What happens when the life you thought God called you to suddenly changes? On this episode of Truth Talk Live, Stu Epperson Jr. sits down with Pastor Chad Roberts, author of Blind Faith: Seeing God Through Darkness, for a powerful conversation about suffering, faith, ministry, and trusting God when you can't see what's ahead. Pastor Chad shares his remarkable testimony of losing his eyesight completely after a missions trip to Central America—and how, through that devastating experience, God transformed his faith, family, and ministry. He explains why he believes there has been "far more gain than loss" and how blindness taught him to be more present, more content, and more dependent on God. The conversation also highlights the upcoming Unstoppable Church Conference, created to encourage pastors, ministry leaders, church staff, and volunteers who may be facing discouragement, burnout, or challenges in ministry. If you've ever wondered where God is in the middle of suffering—or if you're tempted to give up—this episode offers a powerful reminder: God is still at work, even when you can't see the way forward.
