Episode Synopsis

This week at Refuge Church, Pastor Lance delivers one of the most raw and powerful messages in the Valleys series: The Valley of Heartbreak. Drawing from the life of Job, we explore what it means to walk through deep pain without turning our back on God.Even when you’re crushed by loss, confused by God’s plan, and tempted to give up—what if eternity with the Father is enough?💡 Topics include:✔️ Why heartbreak doesn’t mean God is distant✔️ How Job stayed faithful even in deep suffering✔️ What surrender really looks like in painful seasons✔️ Why eternity gives purpose to our present pain✨ “God is not scared of your heartbreak—He’s present in it. The question is: will you surrender even when you don’t understand?”🙏 Stay connected with Refuge Church and be inspired each week as we grow together:👉 https://linktr.ee/therefugechurch📚 Chapters:0:00 - Welcome & Introduction1:10 - The Reality of Heartbreak4:49 - Honoring Tim Keller’s Teaching on Job5:42 - Job 3:1-10 – Cursing the Day of His Birth7:07 - The Devil’s Attack and Job’s Loss12:28 - Job’s Lament and the Silence of His Friends14:49 - Job’s Friends Blame Him15:54 - Job 38 – God’s Response to Job19:04 - Job 42 – Repentance and Restoration21:07 - Why God Still Called Job Righteous23:13 - God Sees Through the Lens of Eternity24:43 - When God Doesn’t Answer Your Prayer26:44 - The Only Way Out: Surrender27:36 - Heaven: The Hope Beyond Heartbreak29:27 - Have You Counted the Cost of Following Jesus?31:44 - Total Surrender to God35:24 - Is He Still Enough If He Never Does Another Thing?36:47 - A Call to Respond
