Face The Storm

Timberline Church Keynote Speaker

I had the honor of sharing my story with the people of Timberline Church. Persevering through loss is only a small part of the equation. What you do with that knowledge is where you have the greatest impact.

Learning to persevere, create character I didn't have previously, and rebuild hope has made a huge difference in my life, but sharing it allows that impact to grow.

I have been able to walk many people through loss, through their storms. There is a Chinese proverb: If you want to know the road ahead, ask those coming back. I didn't do that for so long, I suffered in isolation.

Eventually I learned that the most courageous thing you can say is help. I now consider myself one of those that is coming back down the path. What an amazing and unexpected outcome of this journey of weathering my storms.

Thank you again TImberline Church for letting me share my story.

Watch the full message. Craig’s sermon, “Face of the Storm,” was delivered at Timberline Church. It is a good look at how he speaks to a faith community about loss, perseverance, and hope.
