thoughtful, faithful minister of the gospel whose wise words and winsome
ways encourage others to follow more closely a God who loves and leads,

Borne It Well is a well-spring for a life lived well unto God and for the good

“Greg Funderburk offers us practical wisdom we need to live well, especially
in the midst of COVID-19 and its effects. The year 2020 caused
tremendous disruptions and resulted in profound discouragement, yet in
the midst of turbulent times Funderburk points to the God who holds the

A beautiful set of reflections to help us bear this turbulence well.”
