About this sermon
"Where are you, God, in all of this?" When Dave VanVickle and his wife, Amber, dreamed of having a large family, they expected the beautiful, joyful chaos of raising children. They didn't expect that three of their five children would face severe medical crises or lifelong disabilities. And they certainly did not expect that Amber would be diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, leaving Dave to prepare his best friend and the mother of his children for her eternal home. In this deeply moving testimony, Dave shares his family’s journey through the "valley of tears." From a son with cerebral palsy, to a daughter surviving a massive stroke, to his wife's courageous battle with cancer, Dave addresses the ultimate question we all face in times of suffering: How do you keep your faith when your world is falling apart? If you are carrying a heavy cross right now and wondering where God is, Dave’s message is a powerful reminder that Christ is not a distant spectator watching your pain from the clouds. He is right there with you, on the other side of the cross you bear. ❓ Have ideas for future videos ❓ Topics you want to hear about ❓ Questions you want answered ❓ Make sure to put #AskAscension in your comment 👍 — MORE FROM ASCENSION — 🔸Ascension App: https://link.ascension-app.com/lMuydd... 🔸The Great Adventure Bible: https://tinyurl.com/y6lfxzyt 🔸 Catechism of the Catholic Church, Ascension Edition: https://tinyurl.com/25nskztb — SOCIAL MEDIA — 🔸Facebook: / ascensionpress 🔸Twitter: / ascensionpress 🔸LinkedIn: / ascension-press 🔸Instagram: / ascensionpress 🔸Subscribe: @AscensionPresents
