Tested by Fire, Held by Grace

Season 1, Episode 1800:31:08Published June 3, 2025

What do you do when everything you've built suddenly disappears? In this deeply moving episode of Perspectives into Practice, I sit down with my friend Tiffany, who shares her powerful testimony of walking through the unimaginable, the total loss of her brand-new home in a house fire. But this isn't just a story about devastation. It's a testimony of faith, community, and the unexpected ways God meets us in the ashes.

Tiffany opens up about the morning her home exploded, how her family miraculously escaped, and the grace that carried them through the chaos. With raw honesty, she reflects on what it means to lose everything and still count it all as gain because of Christ. You'll hear how her family found strength in scripture, healing in their community, and even humor in the rebuilding process.

If you've ever faced a season of loss or uncertainty, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone and that God is working, even in the fire.

Scriptures Mentioned in the Episode:

  • Philippians 3:8–10"Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord..."

  • Job 1:21"The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."

  • Job 2:10"Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

  • Genesis 50:20"As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today."

For Further Reflection:
