Pastors in the Chicago area are invited to our next Pastors Lunch on Thursday, October 9 at Orland Park Christian Reformed Church. Join us for a rich time of fellowship, prayer, lunch, and teaching from guest speaker Mark Vroegop.

Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still. Learning to wait in life and ministry requires resisting the human urge for control and leaning on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold.

Mark Vroegop (BA, Cedarville University; MDiv, Cornerstone Seminary) is the president of The Gospel Coalition. He served in pastoral ministry leadership for nearly 30 years, most recently as the lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis. An award-winning author, Mark has written several books, including Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy: Discovering the Grace of Lament and Waiting Isn’t a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life. Mark is married to Sarah, and they have three married sons, a college-aged daughter, and two grandchildren.
