<p>Today's podcast&nbsp;will address bridging the gap between our expectations and the reality of life. We've all had moments where we stand shell-shocked by the reality&nbsp;of our lives and wonder how in the world we ended up in our present state. Whether due to our own actions, uncontrollable circumstances, or the responses of others... life just doesn't follow a script and often is quite contrary to our expectations. What do we do when this happens? Join Dr. Brian Delbridge and myself as we explore how purpose, faith, forgiveness, thankfulness, and embracing the present can assist in bridging the gap between expectations and reality.</p> <p>Dr. Brian Delbridge created LAF Ministries, in his own words, to "assist pastors in developing the practical tools needed for successful ministry and assist the Church to be the Church, by developing a lifestyle of Love, Acceptance, and Forgiveness."
