by Thomas Cheevers on June 3rd, 2025

Divine Redirection, Not Rejection
by Thomas Cheevers on May 28th, 2025
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." - Romans 8:28When doors close in our faces or prayers seem to go unanswered, it's easy to interpret these experiences as divine rejection. We wonder if God has forgotten us or if we've somehow fallen out of favor. But what if these apparent setbacks are actually setups for ...  Read More
