#023 - Darren Hughes | Casting Crowns, Alaska & a Kidney Transplant
"Hey God, do you even hear me?"
Have you ever asked that question or wondered why God can seem silent at times? You are not alone. In fact in this episode, Darren Hughes, Stage/Production Manager for Casting Crowns and church planter, has a conversation with me about times when he wondered what his next step should be.
Just because it SEEMS like God is silent doesn't necessarily mean He is being silent. God has a purpose for your life just like He has a purpose for Darren. We don't always know why things happen the way they do, but if we trust that God is in control and live our lives that way, He WILL guide us according to His purpose.
Darren went to Mark Hall, lead singer for Casting Crowns, and his wife, Melanie Hall, tour manager for the band, for their insight into where God might be leading Darren and his family. Their advice was basically to keep moving forward until God said otherwise.
Ultimately, God led Darren right where He wanted him and that place essentially saved Darren's life.
Hear as Darren talks about his work with Casting Crowns, sharing the gospel in a remote village in Alaska, and planting a church in the Atlanta, GA area.
