Surviving a Crisis
The recent wildfires in California, last month's earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia, or a cancer diagnosis for yourself or a friend. These are all disasters -- whether they're global or personal. They're the kinds of things that make someone ask why. Disaster psychologist and survivor Jamie Aten talks about how not just to survive a crisis, but how to walk through it resiliently in faith and with the grace of God.
