What do you do when you believe God is good… but life doesn’t feel like it?
12-14 May 2026 Online
God is Good — Even Now is a free 3-day summit for anyone whose real life has made God’s goodness and faithfulness harder to see — and who isn’t ready to stop believing it.
real life has a way of changing your relationship with God - whether you wanted it to or not.
You didn’t plan for it to feel this way. But somewhere along the way the tension between what you believe and what you’re living got harder to carry.
Showing up started feeling hollow. Scripture started feeling distant. And the faith that used to feel solid started feeling like something you’re not sure how to find your way back to.
Maybe you’re still showing up — but privately wondering how much longer you can keep holding everything together.
You still believe God is supposed to be good. You just can’t see it through the mess of real life.
This summit was made for exactly where you are.

This is what becomes possible when you can see God’s goodness through the mess again.
You find a faith that can actually hold what you’ve been through — not despite the hard things but because of an honest reckoning with them.
And you discover you were never meant to carry this alone.
You start to see God’s goodness again — not as a platitude but as something real enough to trust in the middle of your actual life.
That’s not wishful thinking.
That’s what this summit is built to do.
meet your host
I’m Sarah Howley. I’m an author, speaker, trained Christian counselor, and founder of InspiritEncourage.
My own faith has been strengthened by doubt, and that has made me passionate about helping people grow in a deeper relationship with Christ while navigating the very real tensions of life, faith, and Scripture.
The goal of my work is create a space where everyone in the body of Christ is encouraged to ask honest questions while discovering the great love of God and his trustworthiness.
And just so you know a little about me as a human… if it’s before 2pm, there’s almost always a shot of espresso in my hand.

God Is Good - Even Now runs May 12-14 and is entirely virtual — join from anywhere in the world with internet access. Presentations are pre-recorded and released daily, with 48-hour access on your free ticket so you can watch at your own pace.
Private Community
Join our space to wrestle well together, ask real questions, and remain rooted in God’s character. It’s a place to belong without pretending everything is good.
Expert Sessions
Step into 15 sessions led by authors and podcasters who will guide you through difficult Scripture, unanswered prayers, loss, and the real-life questions that make God’s goodness hard to understand. Each session is available for 48 hours, so you can move through them at your own pace.
Intentional prayer spaces
A guided prayer session where you’re invited to pause, reflect, and bring what’s on your heart before God—without pressure to say anything out loud. You’re welcome to follow along quietly or share in the chat as you feel led.
Upgrade for a VIP experience
Upgrade to the Deep Journey Pass for extended access, guided reflection materials, and additional sessions designed to help the work of this summit take root beyond the event itself.
This isn’t a motivational Christian event or a tidy biblical conference.
It is a thoughtful, Scripture-rooted inquiry into the goodness and faithfulness of God — designed for believers who are living inside real tension and want a deeper confidence in God’s goodness that quiets self-doubt and steadies trust in the middle of life’s mess.
We don’t avoid the difficult texts. We don’t rush toward neat conclusions. We refuse to treat hardship or doubt as evidence of spiritual failure. We trace God’s goodness carefully through the whole story of Scripture — Old and New Testament — and create intentional space to reflect, wrestle, and remain.
Through thoughtful teaching, guided prayer focused on God’s character, and honest conversation in a private community, this gathering moves beyond content consumption. It invites formation.
We believe exploring the goodness of God happens best in a community that reflects the breadth of the body of Christ. This summit intentionally welcomes speakers and participants from a wide range of backgrounds, identities, and faith journeys. Some aspects of our lives and experiences are visible, while others are not — and we are committed to honoring both with equal dignity.
This is not about making sense of everything about the Bible or about God.
It’s about living steadier and feeling less burdened by spiritual pressure and more anchored in the goodness of God.
you’ve been carrying this for long enough.
