S3 08 Lauren McAfee: Trusting in God During Life’s Worst Nightmares

Lauren Green McAfee was raised in a Christian home. She is the granddaughter of the founder of Hobby Lobby, and daughter of Steve Green, the founder of the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. The mother of two children, Lauren found out just one month after their elder child, Zion, was adopted that she had cancer. She shares with us how waiting, longing, and suffering drove her deeper into Scripture and into a more intimate relationship with God.    Register for the Strong Women Lent Reading Challenge!
