Faith Over Fear

Healing Through Fiction and Processing Grief


Listen Later

We've probably all watched a movie or read a novel that had a profound impact on us and helped us see ourselves, our circumstances, and our struggles in a fresh way. God uses numerous ways to speak to our souls, and stories can reach places within us we might otherwise keep walled off. In this episode, host Jennifer Slattery talks with novelist Felicia Ferguson on some of the themes presented in her latest release When Secrets Come Calling, the various losses her characters grieve, how God meets them in their pain, and how He longs to heal us as well. (Scroll down for discussion/reflective questions.)

Books mentioned: When Secrets Come Calling, The Paths We Walk: Trails, The Paths We Walk: Bridges.
