It’s Not Fair (Robert Madu)
6/7/202651 min
Are you disappointed because of what happened… or because of what you expected would happen? When life feels unfair, it’s easy to compare your story to someone else’s and wonder why things worked out differently. But peace comes when you stop measuring your life against other people and start trusting the character of God.

[upbeat music] Hey, this is Steven Furtick. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church, and this is our podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you, hope it builds your faith, hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life. Enjoy the message. I welcome our EFAM all around the world. Would you help me welcome them? Put your hands together. [audience applauding] And when you're a preacher but you come to church but you don't preach, you wanna make sure that you got a great preacher, somebody you wanna listen to, so I do today. My oldest son, Elijah, is gonna come tell you who we've got preaching today. He's not preaching today. That would be a plot twist.

Man, it's a s- What, what would you do if I said, "And our preacher for today..." I'm gonna have to tag in my boy PGF over here, my boy Graham.

Elijah Furtick· Guest0:55
I think he'd have something for it.

I love it.

Man, it's a special day today, 'cause we've got a very special guest, Robert Madu, in the house. [audience applauding] And, yeah, come on, give it up. And honestly, it's not really accurate, I know we always say this, but it's not really accurate to call him a guest, because he's family. Mr. Chunks actually told me that second to my parents, he's actually preached the second-most times out of anyone in this pulpit. Can we give it up for that? Come on. [audience applauding] But come on, y'all, we got one of the best-dressed pastors in the game coming all the way from Dallas, Texas.
