This Father's Day, we're closing out our Presence with God series by asking a question that's harder than it sounds: what does it look like to actually be prepared before life tests you? Drawing from an ancient story and some hard-won wisdom, we'll explore why presence with God isn't just a spiritual practice — it's the only thing that prepares you to make the right call before you're in the room.

As we close our Presence with God series, we're invited to ask whether our daily life with God is actually preparing us for the choices we'll face when life tests us. What decision or moment are you walking toward right now — and how is your time with God this week shaping what you'll choose before you ever get there? Have a prayer request?
