Manage episode 428293085 series 3358677
What does it take to spread the gospel in a community entrenched in witchcraft and New Age practices? Join us for an inspiring conversation with David Libby, a logger from Maine whose devotion to God compels him to build a small church in one of the most spiritually challenging areas. David shares his compelling journey and underscores why a transcendent God is essential for grounding morality and rationality. He also discusses how his love for philosophy leads him to the divine, highlighting the shortcomings of humanist philosophies and the unique need for the God of the Bible as the cornerstone of truth and knowledge.
Facing the harsh realities of chronic illness, David and his family have endured immense physical and emotional suffering due to Lyme disease. We explore how these trials have impacted their faith, revealing the profound ways suffering can deepen one's relationship with God. Personal stories illuminate the belief that illness provides unique opportunities for spiritual growth and ministry, challenging the notion that suffering disqualifies someone from God's work. We also delve into the themes of hope and prayer, and discuss David's book, "A Different World," which further explores finding purpose and meaning in pain. Don't miss this heartfelt episode that promises to uplift and encourage, proving that even in the darkest times, faith can illuminate the path forward.
