Norman shares his personal journey through his wife's cancer diagnosis and how it reshaped his understanding of faith, prayer, and discouragement. Discover the importance of lament in the Christian life, how to pray when you don't have the words, and how moments of deep struggle can become profound encounters with Jesus. This conversation offers solace and guidance for Christians navigating difficult seasons, emphasizing that wrestling with God is a vital part of a genuine faith.
Go deeper: Faith and Mental Health
Thinking Christian is hosted by Dr. James Spencer, president of the D. L. Moody Center and author of Digital Discernment (InterVarsity Press). Each conversation reads the Bible as the final authority for life and faith, questioning the assumptions of our culture, even our Christian culture, so that we don't settle for a narrower vision than God's word offers.
Unsettling convention. Cultivating conviction.
