God spared my family of eight members many times. There were two tornadoes, a flood, a power takeoff shaft, two cases of internal bleeding, two fires, a rare disease, terminal cancer, car accidents, and many things that drove me to my knees. God allowed all these trials to bring brokenness that I might become a Christian. I wanted change that I might walk in Gods ways. God really spoke through his Word. He allowed many trials to change me. God took me through so much scripture. There is great power in his Word. He will show you through his Word what he wants to change. He wants obedience. He has taken me through many trials until I went around Jericho without a word. You cant grumble or complain. If you complain, youre telling God he cant do it. I love to tell the story of what God does for me. I love to walk with him. He wants us to be an encourager to people and to show forth his love. Share the Word with them. There are hurting people everywhere.

With tears running down her face and engulfed by disillusion, Marie walked down a long hall toward a room with a steel door and one small window. The walls within were cement and in the center of the room lay a mattress. She was asked to lie down so that she could be put in restraints; restraints that would protect her from herself. This mountain before Marie was enormous, and her faith was miniscule. She was trapped in a place where no light could enter. Confusion was her companion, and fear had paralyzed her mind. Forced to deal with harrowing experiences, this tumultuous journey led Marie down a path of trauma and brokenness. Her life was filled with tragedy, misfortune, and impossible circumstances. Marie had to go beyond intellectual reasoning and put her trust in God alone for guidance. God became her counselor, comforter, and touched her heart with his love. As Marie bares her soul and shares her story, you will get a glimpse into the heart of God and bear witness to the power he has to transform a life.

Whether our notions of ‘god’ are personal projections or inherited traditions, author and theologian Brad Jersak proposes a radical reassessment, arguing for A More Christlike God: a More Beautiful Gospel. If Christ is “the image of the invisible God, the radiance of God’s glory and exact representation of God’s likeness,” what if we conceived of God as completely Christlike—the perfect Incarnation of self-giving, radically forgiving, co-suffering love? What if God has always been and forever will be ‘cruciform’ (cross-shaped) in his character and actions? A More Christlike God suggests that such a God would be very good news indeed—a God who Jesus “unwrathed” from dead religion, a Love that is always toward us, and a Grace that pours into this suffering world through willing, human partners.
