Gerard Long died of a heart attack, for thirty minutes. “The doctors expected to find the brain activity of cabbage,” said Gerard.  At 1 AM, Gerard and some buddies were streaming a World Cup rugby game between England and New Zealand. Suddenly, excited by a goal, Gerard went down. For half an hour, Gerard Long was lifeless. Our brains may be able to survive 5-6 minutes without blood flow, but never 30 minutes. How had Gerard survived? How were his mental capabilities not damaged? Was God saving Gerard for a special purpose?

A parent's worst nightmare. That's what Gerard Long and his wife, Jeannie, endured in 2005 when their son, Alex, committed suicide. And, inconceivably, it wouldn't be their last nightmare. Their daughter, Rebecca, was killed in an accident in 2014.   How did the Longs bounce back from their pair of life-shattering crucibles? Not quickly. And not easily. The trauma of the events nearly ripped their marriage in two, but as Gerard tells Warwick, they both found their way back to their faith – which not only helped them make sense of the tragedies, but create a life of greater significance and impact in their aftermath.   Out of their pain the Longs created Awakened to God Ministries, where they carry out a mission close to their now-healed hearts: Showing others who've suffered hard times and loss that God can take the worst things that happen to us turn them for good.   As Gerard explains, “Everything that God permits us to go through in our lives is preparation for what He's got for us later on.”   To learn more about Gerard Long, visit www.awakeningtogod.org   To explore Beyond the Crucible assets, including our free Life of Significance assessment, visit www.beyondthecrucible.com   Have a question or comment?

God has called you to a specific work through which you glorify Him and find contentment. However, how do discover God's perfect plan for your life? Gerard Long or Prayer at the Heart, outlines several keys to help you find God's will for your life.

Gerard Long interviews Fr. Nathan Cromley of the St. John Leadership Network, who shares his background on how he came to become a Catholic priest and his passion to see unity across all Christian faiths. A key part of Prayer at the Heart is unity between Christians from all denominations, people groups, and ministries. Gerard and Fr. Cromley discuss the fundamental elements that are needed to bring unity between all members of the body of Christ.

In the time since his last album, the original founding member of Odd Future has focused on his personal life including going to recovery for addiction, focusing on his mental health, and moving from Los Angeles to Toronto. As Hodgy – born Gerard Long – describes it, the new project has an almost bipolar feel to it, like he's two different artists – one the rapper and one the singer. June 7, 2020 is the day he found his sobriety and the new era of Gerard Long / Hodgy began.  In this candid conversation we chat about the contrast between being raised in Los Angeles and life now in Toronto; plus his new music.

I have had a bizarre journey in life and it's given me a powerful message to share with those who are struggling.

Living Hope – Gerard Long pt 1Life is full of unexpected things. Some good. Many bad. But through it all – God is still God! Amen! Sometimes we, as humans, have a hard time remembering that. It seems like we want to take responsibility in some things and leave God out of the equation. It seems we know what is best for our life, family and business or ministry – and we TELL God what it is that needs to happen. What happens though, when the bottom falls out. Not just in business, but in life. When such tragedy happens that it makes you reexamine your Faith walk. It is often in times like this, when you are not just at the “bottom of the barrel” but “under the barrel looking up.” It is at times like that, when God can finally get it through our head and down into our heart, that HE IS STILL GOD. My guest today has had numerous events in his life that has shaped his life, business and ministry. He has written a short book that explains the “seasons of life” that he has experienced. Gerard Long calls himself a “professor of life and death.” He is an author, a business leader, pastor, founder of “Awakening to God Ministries” and the former director of Alpha USA. He is now experiencing a blessed life, but it hasn't always been that way. The darkest valley of suffering he experienced happened all in a period of eight years. His youngest son committed suicide; this almost caused the break-up of his marriage; then the unbelievable death of his beautiful daughter. As if this wasn't enough pain, in the same eight-year period, his sister and brother also died, as did a nephew! As he was trying to rise from the ashes of those horrible things, he faced financial ruin at the hand of a “friend.” Then, he suffered a heart attack and was dead for almost 30 minutes! By a miraculous move of God, he was brought back to life and then faced an exorbitant amount of medical bills, only to face additional bills when his wife was diagnosed with bladder cancer! Gerard has documented much of his journey from this deep despair to triumph in Christ, in his book, titled, https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace and Purpose in Tough Times.”) The first question I always ask is this… Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Gerard Long?” Gerard, I want our audience to get an understanding of the kind of pressure you were under. Prior to your heart attack, the pressures of losing both, your son and you daughter, to me that seems almost unbearable. Can you talk a little bit about this time in your life, as I believe, from what I've read, this was the mounting pressure that may have triggered your cardiac arrest. Can you go over that time for us, briefly? In your book, you describe the night your wife experienced the presence of the Lord. I can relate to that 100%. I had made the decision to take my life and the Lord's presence just absolutely enveloped me in the room I was in. I was there, singing, laughing and all of that. What she described as the sparkling, etc. – yeah…when I read that, I was like “AMEN!” CONTACT INFORMATIONhttps://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 ()   Email: long@awakeningtogod.org Website: http://www.livinghopebook.com/ (http://www.livinghopebook.com/) Book: https://amzn.to/3z6FoL8 (“Living Hope: Awakening to Faith, Peace, and Purpose in Tough Times”) – on Amazon   Support this podcast

What can you do more of to really bless your spouse? What can you do to really know your spouse? On Sunday, August 11, 2019, guest speaker Gerard Long continues the sermon series, “Wisdom in Bite-Size Pieces” with a sermon on “Wisdom in marriage.” The worship service kicks off with a reading of Psalm 117 by Janet Griffin, followed by worship through song led by Daneen Wilburn. Daneen leads with songs, “Lord I Need You” and “Amazing Grace.” After a two-song worship set, the congregation greets those around them, and we have morning announcements via video by Ryana Contreras. Following the announcements, Janet Griffin gives the Prayers of the People. Then Steve Murray gives an introduction to the guest speaker, Gerard Long (refer to Gerard's bio below). Gerard Long gives the message of the morning. Following the message Steve Murray prays for the Offering and the band leads us back into worship through song with "Ever Be" and "Revelation Song." Steve Murray invites Ryana Contreras up to the stage to pray over her as she embarks on a new journey to serve the Lord at a new position in Point Loma. Following the prayer Steve Murray gives the Benediction and the musicians in the band play a reprise of Revelation Song. Daneen on lead vocals is joined by Craig Stephenson on electric guitar, Scott Davenport on bass, and Bob Sale on drums. Gerard and his wife Jeannie are the founders of Awakening to God Ministries (ATG) that was birthed in 2015 out of the deepest suffering. After many years on the ‘mountain top,’ their hearts were shattered after the suicide of their precious son Alex (17) in 2005. Darkness engulfed Jeannie’s broken mother heart, her love for Gerard turned to hatred, and she lost her faith for a season. She was rescued and restored but then, unbelievably, their beautiful daughter Rebecca (32) drowned in a tragic accident. Knowing she couldn’t continue, Jeannie decided to take her own life, only to be rescued and transformed by a divine encounter! Gerard and Jeannie are now sharing God’s love, faith and hope to bring good news to the poor, comfort to the brokenhearted, freedom to the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners. They have written several books and produced the Triumph of Marriage course. Gerard has experience as a 30-year Int’l Banker, Pastor, Author and CEO of Alpha USA 2008-2014. They currently live in Malibu, CA. and their son Ben lives in London, UK.

The Guys Like Us is joined with Gerard Long who is an author, speaker, and executive director of Awakening to God Ministries. Gerard joins us today from California, although, his roots lie in England. Once a young talented track and field athlete to then becoming an HSBC executive in the finance and banking industry, Gerard excelled in his personal and professional life. He was leading Alpha USA and living the high life with his wife, Jeannie. However, things took a turn. He reveals the loss of his first son, and then years later, the loss of his daughter. “In these times, the presence of God was unbelievable.” Gerard found great hope in the midst of this immense suffering. We dig into Alpha, which is a series of interactive sessions that freely explores the basics of the Christian faith. Finally, we discuss Awakening to God Ministries and the work they are doing freeing the captives by bringing light in the darkness. The World Health Organization announced last year that the biggest global illness is depression and the biggest cause of death under 35 is suicide. The way forward is through the cross, the means is hope. Hear a bit more about Awakening to God’s various ministries by visiting www.awakeningtogod.org. Join Gerard and the team at an upcoming conference in the Midwest on October 20th !
