When Things Don't Go as Planned
Feb 22, 2026 • Brad Gaillard
Today we wrap up our Tough to Love series by looking at one of the most painful chapters in David’s life — his family.
In the story of David and Absalom, we see what happens when relationships fracture, communication breaks down, and things spiral far beyond what anyone planned. David was a king, a warrior, and a man after God’s own heart… but he was also a father navigating heartbreak.
“What do you do when life doesn’t go the way you pictured it?”
When prayers don’t get answered the way you hoped?
When family gets complicated?
Join us as we talk about trust, consequences, grace, and how God is still at work — even when things don’t go as planned.
