Faith Through the Fire
Faith Through the Fire
Finding God, questioning what you believe, and making room for faith after life changes everything.
Faith doesn't always look the same after the fire. Sometimes the beliefs we carried into suffering are not the ones we carry out. Faith Through the Fire is an eight-week written course for anyone navigating the impact of suffering on their faith. Whether you are questioning what you've always believed, angry with God, sitting in spiritual silence, or searching for a faith that can hold your real life, this course offers a companion for the journey. This is not a traditional Bible study. It is not a course promising that prayer will eliminate suffering. It is a deeply personal, faith-centered exploration of doubt, anger, spiritual loneliness, hope, and the possibility of rebuilding faith — at your own pace, in your own words. Each week includes substantive written teaching, private reflections, book companion sections drawn from Brooke's own journey, optional prayer-writing exercises, and weekly integration activities. You can complete the course entirely on your own. No shared accounts, no shared responses, no pressure to arrive at any particular conclusion. This course is educational, not a substitute for professional spiritual direction, therapy, or medical care. If you are experiencing a crisis, please reach out to a qualified professional or contact the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
This course is based on Brooke Andersen's personal experiences, writing, and advocacy. Brooke is not a licensed mental health professional, and this course is intended for educational and personal reflection purposes only. It is not therapy, medical advice, or a substitute for professional care. Read the full disclaimer.
