Have you ever felt that life is supposed to work a certain way? You feel that if you get your boxes checked then you should be able to walk through life "normally." What we quickly learn, though, is that life is often beyond our control. In this episode of Doable Discipleship, Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Lauren McAfee, author of the new book Beyond Our Control. In this conversation, Lauren and Jason talk about the realities of grief and suffering, unmet expectations, embracing God as Comforter, how couples grieve together, and much more.
Lauren McAfee is the founder and visionary of Stand for Life and also serves as the ministry director at Hobby Lobby. Lauren is the author of Only One Life, Not What You Think, Legacy Study, and Created in the Image of God. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Ethics and Policy. Lauren previously worked for her father, Steve Green, while he founded Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, serving as curator, artifact collection manager, and director of community engagement. Lauren and Michael are happily married with two fierce and feminine girls, Zion and Zara.
Beyond Our Control is available now wherever books are sold.

Yes. Jesus said: ‘Follow me’. He meant, into all sufferings and tribulation, just as he walked himself and all of his disciples. In reality this is a tough call, but it’s a narrow way, a challenging walk, but by faith though he promised he would be with us through it all and sent us a comforter. Also, it is crucial that we are led by the spirit to avoid becoming worldly and to avoid unnecessary suffering. Being led is a learning process into obedience, again through what we suffer. This is all typified through the grain offering, which is the sufferings of a believer, which is pleasing to the Lord. That is the truth, and the truth will set us free 🕊

You seem so caring. Conserve your energy I usually answer haters with thank yous for their jealousy, hatred for themselves, or disagreeing with my truth. Look at actors they get more publicity from haters then those who love them. A hater can only affect you if you own what they are saying. And unfortunately it pays to be the victim in this World. And now we have real victims being victimized by those claiming to be victims. I enjoy your videos that educate me to Guatemala lifestyle. Though your spiritual documentary is nice.

When I was a young man, I realised that God enjoyed our pain. There was no other rational explanation.

The prophecy of Jesus, from Isaiah 42 from the Old Testament was quoted in Matthew 12:17-21 written that Jesus is the son and chosen servant of JEHOVAH the Most High our Father. What means everlasting life to Jesus and the scriptures, and what means everlasting life to us? Matthew 12: 17 in order to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah [Chapter 42] the prophet, who said: 18 “Look! My servant [Jesus The Son].. whom I [JEHOVAH The Father] chose, my beloved, whom I have approved! I will put MY SPIRIT UPON HIM, and what justice is he will make clear to the nations. Isaias 42 Look! My servant [Jesus], whom I.. support! My CHOSEN ONE, whom I.. have approved! I have put MY SPIRIT in HIM; He will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry out or raise his voice, And he will not make his voice heard in the street 5 This is what the TRUE GOD, JEHOVAH says, The Creator of the heavens and the Grand One who stretched them out (...) 6 “I, Jehovah, HAVE CALLED YOU in righteousness; I HAVE TAKEN HOLD OF.. YOUR HAND. I WILL SAFEGUARD YOU.. AND GIVE YOU.. as a covenant for the people John 17:3 This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
