In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Randy Turpin pauses his planned revival series to address the tragic flooding in Texas that has claimed over 80 lives and left many missing. Speaking from Princeton, West Virginia, while visiting his parents, Dr. Turpin reflects on the Christian response to tragedy and the importance of taking time to embrace the heart of God in the midst of what is happening.
Rather than rushing to provide quick fixes or definitive answers, Dr. Turpin emphasizes the biblical call to "rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn" (Romans 12:15). He explores how connecting heart-to-heart with others in their pain is a way of connecting with God's heart, and why genuine intercession requires us to feel the weight of tragedy in our own hearts.
The episode includes practical ways to help, including supporting reputable organizations like Samaritan's Purse, while challenging listeners to move beyond casual "praying for you" comments to intentional, faith-filled intercession. Dr. Turpin shares his personal practice of stopping to actually pray before typing or saying those words, emphasizing that prayer from God's presence can shift realities.
This raw, unscripted conversation invites listeners to embrace their humanity in the face of suffering and discover how authentic mourning can become powerful ministry. The episode concludes with a heartfelt prayer for those affected by the Texas flooding.
