| 0:00.0 | This is Chip Ingram, and one of the questions I hear all the time in the midst of tragedies, |
| 0:07.7 | and one of the things I struggle with myself, is when there are devastating things that happen, |
| 0:13.3 | whether it's fire that rips through an entire town, or someone who goes through something that is unimaginably painful, |
| 0:20.8 | and we say, God, where are you? |
| 0:22.7 | That is a difficult question we all wrestle with, Chip. Well, I'm Dave Drewie, and coming up today |
| 0:28.0 | on Living on the Edge, we'll share the second half of the incredible testimony from a fellow |
| 0:32.7 | believer in the United Kingdom named Guy. And as we heard last time, Guy experienced one of the most |
| 0:38.9 | dramatic, heartbreaking circumstances you'll ever hear. Yet his faith in God helped him |
| 0:44.6 | persevere against all odds. And Chip, I don't know about you, but I think Guy really epitomizes |
| 0:50.2 | Proverbs 2416, for a righteous person falls seven times and rises again. |
| 0:56.5 | Absolutely, Dave. |
| 0:57.8 | So if you weren't with this yesterday, we're going to back up just a few minutes to give you a bit of the background. |
| 1:04.2 | And if you need hope in the midst of a challenging time, today you'll hear a miraculous story of God meeting us in our deepest, deepest need. |
| 1:14.6 | That's right, Chip. And quickly, before we get started, like yesterday, Guy's story is intended |
| 1:19.6 | for mature audiences. So if you have younger kids listening in, parental discretion is strongly |
| 1:25.6 | advised. Well, let's not waste any more time. Here's the |
| 1:28.9 | remainder of Guy's story from tragedy to victory. Let me tell you about Hazel, my wife, |
| 1:41.2 | and our marriage. Hazel was just the kindest person that I think I'd ever met. |
| 1:49.8 | People used to say that she would light up the room and that's what I used to love about her. |
| 1:54.3 | She had such a heart for people. She cared so, so deeply. She had this saying that she always wanted to leave people better off |
| 2:04.1 | than when she first met up with them. That was her thing. She never liked to leave a conversation |
| 2:09.8 | or an interaction in a bad place. And really that whole heart is, I guess, why I fell in love with her. |
