E03: Part 1: The Beauty in Suffering: How God Always Brings Things Full Circle

Some days, it feels like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. During these tough times, we may feel like we can’t go on. But even in our darkest moments, we can find hope by trusting in God’s plan.

In this episode of Kingdom Flow, Kyle Ewald joins us to share his journey from a dysfunctional childhood to a faithful follower. We all have a choice to make in difficult times: Will we trust God, even when things don’t make sense? Or will we give up on Him and try to figure out life on our own? Kyle lost his way for a while, but in the end, he chose to trust God—and that has led to possibilities that he could not have imagined before. His powerful story shows us that with God on our side, nothing is impossible.

Join us in this conversation to see how divine and beautiful God’s plans are. Let us hold onto His hand and walk through life together, knowing that no matter what comes our way, He will be with us always.

Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation:

• Have faith in God
• Bring glory to God in everything you do
• Trust in His plans
• Give back to others
• Know that things will come full circle

Episode Highlights:

[07:54] Have Faith

When an “unqualified” person does amazing things, it brings glory to God. When you are anxious or stressed, you cannot be present. Even when things do not go according to your plan, stay faithful and trust in His plans for your life.

[15:17] A Difficult Past

Growing up, Kyle experienced a lot of dysfunctional patterns in his life. When his mother died from drugs, his youth pastor at the time—now his stepfather—takes him in. He started doing drugs and other dysfunctional behaviors. Then, he was recruited to become a banker.

[35:21] Knowing God

Kyle got to a point where he was making tons of money. But he felt empty. When he heard a song from a Rick Pino CD, he grabbed his Bible and came to know God. From there, he went down a radical path.

[30:41] The Mission in Guatemala

When he went to Guatemala, he was amazed by a blind lady who wanted a church to be built there. So Kyle raised $8,000 and filmed the church being built. God has brought Kyle’s life back full circle. He went through suffering but everything correlates beautifully.

Notable Quotes:

[07:00] “The fact of me owning a business and running a nonprofit and doing all this is wild, but God’s had His hand on it for sure.”

[11:48] “When you worry, when you have anxiety, you’re not there. You’re not present.”

[37:18] “It doesn’t matter how much I pour into my system to make myself happy. The sea is never full.”

[47:28] “Yes, I went through hell, I guess. Yes, I went through some horrible tragedy. I’ve seen things I probably shouldn’t have seen. But it’s beautiful to see how that all correlates.”
