    This is Diana Derringer's story...

    I'm Diana Derringer, and I love sharing the message of hope that's possible when people turn to Jesus in faith. I've been through some tough times in my life – my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and later suffered a stroke, heart attack, and fall with a severe brain injury – but through it all, I've learned to rely on God's never-changing nature, not my ever-changing emotions. I would encourage others who are going through tough times to do the same – to embrace God's love and promises, even when they can't see or feel them. Trust that God will carry you through every difficulty and that He can use even the worst circumstances to bring good into your life.

    In this episode, you will learn the following:

    1. How Diana Derringer chose joy after her husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor and then experienced a stroke, heart attack, and fall with a severe brain injury
    2. How Diana's writing has opened doors for her to reach more people than she could have through international mission trips
    3. How God can use the worst of our circumstances to bring good out of them
