Today Gene reminds us of an old saying: “What God expects, God enables.” God wants us to be a light in our families, our communities, and our world. There’s no doubt that as we look around at all the challenging dark circumstances in our world, it’s a prayer that has never been more needed. The prayer is this: God, show me how to be a light.

Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside’s conviction that God’s grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God’s presence and activity in your life.
