Does God play hide-n-seek? When crises come your way, do you ever find yourself frustrated and questioning why God is seemingly absent from the moment? Perhaps, God is hiding you may tell yourself? You might even rationalize that the reason God is absent from the situation must be because of some indiscretion of your own doing. After all, isn’t it easier and more comfortable to blame an absent God than to just sit in the mystery of God? When your perception of God doesn’t live up to the expectation of God’s presence, what then? Listen as Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. explores what it means to live life reveling in the mystique of God rather than focusing on God’s absence. Discover how in the midst of indifference and tragedy, you can be the tangible presence of God in another person’s life supporting and loving just as Jesus demonstrated time and again with strength and reassurance, uncovered and visible.
