Today I interview Barb Walker a member of First Byron CRC. Barb begins with a five-minute summary of the story God’s been writing in her life in recent years. It’s a story about suffering a serious stroke followed by a cancer diagnosis. In other words, it’s not a story she would have written herself, but it’s a story God wrote and is writing.

Barb and I then discuss what God’s been teaching her through this story and then review some older chapters including her adoption, her meeting her birth mother later in life, her abusive first marriage, her happy and blessed second marriage to David, the role of singing in her Christian life, and her favorite Bible verses. 

I hope you will be as blessed as I was in listening to Barb’s testimony as I was when we chatted together about how the StoryChanger is changing her story with His Story.
