Thank you Brian & Brent!!! I’m jumping in my car and will listen to your breaking news. Brian, we appreciate ALL your stories and keeping us updated with events happening every single day in Israel. As I’ve shared we have missionaries living in Southern Lebanon who had to flee the chaos and driving 16+ hours to get to Beirut for safety, but not exactly safe there too. We continue praying for safety on both sides.

We are grateful for you and your commitment to your TP family! We love you much and praying 🙏

Thank you my brothers in Christ Brent and Brian! As human beings in our lifetime we can speak from our seeing eye and hearing ear which can give sympathy to another but as Christians we can speak from the eyes and ears of our hearts thus being empathetic.

Brian you as a reporter speak from the eyes and ears of your heart and that's why you are so loved by the TP family.

My husband and I lost our first child, a son, at 3 months and 10 days from severe brain damage at birth from being deprived of oxygen. I went into a deep depression and had to be hospitalized for three months. In time God gave us the gift of a daughter and a son. We were unsaved at the time . Shortly after being found of the Lord and being born again I found myself at my kitchen table praying for friends who had just lost their five-year old daughter to leukemia. Suddenly I heard that still small voice of the Holy Spirit ... "Carol praise Me for your son's death just as it was." An unbelievable anger rose up in me as I screamed "Never, never!" as I pounded my fists on the kitchen table.

This went on for quite awhile when suddenly the unknown fist I had had in my heart toward God turned into praise and worship. I was free of all the hurt and pain of the loss of our son and His peace that passes all understanding flooded my heart and soul. I was not given any understanding of why we lost our son to death but somehow I didn't need it. That was 56 years ago and I have the assurance that Darren Raymond will meet my husband and I in God's house and have eternity together! To God be all Glory! Death where is thy sting?

This is soooo beautiful Carol! You continue to richly bless our TP family with your testimonies of God’s love and mercy. I also lost a son and was so brokenhearted but my precious dad would remind us… give thanks to the Lord for your son. It was a slow process, but He knew our pain and we were obedient in our thankfulness. We are blessed with three children, who love the Lord with all their heart, and we talk often about how God grows us in our pain and losses. Someday soon I will get to hold my son, Roger Thomas in my arms 🤗

WOW Brian, such a great, I am assuming, unplanned message to the Tipping Point family. As Jimmy often says God wanted a family, not robots. And although he knew and knows what decisions we will make, we don’t until the we make them and that helps us to grow and depend more on him. We all have questions of WHY in our lives and in Heaven we will know. Praise be to our Father in Heaven and may his will be done on earth and in us. God bless you all and keep you safe!!!

I could really relate to what Brian said when he was talking about losing his son and the book of Job. Several years back when I was going through what I thought was the worst that could happen to me (it wasn’t the worst that could happen but it seemed like it at the time), I would wake up every morning crying. I really did not want to live anymore. But I couldn’t do anything about it because I knew the Lord didn’t want that. I went through all that wrestling with God — why did He let this happen to me, is it my fault, am I reaping what I’ve sown in the past, do I lack enough faith, on and on, the whole gamut. The anguish was overwhelming. Still, I told the Lord I would not turn my back on Him. And the Lord did bring me out of that deep and severe depression. I don’t believe I’ll ever be able to get that depressed again. Like Brian, I never did find out the why of it all, but one thing became very clear to me: God did not want me as a fair weather friend. Sounds so simple, maybe even trite, but it’s true.

What an engaging conversation. Thank y’all so much for what you are doing. We get so little first hand news from our media, so I look forward to the Tipping Point reports I get each week. Brian Schrauger has become my favorite reporter, his insights are always heartfelt and eye opening. I understand the emotions he feels when he refers to the loss of his son, I too have lost a child and can surely relate. I also feel like prophecy is on display with each report. Thank you Tipping Point. May God bless and keep you all.

Campbell, I agree…. Our hearts are breaking what’s happening in our world from Israel to Lebanon, to the USA and globally! Babies lives are on the line and so much political wickedness. Then, the Lord tells us to not be anxious or worry about anything! Whew! It’s a constant renewal in our hearts🤗🙏

I loved the conversation about Job. What a great update! Maybe in the wrestling with God, God wants us to learn. Thank you for the updates, the prophecy conversation. Great show. The best so far!

This podcast was insightful in a pivotal and dynamic way. Thank you for sharing your insights

Stil wrestling with God to some extent and continue to ask why. The last point made about God being the Creator/God and we are not is the mainstay.

Blessings,

9-25-24 4:20pm cst This entire interview was educational, informative and the conversation was personal in seeking the heart of matters. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Excerpt: 18:05 Whether or not we're at that point, who knows? My own conviction, which may be completely wrong, is that we're probably going to see some kind of a time of peace and prosperity for Israel coming back, where the guard will come down again. But we'll see. Yeah, I hope so. I definitely hope so.

My opinion: My thinking tends to lean that direction.

excerpt: Excerpt: 27:00 Even Christianity doesn’t feel comfortable wrestling with God, but Judaism does 26:35 to 28:13 meaning of Israel and Islam. Wrestling and submitting

I appreciated this section of conversation and found it informative and instructive.

Thank you for your powerful ‘wrestling’ testimony. I still wrestle over the horrible circumstances of my husband’s death in 2022. How could the Lord have allowed a betrayal at this level then months of suffering? “ Really Adonai? Just on the heels of publishing my first book ALL ABOUT YOU LORD…about your beautiful Torah. Where were our Cherubim on that day?”

Then I recall Job! Then I repent. I know peace will one day emerge.

May the Lord bless and keep you - Face to face with His smile upon you! Shalom Brian.

I watched this again this morning. Thank you Brian for sharing your story and commenting on the book of Job. It really touched me and spoke to my spirit. Thanks to Brent for being open about being in a storm season. It’s easy to forget that pastors go through those times also. Keeping you both in prayers!
