Adam Ormord joins Beth and David Booram from Fall Creek Abbey in Indianapolis, Indiana as they talk about a deeply personal experience with suffering.
Suffering is unavoidable, yet, if we allow God to move into this space with us, great transformation often comes through our suffering. We can experience a deeper awareness of the closeness and goodness of God, and a joy that settles, even in pain.
Celebrating ten years of ministering at their retreat center, Beth and Dave share how God gave them the vision for Fall Creek Abbey. After years of ministering in a large church context, the Boorams encountered suffering as the catalyst for a new ministry and season of life.
Currently, their family is encountering the pain of their granddaughter's battle with leukemia as well as the recent loss of Dave’s mother.
Be encouraged by the honesty and gentle compassion we receive from one another, a gift from God, when we come to Him right where we are.
