Summary

This message takes us deep into the story of Ruth and Naomi—a story born in the rubble of famine, grief, and despair, yet transformed by faith, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to love. Pastor Erwin Raphael McManus explores how even our most bitter chapters can become the prologue to something beautiful if we choose to turn the page.

On a day as layered as Mother's Day—where joy and pain often collide—we’re reminded that our relationships with our mothers, our God, and our community shape more of our soul than we realize. Through personal stories, raw honesty, and powerful biblical insight, Pastor Erwin invites us to write a new story—not by erasing the past, but by choosing our next line with intention, courage, and faith.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story can begin again, or questioned if the pain you carry disqualifies you from hope, this message is for you. There’s an epic still waiting to unfold—if you’ll trust the Author and take the first step.
