"I Prayed for and 'Claimed' a Different Result"

Paul and his wife prayed fervently for God to restore or create a heartbeat for their child in the womb of his wife. They prayed for and “claimed” that God could and would make a heartbeat. That did not happen. This resulted in a time of deep introspection from which they gained insights into God and oneness with Him. Following that experience, he experienced a job termination from a toxic ministry environment. Through these two life traumas, God impressed on Paul and his wife a renewal of their spirits and relationship with the God who created them and whose thoughts and ways are above ours. Through these two life experiences, Paul ministers to those experiencing similar hurting experiences.

"What does it really mean to look for and listen to God?"

"To be able to see God working in our lives, we have to be intentional to seek Him and choose to believe with expectancy that He is always at work, to be able to lay down all that we are and open our hearts to God in faith and expectancy. He draws us to Him by allowing us to experience Him. The more we experience His presence, we experience His love too..... a love that transforms us from inside out. This is a journey of Trust."

"Foolish Invitations"

Following God's call on our lives, in many ways, looks crazy or foolish, especially to nonbelievers. Based on that description, Paul Granger is both crazy and foolish, and he wouldn't have it any other way. In 2018, after having been fired from a ministry he invested years in, Paul put it on faith that God would provide, but it wasn't always easy. He describes his experience as "being in a pit." Despite seeing claws on the walls and no apparent exit, he saw only one thing: Jesus. From that moment, Paul's faith has never wavered even though he hasn't received a traditional paycheck in 5 years. Today, he provides authentic, accessible spaces for those willing to explore God's invitation. A truly fascinating story of how God has shown up and continues showing up in the life of a strong, principled, Christian man.

Guest spot: What's the Value
"Love God and Love Others"

Paul brought "love God and love others" as his strongly held belief to discuss for the show.  What I knew about Paul from our prior conversation was that he would be super thoughtful about why he believed so strongly in this idea and he would also be super open to examining/challenging it to try to understand it better. We discussed why there are some Christians who would agree with his belief but don't follow it, why people are skeptical of Christianity, why so many Christians feel compelled to "stand up" for God, and if suffering is ever something that we should accept in the world.
