Today marks the sixth anniversary when I was told that my employment at Christianity Today would be ending. While it was a shock at the time, I can honestly say that the Lord has more than taken care of us as a family and me as a writer, editor, and publishing professional. His gracious answers to prayer have been dramatic and consistent, and both Christine and I are gratefully employed in satisfying and challenging ways that we never could have dreamed of six years ago. Even CT is on firmer financial footing, and I continue to have a cordial and productive relationship with the magazine and with colleagues there. While many challenges remain, I’m facing the future with confidence. I can honestly say there is life after a layoff. To God be the glory.
