Trusting God that Hope is on the Way - Toby McKeehan (TobyMac)

[@anuajihdeYahweh]

Dito he looked so hurt. I admire his honesty and willingness to talk about such a diffcult experience.

[@star13718]

I so love how honest and humble he is❤

[@joannecatherinegabl1913]

Loved hearing TobyMac’s story of grief. I’m sure it is helping someone else to process their own with Christ by their side, or finally inviting Christ into it. I lost my dad and God loudly reminded me that I have an eternal Heavenly Father that will guide me spiritually now that my Earthly Father and mentor was in the presence of Jesus. I was a difficult mentee…my poor Dad. I am now grateful for the peace my Dad is now rewarded with.

Toby I love the way you constantly call God King ❤

This song is so right on. I lost my husband in 2020, mother in 2022 and my sister last month. This song has been helping me in my grief.

Thank you Toby. Going to make sure I read the Bible from front to back. Thanks for the encouragement. Also ty Focus on the Family

[@marybruce3923]

My mom read her,Bible front to back every year, for 50 years, when she went blind she would listen to it on tape player, until she passed. So yes reading God's Word front to back is important 🙌

[@selviselvi6039]

What a great prayer from the person, who is really broken inside, yet he talks about trust and calling God as daddy hug the ones who are down in heart. Thanks Toby. India

[@adlihkristopher2906]

Amen🙌 Weeping may endure for a nite but joy comes in the morning.

[@mkathrynblacker5960]

What really struck me was: In his grief, Toby wanted to be done with the music business, but how God gently, gently brought him back to it through the grief. He is so kind!!

[@heistruth2865]

Amen! Keyword is GENTLY. He gently guides us...Sadly we as people aren't always so gentle.....❤❤

[@kathyc00per2]

We must hold on to Jesus. Trust him in every situation in our lives. He will see us through.

[@ikoury1]

We saw Toby in Greenville in January. My grands and I play his music all the time. His lyrics make the Word so real.

[@thenelsons7593]

What a great interview.

[@donnathompson3625]

Your a blessing Toby Mac ❤ thank you for your prayers I also lost my son last year I love how you started reading the Bible the best book there is

[@stephengilbreath840]

Toby's new album "Life After Death" has really ministered to me, especially since I lost my mother on March 6th, 2023. I remember when the song "Promised Land" released in 2021. That really came at a time when I needed it. These last 2 years have been the absolute hardest of my life, especially the last 2 months. Grief is a terrible thing to deal with. I haven't lost a kid, but losing my mom was debilitating

[@focusonthefamily]

Hello, Stephen. We're sorry to hear of the heartache you are experiencing as a result of the death of your mom.

We have a staff of pastoral counselors available to offer reassurance, answer questions, and pray with you. We’d like to invite you to call our office from 6:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M. (MT) Monday through Friday; the number is 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459). The Family Help Center staff member who answers the phone will arrange for a call-back just as soon as possible. Grace and peace.

Yes, Toby Mac, yes you can write songs, sing, make music songs like the the music you like to listen to. Michael Tate is an amazing musician, artist.

[@TonyaAbernathy68]

What a beautiful testimony….

[@montegtaylor]

Wonderful interview!

[@Lisa-sp5if]

Toby. Thank you so much. Really. Your desire to follow Christ and your knowing his love for you even through what he is allowed in your life is such an encouragement to me and I’m sure many many other people. I have to tell you that out of all the Spotify songs and artist, yours were the most I listen to. And I might be just a year or two older than you, lol! I’m so grateful that God has allowed you to walk on, and really really really trust the goodness and sovereignty of our king. Often times we don’t get to say what is “good “.

[@jazminjimenez444]

Toby the best 💪👏🙏I love him so Much 🙏🙏

[@famof4392]

So beautiful & so sad😢

[@JustAThought155]

This is Focus on the Family but I am not seeing the family sharing about walking through the tough stuff. Forget the awards listed as his title, I wish I saw Mr. and Mrs McKeenan talk about walking through their son’s death while trying to trust in Christ in the midst of the storm.

Where’s he at with the culture war raging around us ?

[@marionwilson2521]

The war to make the heart evil started long ago. Be not deceived.

[@olsonkarolynn]

My question is, is he part of the illumanati? Because their symbolism will be their downfall.

[@deanaivanov585]

Shame on focus on the family. I’m done with it. Because you have as well chosen the new age movement.

Toby is one of my favorite artists. My dad loved him. He committed suicide 3 years ago. Now when I hear Toby Mac I think of my dad’s last years of fighting. I feel pain and hope when I hear it.

Praise God for this message. In November 2022 my adult son took his life. If it wasn't for God being in my heart and life, i believe I would have lost my mind after my son passed. Gods been using me to love on others that have lost someone due to death. My life has been hard but during this brokenness God is helping me to grieve gracefully. Thank you Toby for your testimony.

“We were either going to fall at the feet of the King or we were gonna run a million miles from Him.” I love how he kept referring to the love for King. Surrounding himself with people who love the King. The King is kind.

[@TobyQuan]

In the 90's he said that hope is on the way. In the 2000s he said that hope is on the way. In the 2010s he said that hope is on the way. In the 2020s hope is on the way. It never seems to get here, it's just something he continually says, and hopes that nobody will notice.
