We should never regret the sorrow that comes our way if it causes us to find God. We don’t always know why God allows certain things, but we know He can always use them. In today’s episode, Gene reminds us that suffering doesn’t last forever. While it is intense for a few years here on Earth, it pales in comparison to the time we’ll spend in eternity if we have trusted Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

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.
