Rainforests and Deserts | How God Uses Every Season to Make You Look More Like Him

This episode

Deserts and rainforests. One day life feels like you’re stuck in a desert, begging for rain. Other times feel like rainforests—life is lush and you’re swinging through the vines like George of the Jungle.

Why does God feel so far away in one, yet, so close in another? This week, Brian Tome shows us how God isn’t just with us in the good times, but uses every season of life to accomplish His main goal—to make us look more like Him.

Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Hosted by Brian Tome and Alli Patterson and Chuck Mingo and Kyle Ranson
