Welcome to middays.

This is Susie Larson.

Thanks so much for joining me today.

Well, we have a unique show for you.

For the first half hour, we are going to re-air a conversation I had with pastor and author Craig Groschelle.

We talked about his book, Hope in the Dark, Believing God is good when life is not then in the second half hour of the show

I'll be joined by my good friend Julie Nelson she's one of the evening news anchors on

caro levin here in the Twin Cities area just share about an amazing faith story being told

tonight on tonight's broadcast about a man who miraculously survived a bear attack on a

hiking trip a few months ago this is is truly a cannot miss story. First,

let's listen to my conversation with Craig Groschelle. You know this because many, many are walking

through storms. If you don't aren't walking through a storm yourself, you love somebody who is.

My young sister, my younger baby sister, a couple years ago, her husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

She's only in her 40s, and she kept saying, I'm too young to be a widow.

Well, now she's been a widow for two years, and I've watched God all over her.

I mean, grief is so unbelievable, but I've asked her, what's your secret?

And she said, I don't know that I have a secret, but she says, I get out of bed every day. She said, I refuse to let the goodness of God be up for grabs.

She said, with Christ in me, I'm stronger than I know.

I tell myself that every day.
