In the Meantime

Speaker: Andy Stanley
Length: 6 Parts

What do you do when there's no way forward and there's no way out? In this study, Andy Stanley answers that question.

Part 1: “The New Normal”

What do we do when we have problems without solutions . . . questions without answers? During times like these, it's tempting to give in to anger . . . especially anger toward God. It feels like God is absent, apathetic, or angry. But what if he isn’t?

Part 2: “A Purpose and a Promise”

Every once in a while, we run into people who are stuck in unchangeable, unalterable, in-the-meantime situations that maintain extraordinary faith despite extraordinarily difficult circumstances. How do they do it?

Part 3: “Yes, You Can”

When there’s nothing you can do to change your situation, it’s easy to become resentful or angry with God. So, what is the secret of finding contentment even when times are tough?

Part 4: “Where’s Your Focus?”

If you’ve ever been “in the meantime” or if you’re currently “in the meantime,” you can’t help but conclude that you’ll never be happy again and nothing good could come from your circumstances.

Part 5: “Believe It or Not”

Jesus told his followers to expect trials. Is it possible that God can redeem, use, or work through the undeserved, unavoidable, circumstantial trials in our lives?

Part 6: “Comfort Zone”

God can redeem, use, and work through our pain. And when he does, we eventually have the opportunity to comfort others. People who’ve suffered are uniquely qualified to comfort people who are suffering.
