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

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.
