Finding Hope When Life Falls Apart – Vaneetha Rendall Risner

How do we move forward when everything around us is crumbling? How do we hold on to hope?

Drawing from her experience of losing an infant son, losing her marriage, and being diagnosed with a debilitating disease, Vaneetha Rendall Risner shares questions she asked God in suffering, the beautiful ways God answered her, and the three anchors that have given her hope and grounded her faith.
