Reflections as My Dad Dr. Tony Evans Steps Away: What God Teaches in Hard Times | Jonathan Evans

[@slaugh77ify]

A righteous man falls down 7 times, but he gets back up

[@Bestill37-7]

Jonathan, thank you for sharing. I miss your dad’s sermon very much. I am trusting that the Lord is restoring his heart. And I am praying for you and your family for safety and wisdom. May the Lord fill you with love and strength, in Jesus’s name.

[@tkmfulu4605]

The way you handle this difficult situation is a reflection of Dr. Tony Evan's work on your life.

[@shannellemk5554]

What an amazing way to reflect on the challenges we face daily through the Word of God! Well said @JonathanEvans, a great teacher/speaker that you are - Love from United Kingdom ❤❤❤

[@beverleybrangman2191]

Thank you Jonathan, for reaching out to me and the world, through your trouble, trial and family grief.Such grace, and selflessness. I first heard of you yesterday when the skit on the Prodigal Son aired yesterday. God sent this to me today. How did this just come to me today?What a Blessing this has been . I pray for you and your family through this season. I am dealing with family estrangements now, which breaks my heart. Psalms 46 is popping on my heart. Teaching me NOT to fear, and worry.God bless you above ALL you can ask or even think.Ephesians 3:20

[@joshuaquiah4566]

Dr Tony Evans is greatly missed. I can't wait to see him preaching Christ again. Sending you all much love

[@t.lalloyd2100]

I've checked constantly for an update on how your dad is doing. Miss him, almost like losing my own dad twice. Thank you for standing firm. 🧡

[@blackcherry6877]

Dr. Evans is still alive and his sermons are still available online.

[@greeneggslamb9336]

He's not lost!

[@dreamteamleader9098]

@t.lalloyd2100 after covid shut the churches down the pastor that I had been under for 23 years never returned. Broke my heart in a million pieces and I'm still asking God to heal me because of that. 🙏🏾No explanation no goodbye or anything he just didn't return😢 I thank God for Tony Evans because I've learned a lot attending online not as much as I'd like to lately because he preached about needing to be in the house needing the body being active. So I had to go find a spot to be present. He is a Man of integrity for him to explain to his congregation that he's stepping back so you have all the hope of his return praise the Lord! I still listen to the podcast on Spotify as well. He's still teaching, teaching from history as he would say😂 Blessings to you and yours ❤

[@jayedee8382]

Even in Dr. Evan’s stepping down, Tony Evans is still teaching us through the application of Scripture.

[@rosesmith4318]

He is a hypocrite

[@saraharmendariz]

⁠@@rosesmith4318Not sure why you think Pastor Evans is and everyone else is not? Just because his life is more under a microscope for others to see, there are many who would never even boldly admit there faults much less make it public. Might need to check the log… As my other Pastor once said, “We’re ALL hypocrites, join the club!” In other words we ALL fall short of the glory of God, which is why we ALL need Jesus. Everything comes down to the intentions of the heart- which God already knows.

[@todayslist37737]

​@@rosesmith4318He's a human.

[@Grateful6395]

I honor a man who can not just admit his wrong , but does something about it. Dr Evans is a great example for all of us when we fall short of the glory of God.

[@maryjoy5433]

How was he wrong?

[@motivation4u]

Your parents raised you guys well! Dr. Evans will be back

[@teresa28ist]

I agree

[@patricialawrence4]

He is right there ,Dr.evans son even wen he is silent he is there.Amen.

[@tmmclaurin]

I have learned a lot through Dr. Tony Evans’ ministry. I miss his teachings and pray for him. ❤

[@cmax9630]

I will wait I will wait for Dr. Evans he has been a great influence through CHRIST JESUS in my life. His preaching has helped me through may hard times. I know he has been going through too and I will keep praying and waiting. We all love this man of GOD. Thank you Johnathon you are also a comfort to us.❤

[@mameafrane1725]

We love him. He will be ok. Enjoy the holidays with your Dad and family ok. No one is perfect. Your mom being gone took a role on him so it’s hard for him. Just know that we love you guys. Tell pastor Evan’s we love him. ❤

[@eugenepearson4467]

Your dad has been a spokesman for truth in the 35 years that I've been following Jesus. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and condolences in the absence of your mother.

[@karenyu7900]

I came to OCF thru Dr. Evan’s preaching, but I learn from your messages as well. Praying for protection for all of you who speak the truth.

[@yolandagarza4126]

The teachings of your dad brought me through many times. The Lord gifted your dad in this area. I know the enemy just wanted him to fall. I pray he will be restored.

[@austin27lj]

We love the Evan’s family! ❤

[@queenramotsehoa738]

The Lord is OUR SHEPERD❤

[@gerigeri111]

Dr. Eva 's teaching helped me through the COVID -19 period...him a d Dr. Charles Stanley....really turned me on to the Word. No matter what, remember "it is well" Dr. Evans and family.

[@sewfun196]

I trust God is with me in every step of 'struggle'. It's been a very challenging year of health surprises for me and my family. I pray for peace, strength and courage to get through! I pray for Jonathan, Dr. Tony and family! I need to hear God's message through you!

[@gail9164]

Dr. Tony Evans is a man of God, who is useful to the Kingdom. I pray for him often.

[@reader6690]

Thank you so much! In 2024, me and spouse diagnosed with horrific diseases, and, next year, I am being laid off. Your words, pointing to God's Word, are a blessing.

[@mikenixon2401]

Thank you for stepping up Jonathan, as a true Man of God. You did a fine job addressing what needed to be said and offered hope and promise all to the glory of God, through our Savior. May His Holy Spirit envelope your entire family as we transition from one year to another. One life chapter to another. All is new.

[@marybenoit6375]

I really needed this. Can’t wait for reconciliation between my only child and myself, God is in control.❤

[@teach4him2]

I am praying for you, and your entire family!

[@dianr3654]

Thanks for reminding me of Psalms 46. As we are going through a difficult time, we will remain still, trusting in God's strength and His help.

[@nataliewilkinson8347]

I just recently discovered your dad's teachings. All I can say is Wow. Double anointed.

[@nursemom7724]

Oh! AMEN, Brother! It reminds me of the truth in the lyrics of one of my favorite Christian songs: Come and see the promises He's kept The grace in every step The strength that came when I was weak Come and see through all the deepest pain A life that's been sustained The way He's made a way for me

[@sharonphillips6060]

Thank you Pastor Jonathan for this timely word! May God continue to bless your family and ministry!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@thomassmith1709]

We as men want to fix the issue NOW! Patience, waiting and trusting God can sometimes be very difficult. Prayers for our marriage 😢

[@patricialawrence4]

Amen he is making you stronger.you don't need to fear just trust his heart.

[@texasdee2151]

Thank you Jesus for the Spirit That moved Johnathan Evans to minister to me/us today. I really needed a WORD, especially regarding Dr Evans...Blessings🙏🙏

[@lisadee6317]

You and your family have endured and persevered through sooooooo many losses in such a short period of time." BUT GOD!" Thanks for being so transparent God bless you and your family

[@shirleymanuel5585]

Oh, Jonathan! Both my pastor husband and I needed this Word! We are suffering, physically, and have been for years. God has spoken to us to take a step of faith, and resign our current pastorate. He just wants us to do this, in faith, fully trusting in Him, for healing and provision. We do not know where we are headed, but simply trusting and standing still. Such a confirming Word for us. Thanks so much!

[@leahbrooks1270]

We are all lifting up your family and your dad in prayer . Let me just say I honestly have even more respect for him for the way he has handled all this.

[@teresa28ist]

Yes!! A lot of Pastors do not step down.

[@TriciaPerry-mz7tc]

Well if you repent and ask God A you don't need to step down unless you're continuing in sins. People in church pastors do not KNOW what they are doing in AMERICA!! MANY ARE CAUSING people to fsll.and speaking evil to these people in this nation

[@kimberlyhughes6807]

I felt like the floor fell out from under me when I heard about Dr. Evans. I have been listening to him for a long time. I was in Texas about 10 years and visit his church . It was such a blessing. Thank you, Jonathan, for this encouraging message. I am praying for your dad and you and your whole family. Thank you for the Ps 46 reminder!

[@PreciousPamphile]

Thanks first time watching you but love your sister’s and father. Sorry about your moms passing beloved I too lost both parents so as a chronically ill and disable person!!! I truly need this today❤!!! Keep shining your light on others

[@go2yourself]

God confidence vs human arrogance, that's a message in itself 😊 thank you Pastor Jonathan

[@ednajuran8247]

❤That's right! He is Very Present 😊

[@toinspirewithdenise5285]

Preach, my brother! What an awesome message!! This is a Word, well needed! Yahweh's Word will "fix" it...when my Mother passed, He told me, l do All things well. How that touched my soul!!!!! Enjoyed the encouragement! 🙏 🙏

[@Sisterbettyjo9179]

[@olgamedina7041]

Miss pastor Tony Evans. Looking forward for his return!!!!

[@joyceblackwood9335]

Thank you Jonathan for this message.

[@rbutler64]

I am greatly encouraged by your message Jonathan. There's a huge change in my workplace. It's rocked my world and I'm dealing with angry emotions. Thank you for sharing Psalm 46. I will meditate on it. And I will take refuge in God when I want to be the chaos that has been thrown at me.

[@niecybaby1960]

Wow! I really needed to hear this. Sometimes it feels like a dark hole I’m about to fall in. Never imagine being this age and so unstable but here I am. If there’s one thing I’m glad of it’s that I know Jesus. Thank you Sir.

[@Kim-ps6tb]

I have never heard of you. Pastor Jonathan but l stumbled on your video/ message and l must say that " The Lord Bless you, tremendously ." You have ministered to me. I will share this wonderful message to others.

[@melanieharris5595]

Our only strength is found in the WORD of God (Bible) and a daily total relationship with JESUS.

[@TriciaPerry-mz7tc]

Pray for me. I am older and ho!y ghost @16. I was fool for real. God PLEASE I didn't mean to be greedyand put things before HIM GOD helped us and I was well blessed and I let a lot pull Me speaking awful. God please you all pray for me.

[@Li-Anderson]

Oh this is good!🥹Thank you, Jonathan for your obedience.🙏 This word Blessed me and your tone gave me reassurance of God's presence in this season.🥹🤍 Blessings Always🙏

[@samanthamorris1776]

Thank you so much for this word given in due season. Right now is a very trying time for me and my family. My dad is suffering from colon cancer. He is constantly in pain and it's being managed by strong painkillers. He also has had 4 stokes. When he is in pain I feel so helpless to help him. I constantly think of the day he isn't here anymore and I struggle. He is believer and I know where he is going. Father God please give me strength. This has really helped. I will keep on listening to this message. Thank you!

[@mrsheatherteske]

Just said a prayer for you and family 🙏🏽

[@hsylvia4854]

Thank-you for this message, I find comfort in it and God as I received health news about dealing with Endometriosis, I pray and trust in the Lord to heal me. Thank you❤️

[@katevans4616]

Meant to write " but the pop up ads won't deter me."

[@Raq1.6576]

I heard of your family first through Priscilla your sister. Later, hearing your dad’s sermons. What a beautiful blessing of a family that has brought a lot of encouragement from the Lord.

[@deshajames2224]

Great word and very true, pastor Evans has been a blessing to me over the last years and I truly appreciate him. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family.🇹🇹

[@user-ig3wu2by8i]

Pastor Tony Evans is a legend God has blessed him to preach/teach in a way that has helped me to learn, grow and love God more. I miss him more than words can say. But He is a man of God and guide will direct him what to do and when to do it. In the meantime time I thank God for Dr Evans because his ministry continues to provide a place to go to. His sermons, books etc are still resources for maturation and strength. I pray for Dr Evans and his family as they grow through this time.

[@beverleybrangman2191]

This family and ministry is new to me, but I LOVE your Loyalty to your dad. None of us is perfect, but in my family, folks get a big stick and bash when we disappoint them., like the slave owners did us long ago. What an example of grace, mercy, gentleness and LOVE? Thank you, for demonstrating such kindness.May the GRACE of GOD sustain you and your family and congregation, and bring Glory to GOD. You are teaching me a better way okay

[@love100057]

[@BornagainKim]

This has encouraged me today, we all have different battles but we are fight the same devil. God is our refugee, thank you for fighting for us. 🙏🏾 ❤

[@readingthewordoflife4645]

Your father is a wonderful example, and your siblings and yourself, with family is a staple of Godly Humility and preservation to God's truth. I love you all no matter what because even in failure there is a purity in how it's handled and I am glad to know you can be authentic in it all. Love this family. God's continued blessings 🙌 🙏 ✨️

[@alisaflakes6823]

Thank you! Very powerful message

[@Neenja7]

"...Putting our heart on a leash and letting it catch up to the truth that we know" Wow!!🤯

[@jerishipp-flutyfox]

Jonathan, your message was on time and I will remember Psalm 46, which I love, as God’s resumé. Thank you for your heart-felt message which will encourage many including me. I continue to pray for OCBF. The training of your dad is present in you and his legacy will carry on through you. Your dad has been a blessing to millions of people and I am one who followed him and you faithfully. God has a plan for you and dad and He will bring it to fruition. Be encouraged and continue to stand strong. Be still and know that He is God and an ever present help in trouble.

[@prayerisimportant]

Glory! 🙌

[@todayslist37737]

God used a voice on the radio to call me to Him. I found that voice belonged to Tony Evans. I almost memorized every sermon he had out. Satan has worked overtime since then to get Dr. Evans off the pulpit.

[@Vietnam_Era_Veteran]

I'm so grateful of having the opportunity to attend and be a part of the Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship ministry when I lived in Oak Cliff, TX from 1981 - 1984. Dr. Evans hasn't changed his style of teaching since the late 70s thru the day he stepped down and why should he...he has perfected it!

[@godsewn1]

I appreciate your faithfulness Jonathan ❤ God bless You & Family

[@lisamorris2725]

I've grown from Dr. Evans ministry many years. I hope he comes back soon. People should be very careful what they say about a man of God.

[@gracegirl6635]
