Where is God when the Going Gets Tough?
New date - Saturday 17 October online and with your local men's group
Have you ever thought to yourself, where is God when the going gets tough?
Dr Mick Duncan is a speaker and author who has walked through many tough seasons in his life, including job uncertainty, death of a child, a prodigal child that was on drugs, needing to say sorry when he got it wrong, and he’s found God’s grace and mercy carry him. Out of this journey he’s learnt how to hold onto faith in difficult times. He’s lived with the question of where is God when bad things happen and come alongside others who were also looking for an answer.
Recently Mick went into self-isolation after coming back from the UK concerned that he could be infected by COVID19. Fortunately he didn’t have the virus but during his 14 days of isolation he experienced feelings of anxiety, depression, guilt and too much time alone in his thoughts.
Mick has got helpful strategies to share with us to get us through tough times. His message will also allow us to discover that faith can help us emerge stronger despite the difficulties.
We invite you and your friends to be a part of this online event with Mick Duncan on Saturday 17 October.

A common request Promise Keepers receives is “who can we get to speak at our men’s event?” For small or remote groups especially, the costs can be prohibitive.
To help churches, PK has organised some fantastic speakers for this coming year who can be accessed from anywhere via Livestream.
Your church can now have a top quality speaker at your men’s breakfast! You can ask questions at the live Q&A at the end of the message. And it’s all free!
"As a pastor these events are so easy to organise and we know they are going to have great content. Really appreciate the work PK puts in to make these happen." - Anon
