Faith in the Firestorm: Nancy’s Lament During Her Own Storm

We begin a brand-new series this week on So What? And it’s one that couldn’t come too soon, especially after the harsh year we’ve experienced around the globe: we’re talking about how to walk through a season where our faith is tested by extreme circumstances, and how we can come out on the other side. Nancy vulnerably shares about her own faith firestorm, one that she and her family have unthinkably found themselves in: Nancy’s 28-year-old son David, a student pursuing law and public policy at Harvard, has been battling Stage IV colon cancer for two years. Nancy turns to the book of Lamentations and a few moments with Jesus to remind us that lamenting is an integral part of our faith experience, and why exploring our questions and doubts is so important to our journey. She guides us through four actionable steps that have helped her as she moves through her own faith firestorm, and reminds us that our faith isn’t tied to an outcome—it’s tied to a Someone. And no matter what happens to us, God is still so, so good.
