“A brain tumor revealed not only the distractions of life but the brevity of it. It intensified and accelerated my faith, and in doing so, I was faced with questions I hadn’t given much thought to. Did I really believe? What did I believe? Was I living out my belief? I couldn’t stay sleeping anymore. I had to wake up and seize my faith.” Sheri Walker, Strong, From Here to Eternity
C.S. Lewis said, “You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.”
Take the challenge to be stronger and change your ending.
Sheri Walker explores biblical concepts of “strong” through life stories and scriptural truths. She provides new perspectives and practical approaches for a strong faith walk, as seen through a lens of our final destination into Eternity.
“The call startles me at nine pm. It’s Sarah. An all-familiar knot of dread starts to form. She knows I’m usually asleep by now. I answer the phone, hear my daughter crying, and hold my breath, long enough to prepare myself for the awful, whatever the awful might be. The awful is out there just waiting to bring me down.”
Fear. Control. Anger. Perfectionism. Comfort. Shame. How do we balance the gift of feelings with the necessary task to restrain them in order to live godly lives? How do we interpret and filter difficult circumstances through God’s Word? Finally, how do seemingly good ideas like kindness, acceptance, authenticity, and love become corrupted in culture and how are we to respond?
In Challenged, Sheri explores all three categories: emotions, circumstances, and culture as potential threats to a strong walk of faith. She filters each through real life stories, lessons learned, and the truths of the Word. She provides new perspectives and practical approaches to grow your own strong faith walk.
