Confidence in Christ
Hope in the Darkness: Trusting God’s Presence When Life Feels Heavy with Dustin George
I am completely blown away that this is the last episode of Season 5 of the Confidence in Christ Podcast!! God has been so faithful!
We are ending season 5 and 2024 with a wonderful send off. I was able to chat with Dustin George about his new book, Before Dawn: Knowing God's Presence in the Dark Seasons of Life. I have to say... what a timely message. I feel like winter brings about a bigger chance for depression, anxiety & sadness just because of the drab weather (at least in my neck of the woods). Plus... the holidays aren't always joy filled & happy for all of us. I know this all too well.
One of the biggest ah-ha's for me during this conversation was when Dustin talked about how God has never failed. That isn't anything new to me but when we are in grief we add the word 'me' to the end of that statement... God has never failed me. But when we stop and look over all of history we see that God hasn't only never failed US personally... he has never failed ever! And he never will! That alone gives us hope in the midst of the trials and hard seasons.
Dustin C. George is a lead pastor, a writer, and a conference speaker. He has served for nearly two decades in various pastoral positions across all age ranges. Before entering full time church ministry, Dustin taught high school English for ten years. In his free time, Dustin can usually be found fly-fishing in the Smokies, expanding his skills as a craftsman, or enjoying his next adventure. He and his wife, Rebecca George, live in East Tennessee.
