We’re kicking off a new series today called “God Behind the Scenes,” which explores various unfiltered, non-highlight reels, and even messy stories of ordinary people paired with extraordinary and perfect God. 

Isaiah 45:15 in the Message translation states, “Clearly, You are a God who works behind the scenes, God of Israel, Savior God.” Whether it’s through the book of Isaiah or the book of Esther where God’s name is not even explicitly mentioned but He is all over the stories in the book: ordaining, fine-tuning, and showing up to meet the needs of His people.

Get ready, because Daniel and Meylia Kurnianto are sharing their stories today. They are the founders of BOSTempeh, a tempeh manufacturing company, and dear friends of mine with whom I have the joy of sharing the same home church, Boston City Blessing Church. By God’s grace, BOSTempeh has reached many people throughout the United States and their work has been featured in Bon Appetit magazine, VOA Indonesia, and others. As we know, this success doesn’t come without any pain, sacrifice, and even failure.

So, let’s pause and remind ourselves again that no matter what circumstances we are going through, no matter what behind-the-scenes moment we are facing right now, God is still at work. He will not leave you or forsake you. He is faithful to fulfill His promise. 

Pop in those earbuds, reheat your coffee, and join me in my chat with Daniel and Meylia.
