John Fox - If God Loves Me Why Can't I Get Out Of Bed?
God upholds all Creation in a wonderful whole - but how does He uphold you when it hurts? He promises peace but how do I hold on to Peace Now, when life is far from perfect? How do we maintain a life giving faith, and a life giving community, in the middle of difficulties? As a disabled person, John will speak from Scripture and his own experience about holding on to your peace when you feel far from peaceful.
