Can childhood shape the way we see God for the rest of our lives?
Bruce Wolff believes it can, and it took him decades to discover just how much his earliest experiences had influenced his understanding of faith, suffering, forgiveness, and trust.
In this deeply personal conversation with Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Bruce shares the remarkable journey behind his memoir, Finding Hope: Navigating an Obscure Path: Learning to Trust God When You Can Barely Understand Him. Growing up as the son of Salvation Army missionaries meant constant moves across continents, political unrest in Nigeria, the loss of his father at just 11 years old, and years of carrying questions that didn’t have easy answers.
Bruce reflects on how those childhood experiences shaped his view of God, the bitterness he carried into adulthood, the role forgiveness played in his healing, and why learning to trust God became a much longer journey than simply believing in Him. He also shares how that unexpected path eventually led him into missionary aviation and the founding of Brigade Air, introducing thousands of young people to technical missions around the world.
This conversation goes beyond Bruce’s book, giving listeners the opportunity to hear the personal reflections, emotions, and lessons that can only come through conversation. The memoir provides the complete story. The interview offers the perspective that comes from living it.
If you’ve ever struggled to reconcile faith with suffering, wondered why difficult seasons seem to follow faithful people, or questioned how to trust God when life refuses to make sense, this is a conversation you won’t soon forget.
