Bill Bach never expected to face divorce or lymphoma in his life, but he found he could navigate any challenge with God’s help and by changing his perspective.

Discussion Points

The place he’d recommend visiting after traveling and living all over the world
Navigating the shock of divorce and it’s ensuing grief with God’s help
How asking God “What lack I yet?” and “What wouldst thou have me do? helped him grow
Why he made the decision to not let himself stay stuck being depressed and alone
How sick he got before getting a Lymphoma diagnosis
Why he didn’t want to do chemotherapy, but why he’s glad he did it
What it means when you’re not getting an answer to prayers
Why it is important to keep asking and knocking with different questions to God
Our trials can give us an opportunity to change our perspective
The story of a young boy on top of a mountain in Pakistan that changed his perspective
The story of a terminally ill young boy who asked “Why not me” in his challenge

Tips for Those Struggling

You’re not alone
Others have experienced what you are going through right now
The Savior has experienced all sorrows and suffering and can help you. Reach out to Him and He can help you overcome any struggle.
There is something to learn, or a silver lining in the clouds of every storm.
Be courageous with God’s help to walk your path.
When you think you are humble enough, you may still have a ways to go.

My Favorite Quote

Bill said, “From adversity and trials great growth comes.” I think this is one of the hardest things about the challenges we face—the growing pains.
