Finding Hope in the Midst of Tragedy: An Interview with Lisa Beamer
August 25, 2002 (Weekend Service)
John Ortberg interviews Lisa Beamer, wife of 9-11 hero Todd Beamer, who died in the United Flight 93 crash in Pennsylvania. .
Lisa shares how she met Todd and fell in love. She speaks of Todd's spiritual life growing up and how he learned that Jesus wasn't just sitting next to him while he was sitting in the pew on Sunday morning, but that He was walking with him every day. Lisa shares how knowing that Todd's faith needed to encompass more than just who he was on Sunday morning really shaped him for what he had to face.
Lisa tells how she experienced the loss of her father at the age of fifteen and as September 11 rolls around, one of the thoughts that comes to her mind is how God really prepared her and her family for the future through her loss in the past. She recounts how September 11th unfolded for her, how she shared the news with her oldest son of three years old, the information that was revealed to her about Todd's last moments, and where God has been in all this for her.
