About the author
Albert Tate is the founding and lead pastor of Fellowship Church in Los Angeles County California. He began his ministry pastoring just a few families at Sweet Home Church in Mississippi before serving the historic Lake Avenue Church in Pasadena, California. Hearing the call from God to plant a church, Albert and his wife, LaRosa, launched Fellowship Church in January 2012. In its short history, this gospel-centered, multiethnic, intergenerational church has already established a solid foothold in the region to the glory, honor, and transformational power of Christ. As a dynamic communicator, Albert is passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ both locally and globally. He serves on the Board of Trustees at Azusa Pacific University, the Global Leadership Network, and Global Church Planting Organization, Stadia. Albert is the Founder and CEO of The Greatest Story, Inc, and President of Harambee Ministries. He recently published his first book entitled, "How We Love Matters: A Call to Practice Relentless Racial Reconciliation". Albert is the proud father of four children: Zoe, Bethany, Isaac, and Micah.
“I am so grateful to personally know Albert Tate, he is a brilliant mind and I can't think of a better person to write this book. "Disobedient God" is a moving work that I believe will help so many people experiencing immense disappointment and pain in life while working through their walk with God. I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book and be encouraged by the words of my dear friend.”

“I’ve asked God to save our child’s life, only to suffer the miscarriage. I’ve asked him to protect me from evil doers, only to experience betrayal. And I’ve prayed so many times for a loved one’s healing, only to be tasked with preaching their funeral. God’s been “disobedient” with me. If you’ve ever been disappointed with this Disobedient God, then I could not possibly commend this book enough to you.”
Dr. Bryan Loritts
“Even a glance at the stories of Scriptures reveals its characters, time and time again, battling sudden disappointment, unforeseen shock, and constant uncertainty. This happens so much that one begins to conclude that these occurrences must be part of a greater purpose to wed ourselves not only to a God who is faithful and kind in the good times, but also to one who is just as faithful and kind in the bad. With a writer’s pen and a pastor’s heart, Albert gives us direction for the journey ahead of us—when God goes off script. This is the book we need in times like these.”
