What if the hard stuff you’re going through isn’t random, but actually God trying to get your attention?
In When Mercy Confronts You, Pastor Alvin Brown teaches from the powerful message of the prophet Joel, showing how God’s mercy doesn’t always show up as comfort, but sometimes, it comes as a much-needed wake-up call in the form of confrontation.
Maybe life feels heavy right now. Maybe things are unraveling, or just quietly wearing you down.
What if, in all of that, God is confronting what’s been slowly pulling you away from Him, not to shame you, but to bring you back?
Whether you feel far from God or you're just trying to figure out what He’s up to in your life, this message is an honest invitation to return to Him. Not out of fear. Not with guilt. But with the hope that His mercy is still wide open.
Because when staying numb to the hard stuff just doesn’t work anymore, Joel reminds us it’s not too late to come back.
Hit play and confront the fact that God’s not waiting to punish you. He’s waiting to restore you.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
