Starting Right

Trust Amidst Tragedy


Listen Later

Ever wonder how beautiful hymns emerge from life's darkest moments? Today we unpack the extraordinary story behind "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus," written in 1882 by missionary Louisa Stead after watching her husband drown while attempting to rescue a boy at Long Island beach.
Louisa's journey takes us from her teenage calling to missionary work, through devastating personal tragedy, to faithful service in Africa. Has a hymn ever spoken directly to your circumstances? Share your story or favorite hymn in the comments—I'd love to hear how music has shaped your faith journey.

Follow this link to hear a powerful rendition of 'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus, by Shane and Shane.
