If you lived a little and journeyed a while with God, you might have come to realize that God has His own ways that often appear to run counter to ours. Hard times come. Our prayers get answered, but in ways we never anticipated. God goes “off script”, as our guest today would say. In this episode we talk about the idea of having a relationship with a God who not only allows suffering, but journeys with us in that suffering. We don't like it. But learning to embrace all of who God is allows us to live more free and wholeheartedly. What does it look like to doubt well? Can God handle our wrestling? When God doesn't show up "on time" is he still good? This conversation is for any leader who is facing the underbelly of their own faith as they lead others or those who are going through hard times and want a message that brings life, and doesn't leave you more deflated.    Today's guest is Albert Tate, the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County California. He began his ministry pastoring just a few families at Sweet Home Church in Mississippi before serving the historic multi ethnic and multi-generational Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California. As a dynamic communicator, Albert is passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and globally. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Azusa Pacific University, the Global Leadership Network, and Global Church Planting Organization, Stadia. Albert is also the Founder and CEO of The Greatest Story, Inc, and President of Harambee Ministries. His first book was entitled, “How We Love Matters: A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation.” Albert is the proud father of four children: Zoe, Bethany, Isaac, and Micah. His latest book, "Disobedient God: Trusting a God Who Goes Off-Script" is one for every library.    To connect with Albert Tate, visit:   WEBSITE - https://alberttate.com/ SOCIAL -  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/albert.tate.5/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/alberttate Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alberttate/   BOOKS -  Disobedient God: Trusting a God Who Goes Off-Script How We Love Matters: A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation   =======================   We LOVE that you've decided to join us this week for the Living Wholehearted Podcast.

Nick was the first person to come to the hospital to sit with my mom when I was in a coma. What brought on such a hard time was a 9 month episode. It was by far the worst time in my life but with the help of many friends and community I was able to get through this hard time.   I met Nick in Northern Colorado over 20 years ago. We have been having deep theological talks and also laughing and having fun for more than two decades. Having him on the podcast was a huge honor. We explore some stories from the Gospels and other parts of Scripture. We touch on stories of healing, miracles and even spiritual warfare.   Nick's BIO:   Nick Barrett P.h.D (Theology) has served in both church and academic environments for the last 15 years. He is currently working as a ministry consultant at Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena Ca.    He has been married to his wife, Rita, for 18 years.
