Doable Discipleship

Have you ever felt that life is supposed to work a certain way? You feel that if you get your boxes checked then you should be able to walk through life "normally." What we quickly learn, though, is that life is often beyond our control. In this episode of Doable Discipleship, Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Lauren McAfee, author of the new book Beyond Our Control. In this conversation, Lauren and Jason talk about the realities of grief and suffering, unmet expectations, embracing God as Comforter, how couples grieve together, and much more. Lauren McAfee is the founder and visionary of Stand for Life and also serves as the ministry director at Hobby Lobby. Lauren is the author of Only One Life, Not What You Think, Legacy Study, and Created in the Image of God. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Ethics and Policy. Lauren previously worked for her father, Steve Green, while he founded Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, serving as curator, artifact collection manager,
