When You've Had Enough, God is Enough with Paul Granger

Inspirational Journeys: Stories that Matter

Has there ever been a time in your life when you say to God, “I’ve had enough?” I know I have, and my returning guest, Paul Granger talks about a time when he’s felt this way as well. Join us as we discuss how God becomes enough for us and gives us rest to continue on a much deeper and more profound journey than we could ever imagine. Paul's job is "ambassador of Christ"; anything else falls under that call. One of the ways God has invited him to live out the call to "love God and love others" is through creating authentic, accessible space for conversation and community, and advocating for those that may go unseen. This happens through content like the Where did you see God? Podcast and serving with East End Fellowship and YWAM Virginia. He is a husband, father of three, and fan of a good fire pit. Paul’s latest book is entitled I have had enough: How Elijah kept going when he had nothing left to give: “I have had enough, LORD. Take my life.” 1 Kings 19:4 These are not the words of a weak man, but of the great prophet Elijah, who after faithfully serving God and seeing Him work, found himself utterly depleted and hopeless. Can you resonate? Have you tried to serve God, only to find things getting worse? Have you tried to be faithful, only to find your actions misinterpreted? Have you given so much and felt more was taken in return? I have, and it is an utterly demoralizing place to be; yet we can find encouragement in Elijah's story, because the verse above was not the end. This short book takes us through the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17-19, where the ups and downs of his difficult invitations from God can help us discern how we can keep going when we have nothing left to give.
