God comes to us as Life.
God uses Everything to guide us, invite us into Awareness. Many times the revelation of God's life in us, through us, and for us is not revealed for many months or years after a glimpse of awareness.
Join us as we explore how, out of what seemed just wreckage, emerged deep faith and unexpected spirituality with our guest, Evan Berke.

Evan comes from a Jewish family and is from Atlanta Georgia but currently lives in Tennessee. Evan Berke works for Stars and TMZ. Evan uttered that as long you don’t stop what you are doing, God will always be by your side. The thing that started Evan’s faith journey was when he was a senior in High School and suffered a car accident with his friends. Evan remembers that 5 to 6 minutes before the car accident occurred he thought to himself to put his seatbelt on but he didn’t. Later on he tells Dr. Georgeann and the listeners that this was a signal he ignored from god. Before this section ended he recalls having a dream of a car accident when he was in Elementary School that might be the same car accident he suffered.
Segment 2Dr. Georgeann Dau asks Evan to describe the feeling he had while being in the accident. Evan told Dr. Georgeann that he never lived his best life while being in high school. He was doing drugs, and always lying to his parents etc. After the car accident Evan had a new kind of energy, a positive one. He was willing to take risks for what he wanted to do ( Stand Up Comedy). In school, Evan’s reputation was known as, “ the kid that broke his hand” after the car accident.

Segment 4God will meet us where we are, Dr. Georgeann Dau mentioned. God sends us signs that we sometimes ignored but somehow remember those signs in the future.
