“God whispers in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” - C.S. Lewis.

Jackie Newell, from our community group in Tupelo, Mississippi, grew up in church and knew from an early age that Jesus was her Savior. However, it wasn’t until she experienced devastating tragedy and loss that God became real to her as she immersed herself in Scripture and was faced with the fact that she either believed God’s Word or she didn’t. Jackie’s unwavering faith in a Father Who shines brightest in our darkest places will encourage you to look for God’s presence and see life from an eternal perspective.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN:

- It is important to remember in the darkest moments of life what you believed in the light.

- In tragedy, you can either wallow in your loss or believe God has something for your future.

- God did not give you a spirit of fear - He has called you to a life of freedom!
