With You: God’s Promise of Presence in Life’s Darkest Moments

With You is the breathtaking true story of Joel Rogers—minister, husband, father—who collapsed in the middle of a Christmas outreach and flatlined five times in twenty-four hours. Told he had less than a 5% chance of survival, Joel’s body shut down, but his spirit held fast to one unshakable truth: God is with us—even here.

Through impossible medical odds, agonizing setbacks, and months of painful recovery, Joel discovered a deeper promise than prosperity or healing: the abiding presence of God in the midst of life’s most brutal seasons.

Part memoir, part meditation, With You is for anyone who has ever asked, “Where is God now?” It is an invitation to wrestle honestly with suffering— and to find the sacred in the struggle.

Raw. Hopeful. Life-giving. This is not just a survival story. It is a story of surrender, faith redefined, and the quiet power of presence.
