Summary
What do you do when life blindsides you, and everything in you wants to quit? In this message, Kiss The Fire, Pastor Shawn Johnson shares his testimony of facing an unexpected diagnosis and how we can get back up when we want to give up. We're learning to combat the quiet thoughts so many of us carry: Why would God let this happen? Is He even here? Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we’re reminded that faith doesn’t keep you out of the fire, but it keeps you from being alone in it. This message will help you:- understand how to trust God in the middle of pain and uncertainty - discover how to turn your pain into purpose - build resilient, “even if” faith that doesn’t quit NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contact

| 0:00.0 | Well, guys, you ready for some church today? Oh, I like the sound of that. So your pastor, |
| 0:07.3 | you may know this about him. He has a sort of a Jedi mind power and pray for him because I'm praying |
| 0:14.9 | that he'll continue to use it for good and not for evil, but he uses it over me nonstop. I can't tell |
| 0:20.6 | you how many things I own, how many places I can't tell you how many things I own, |
| 0:22.2 | how many places I've been, and how many things I've done, because your pastor goes, you will. And I go, I will never do that. And he goes, yes, you will. And I go, okay, I will. We're in New York together on a trip, and he texts me at 6 a.m. He's like, what are you doing? And I said, trying to sleep. |
| 0:36.8 | We're on vacation. |
| 0:38.2 | He goes, let's go see the Brooklyn Bridge. |
| 0:40.3 | I go, no, I'm sleeping. He goes, come on, man. I go, okay, fine. He goes, get your running shoes. I said, what? He said, we're running the Brooklyn Bridge. I said, bro, we're not running on vacation. He said, you will run. I said, okay. And you know your pastor, he loves history. So not only did |
| 0:56.0 | we run across the Brooklyn Bridge, but he gave me a history lesson while we did it. |
| 1:02.1 | I say all that to say that sometimes I feel like your pastor believes in me more than I believe |
| 1:08.8 | in myself. And he is one of the reasons why I wrote |
| 1:11.9 | this book. He helped me title it, helped me subtitle it. And so, Pastor Leva, I just want to say |
| 1:16.9 | thank you. I love you, brother. Thank you so much. Well, Fresh Life, in case you're watching from |
| 1:25.6 | a hike, a bike, a trail, and you, if you're in a room, you're kind of stuck with me, |
| 1:30.3 | but if you're watching on a device right now and you just realize, this is not Pastor Levi. |
| 1:35.1 | Just in case you decide to shut the laptop or turn off the TV in the next 60 seconds, |
| 1:39.9 | I'm going to tell you what this whole thing's about before you do. |
| 1:42.6 | If I had to describe today's talk, the book, in 90 seconds, I would say one thing, and I'd read one verse. |
| 1:52.0 | And the one verse I would read is this, Galatians 6.9, let us not become weary in doing good. |
| 1:58.7 | For at the proper time, we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. |
| 2:05.1 | And that verse has never been more important than it is to me right now. I'd read that one |
| 2:11.1 | verse and then I would tell you this, Fresh Life, I believe God sent me here this week just to tell |
