Pure joy is associated with trials and tribulations.

When considering 'pure joy,' you may think of sunny days and miracles, but, in God's upside-down Kingdom, pure joy is associated with trials and tribulations. God built Abraham's faith through times of desperation, failure, and much pain, all while Abraham focused on God. Hebrews 11 teaches that, faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Consider, have you yet walked the journey of dire circumstance that gives you a choice: quit God altogether, or walk by faith.

Lawrence and Susan have each journeyed through unbelievably difficult circumstances. Addiction, betrayal, catastrophic illness, cancer, and death, are a few you may relate to. Circumstances that can cause you to question, "How did they survive that?" Through thought provoking wisdom and detailed understanding, you will hear their answer to your question. Alongside their journey, you will experience the life pilgrimage of our father of faith, Abraham, as told in Genesis.

Their stories will enlarge your capacity to believe God and see your faith grow, as you, too, learn to consider your hardship, 'pure joy!'

Lawrence and Susan Remaly were brought together in 2020 by an act of God as told in part in their inaugural book, “Consider It.” Susan grew up in West Virginia with a heart for Jesus and his church. She holds a Masters Degree in Pastoral Ministries from Global Awakening Theological Seminary and planted her first church, The Life Center (Sharing Life Ministries) in 2018. Lawrence grew up in New Jersey and experienced a supernatural encounter with God as a young adult husband and father. He is ordained through World Impact Inc., and served as an evangelist on the streets of Newark and taught in their inner city services. Lawrence served as a deliverance and inner healing minister for over 20 years. Today, together in WV, they serve as pastors, church planters, deliverance ministers, authors, teachers and spiritual parents to those God brings their way. Between them they have 5 vibrant and successful adult children and 10 amazing grandkids.
