15,000 People Came To My Daughters Funeral, She's a Hero // How Do You Move Forward After Tragedy?

About this sermon

At 4:30 AM, I received a knock on my door that shattered my world. My daughter, Rose, had dedicated her life to something greater than herself, standing strong in the face of unimaginable adversity. Her journey—from a joyful, creative child to a determined Israeli soldier—was one of courage, faith, and unwavering commitment. Rose knew from the age of eight that she would serve in Israel, leaving behind the comforts of America to follow a calling she believed in with all her heart. She fought against hatred, stood up for what was right, and protected those around her with extraordinary bravery. On October 7th, she made a choice—to defend her home, her people, and her faith. And in doing so, she saved lives. Her legacy lives on in the thousands of lives she touched, the people who gathered to honor her, and the mission she left behind. We do not choose our challenges, but we choose how we face them. Rose chose love over hate, purpose over fear. Join us in keeping her story alive. 🔗 Take Action Now: ✅ Support the Lawfare Project: https://www.thelawfareproject.org/ ✅ Sign the End Jew Hatred Petition: https://bonhoeffer.org/ ✅ Plant a Tree in Israel – Forest of Life: https://eagleswings.org/forest/ ✅ Donate to Feed Hungry Families in Israel: https://eagleswings.org/abrahams-bread/ Video Chapters (Timestamped for Engagement) 0:00 – A Knock That Changed Everything 0:21 – Standing Together: Solidarity Sunday 2025 1:09 – How Do You Move Forward After Tragedy? 2:31 – The Life of Rose: A Childhood Full of Dreams 5:37 – From Dreams to Duty: Rose’s Path to the IDF 9:40 – The Mission That Defined Her Life 13:07 – The Battle for Survival: October 7th, 2025 18:22 – A Hero’s Sacrifice in the Face of Evil 21:14 – A Nation’s Grief and a Community’s Strength 24:09 – Choosing Love Over Hate: The Lesson We Carry Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertrstearns/ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertrstearns/ Don't forget to PUSH THE BELL to get NOTIFICATIONS of new and upcoming videos.
