In this Outside of Sunday Christa and Laura reflect on Therina Oliver’s powerful testimony of walking through breast cancer, and then Leukaemia with her son. They unpack how Therina’s own suffering became a profound way God prepared Matthew for his journey. Delving into thoughts around Jesus keeping His scars
Along the way, Christa and Laura also touch on marriage drifting into “flat-mate zone”, learning to pray for God’s will, and what it means to be moulded in God’s hands when the outcome is unknown. This is an honest, hope-filled reflection on trusting the God who chose to step into poverty, pain and brokenness for us and who continues to meet us right in the middle of ours.
