Manage episode 492526814 series 2534897
Do you believe that God is good? That He really has your best interests in mind? In this special message guest speaker, Ryan Ingram, addresses this vital topic as he interviews his mom Theresa. She shares her inspiring testimony of becoming a Christian, and how she navigated through painful circumstances by trusting in the unfailing goodness of God.
Main Points
From Despair to Deliverance:
Theresa's early life was marked by loneliness and a dysfunctional family. Her dreams were shattered when her husband abandoned her and their twin infant sons. Feeling "left with nothing," she found hope through a godly boss and, at 25, accepted Jesus as her Savior.
Finding Refuge and Intimacy in Christ:
Supported by others, Theresa learned to love God's Word and prayer. She experienced God's consistent presence through unexpected help and answered prayers, including her marriage to Chip. Ryan highlights his mother's deep devotion to prayer, an intimacy born from desperation. Theresa's life serves as a testament to Romans 8:28, proving that God works all things for good.
