Adversity has a way of producing humility. When adversity kicks us and causes us to bend over in pain, we need to come to Jesus in humble prayer. In the story of Joseph, the Bible repeats, “The Lord was with Joseph.” Even during our worst circumstances, the Lord will be with us, when we come to Him in prayer. Gene encourages us to turn to God, even when we think He isn’t there. Through prayer we can gain the perspective that only time can give.

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.
