I had been looking forward to my day off for a while. With all the morning chores completed, I decided it was time for a little – me time. I said goodbye to the kids and ventured off rollerblading. I changed my route to avoid any challenging spots and just took it easy, enjoying the sunshine and the chance to relax and do whatever came next. That was until I fell.

“Because the Lord had made them joyful…” Ezra 6:22a

God cares about every single detail of your life. As the old saying goes, “When one door closes, another opens.” Kelvin and his wife, Lorie, were faced with the deep grief of a miscarriage and loss of another friend on April 16, 2005. As they were working through their sorrow, the Lord showed up with a miraculous and perfectly timed gift exactly one year later, on Easter, April 16, 2006. Tune in to find out what happened!Kelvin Thiessen is the Director of Admissions at Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun, SK. He is married to Lorie and they have four children, John Calvin, Janessa, David, and Caleb. He spent his childhood in Roseau River, Manitoba, the youngest child of John and Rose Thiessen.

The pattern of life with Yahweh is pretty consistent. He is predictable in His life with us. That may sound crazy with all of the unexpected things that happen, but let’s pause and take a step back to gain a broader perspective for a moment.

Brad and his sister Marcia were close as kids. As they grew older, God led each of them into Christian service. This meant they lived far from one another and led busy lives which made it difficult to stay connected. Despite this, every time they were together, they were able to pick up where they left off. In the midst of raising four adopted children and supporting her husband in pastoral ministry, Marcia was diagnosed with cancer. The following years were deeply painful and tragic as Marcia fought to live but ultimately lost the battle to cancer. In this episode, Marcia’s brother Brad shares about his family’s journey to Marcia’s funeral and how God’s provisions along the way provided not only evidence of His goodness in an hour of darkness, but hope as he continued to process a complicated grief afterwards. Are you on a journey with tragedy and grief that feels…

An elderly lady approached me one Sunday morning at church. She had a weathered look from years of suffering on her face. She spoke strongly and almost seemed stern most times, but there was something intriguing about her. There was a softness under that hard exterior; one that exuded wisdom and closeness with Christ.
