Turning Awful Into Amazing: Laurie Brooker's Story :: [Episode 339]

Life can change in an instant. And, in that moment, the illusion of control can either take you down a path of fear and worry or a path of surrender and peace.

In today's podcast, Laurie Brooker, from our community group in Trussville, Alabama, shares her story of how the Lord guided her to trust His sovereign plan as He strengthened and upheld her through the loss of her husband and a cancer diagnosis of her own (all in the same year). Laurie will courageously remind you that while life can sometimes place unwanted titles on you, God can bring joy out of the pain and goodness into your story.

Verse of the Week:

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Challenge of the Week:

Laurie spoke often of how her community surrounded her in the suffering her family was experiencing. What can you do for someone who is struggling this week? Be the hands and feet of Christ to them!
