says He'll show up in the bad ones.

    There's a huge phenomena in faith that we don't talk about. When we are trying to walk by faith and things get more murky, confusing and difficult. It's not just that we're tempted to give up, the circumstances make us wonder if we SHOULD give up. How do we learn to hang in there, even when things are confusing?

    Ok, there is little more emotionally charged, confusing and divisive than the conversation of sex and gender in our current cultural moment.
