Learning to See
When the Lights
Go Out
We live in a broken world. Seeing life through the grid of scripture gives us guidance and hope for today and the future. Jesus cautioned His disciples that in this world we will have trouble, but that we should not be afraid because He has overcome the world. God is not afraid of our questions when trouble comes. In fact, the writer of Hebrews encourages us to bring every question to our Father in heaven (Hebrews 10). He states that "Yet at present we do not see everything subject to our Savior." Then he declares, "But we see Jesus!" (Hebrews 2:1-9)
MARKINC Ministries is committed to leaning into the pain of life experiences that often go unnoticed by the church. The Learning to See When the Lights Go Out CD series addresses life's darkest circumstances that are difficult to discuss yet we are called on to help one another walk by faith, even when darkness falls. These are the real-life testimonies of people who have walked through these experiences and have learned to see when the lights went out.
Why would anyone tear open such painful scars for public consumption? These interviews are in response to God's command to encourage others as we ourselves have been encouraged. These people are a little farther ahead in the journey of life and they each call back that God is sovereign and can be trusted, even in the darkest of times. 
We would love to hear from you if these interviews are helpful.
