Who is God?

Trusting in God's Provision -Lynn Bergen


Listen Later

Lynn grew up working on a farm in rural Sutton, Nebraska. Raised by parents who made faith an everyday practice, Lynn attended a small Methodist church, prayed at every meal, and learned the value of hard work alongside his three older brothers. Lynn first felt God's presence during thunderstorms on the farm and the stillness of country nights.

As Lynn grew older, his faith evolved from being a family tradition to a personal relationship with God. He learned to trust in God’s provision in profound ways, such as when he and his wife had to decide between tithing to their church or buying groceries. In an act of faith, they chose to give to the church, and shortly after, an unexpected financial blessing arrived. Lynn continued to look to God’s provision and guidance throughout his life.

Throughout his life, Lynn has modeled his faith by teaching his two sons about Jesus like he had learned from his own family: through the example of a life rooted in prayer and trust. Whether it was building a clubhouse with his young son or taking them to church every Sunday, Lynn believes that children learn about God by observing their parents. Lynn continues to rely on God’s timing, provision, and love. His story is one of faith, family, and unwavering trust in God’s presence, a testament to the power of a life lived in close relationship with Christ.

“God is our creator. God is our maker. God is the person we trust for everything that we have. And we really don't own anything. He has given us everything that we have. We realize that and we realize that we won't take anything with us. We'll be naked as the day we are born. When we meet him on the throne, that it will be a glorious day.”
