Does God have a hope to offer us in times of pain? Can God meet and sustain us even if our circumstances don't improve?
One of the few guarantees in life is that we will suffer. Everything around us is broken. Each of us has an expiration date. A few years ago, Eric and his wife, Elizabeth, together with their young children, were confronted with this unavoidable reality when she was faced with a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Shattered by grief, they began to wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus when everything around them seemed to be giving way. What this pastor and his wife discovered were a set of truths about God from Scripture that provided the resources they needed to survive—truths too often neglected by the modern world. God meets us in our grief, but not always in ways we expect or even want.
Coming from that jumbled place of agony and assurance, Either Way, We'll Be All Right is a journey through the darkness in hopes of discovering light on the other side. When pain is a weight choking our breath . . .
When suffering is a gaping wound in our chests . . .
When grief is a shapeless darkness against which we helplessly flail . . .
What does it mean to walk with God?
What does it mean to come to God?
