Episode Description

I am privileged to be joined by the inspirational author Gerard Long on the podcast this week. 

Gerard Long is an author and pastor, who had a 30-year-year career in banking, was the National Director of Alpha USA for seven years and is the Founder and President of a non-profit corporation, Awakening to God Ministries. In the first week of its release, his book Living Hope was Amazon’s #1 New Release and #1 Bestseller. Gerard has an exciting story to share with us. In 2019, Gerard died from a cardiac arrest. He was pronounced dead not once but twice in 30 minutes. Asking the question, “Why am I still here” he sensed a divine calling to write his latest book, Living Hope, to share three epiphanies that helped him journey through a season of catastrophic suffering. 

In this episode, we will tackle topics like how to journey through suffering, how to find God’s plan/purpose for your life, how to triumph in the fight of faith, and how to succeed in your marriage when all seems lost.

Enjoy the episode, and a special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey. Stay tuned and keep listening.
