Try Again
From Bad Things Happen: Toward a healthy, hopeful, and helpful theology of suffering by Lamar Hardwick (D.Min.)

About this episode
Lamar Hardwick reflects on the challenges of trying again after setbacks, particularly in the context of his cancer diagnosis.
It’s the end of the year and like most people I’m thinking about the upcoming year. I preached this message 2 years ago. We were still technically in a pandemic. Little did I know that in about two months I’d be diagnosed with cancer again for the second time in two years. This message was all about learning to try again and trust again when something we attempted didn’t succeed. Today I’m preaching to myself with this clip but I thought I’d share just in case there’s something you need to try again too. #cancerwarrior #unshakeable #tryagain Get full access to The Four Stages Substack at autismpastor.substack.com/subscribe
