How do you find hope when life feels dark?
In this episode of the Faith Conversations Podcast, Jessica Cabrera interviews Marcella Oakley, a former detective, hostage negotiator, wife, mother, and friend of Rachel Noonan from the first episode of Faith Conversations.
Marcella shares how her grandmother helped her understand the importance of a personal relationship with God, how God carried her through her daughter's diagnosis with Cystic Fibrosis, and how she witnessed God's love through the loss of her mother. Marcella also shares a unique perspective on the existence of good and evil in the world from her years in law enforcement.
Through every challenge, Marcella learned to look for God's presence in the small things and trust that He is at work even in the darkness or when life feels out of control..
This episode is an encouragement for anyone walking through hardship. God is present in the darkness, and His love shines brightly when we learn to recognize Him at work around us.
