“In order to have a peace that surpasses all understanding, you have to give up your right to understand.”

This is the realest thing I've heard a preacher say in a long time. I pray his comfort in the Lord.

Dr. Evans has had four major losses in less than four years and he’s still standing!!! Only God, only GOD.

The Lord bless and comfort you in this season Pastor Evans. You are an example to all of us that grieve 🙌 because we are not without hope!

[shaneltaylor]

Brought to tears by this. God bless you man of God: one of the humblest men I’ve seen in the kingdom. We continue to pray for you and we love you Dr. Evans.

The Lord has richly blessed Dr. Evans with knowledge and wisdom. I think of him as America's Pastor. He delivers God's word in such a way that you see the insight that Jesus has put upon his heart/mind. Dr. Evans—I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Pastor Evans is the most solid man of God of our time! May God comfort Him deeply!

Although He is a Pastor, a Mentor, a Doctor, an Author, a Father etc...He ultimately is a servant. And He knew this was an opportunity to be an example to those who feel hopeless, disappointed, discouraged, confused, angry, sad, frustrated etc...It was important to know why developing a true genuine relationship with Jesus Christ is extremely important. Not just on Sundays but acknowledging Christ throughout the day, every day. Tony Evans didn't speak to impress anybody, rather he was making an impact, showing he had to turn to Jesus during this dark time in his life. We grieve with him and his family, yet at the same time, we pray for them at this particular time. We love the Evans family. Lois has made a great impact on this planet. God bless.

This is the a perfect representation of standing in/on the strength of God. I’ve always held great reverence for Dr. Evans and his beautiful family. But this has taken things to higher level [of respect]. We salute you, sir.

This hits different watching it in 2024. 2020 wasn't in anybody's plans...I've learned to align my plans with God's plans...the end

God Bless you Dr. Evans. Your example of strength only supplied by our Heavenly Father encourages me in my time of hurt.

[Taby]

This hurts so bad. I can't imagine losing my husband/ best friend. I love my spouse but I try to love the Lord harder because in the end, all things will perish except him. My condolences!

[smcdade]

I can't imagine the strength it took just to get out of bed, let alone preach. The Lord is a keeper!!!! Blessings to the family!!!

[TrevWILL]

This is a man who has Godly resolve in his life!! Such a model of faith!!

[stacywilson]

“If you don’t make room for divine interruptions in your life you will stay angry, mad, irritated, frustrated and exacerbated because life doesn’t always go like you planned.” This shook my soul....

[ToniGirl]

“I can’t let you go..” 😢 This is when it gets REAL! But this is also the moment when God is saying “Will you trust me?” Praying for strength for the family. ❤️

“Don’t plan like a fool, leave room for the will of God”
