Why do bad things happen? It’s a question Mike Gordon has wrestled with through life’s challenges — from being kicked out of his home at 14, to losing his job and relationship on the same day, to a near-death experience in 2019. As one of North America’s most booked Christian speakers, Mike has shared his unique blend of theology and humor with thousands, but his greatest message is one of hope in the face of suffering.

In this episode, Mike shares how he’s learned to live with the unanswered “why” and instead trust in the God who walks with us through pain. With heartfelt honesty and humor, Mike’s story reminds us that while we may never understand why bad things happen, we can always know the One who is with us in the midst of it all.

Mark shares how theirs a lot of emphasis on finding ourselves today. He tells us that if you're searching for yourself that you need also to search for God. They can't be separated because God is the source of your life. Genesis 1:26, 27 clearly tells us who we are. Check out the Found Podcast Episode 13 for Mark's incredible story and insight.

This week on the podcast, Robin Djokoto shares a powerful lesson: choosing gratitude over grumbling. When faced with emergency brain tumor surgery, Robin's perspective on life was forever changed. She learned to cherish each day and find joy in the little miracles of the mundane. Her story reminds us that when we lack gratitude, we risk missing all that God is doing in the here and now. So, ask yourself — are you choosing gratitude or grumbling today?

God transforms us from the inside out, and Romans 12:2 reminds us that it starts with the renewing of our minds. In this short devotional, we’ll explore how embracing the truth of our God-given identity allows us to walk in freedom and fullness. Building on my conversation with Dr. Merry C. Lin and her book Re-becoming, let’s discover how we can align our thoughts with God’s truth and step into who He created us to be. Check out her interview on The FOUND Podcast, Episode 10.
