#41: On life’s expectations and God’s goodness.

Listen elsewhere: Anchor / Apple Podcasts / Spotify / Google Podcasts
In this episode of the Ministry Minded Podcast, I share some thoughts about God’s grace even in the midst of life’s most terrifying seasons and how God’s goodness is always greater than we remember it — his goodness exceeds our expectations. When we look back over the course of our lives, we will only have witnessed a fraction of how infinitely good God is to us. And it’s not only the good things we received, it’s also the bad things from which we’re shielded. Our heavenly Father is constantly guarding and keeping his children in ways they can never imagine. God is always better than we give him credit for.

Notes.
I’m Brad Gray and I currently serve as the pastor of Stonington Baptist Church in Paxinos, Pennsylvania. Besides pastoring, I spend most of my time writing, reading, and ministering in many more ways. My sole aim is to proclaim the timeless message of God’s gospel of grace in everything I do and say. Whether through the written or spoken word, my priority remains sharing and upholding the good news Christ’s life, death, and resurrection for sinners.
