Diamonds Summer Event: Marriage and Health Challenges

By S. G. Willoughby, Rebecca Washburn and Marie Christian

Chronic illness is messy, and so often we let it become who we are. But illness cannot steal either your purpose, identity, or your most precious relationships. Diamonds 2021 is an online conference for chronically ill Christians. The goal of the conference is to encourage all those facing invisible battles. 

 

You aren't alone — far from it. 

 

This year fifteen authors, bloggers, and ministry leaders who battle chronic illnesses themselves are joining together to offer hope and insight as you navigate relationships in the midst of long-term illness. Hear from people like Bella Morganthal, Jacob and Tera Bradham DeNeui, Mark and Carley DenBoer, Leah Kaiser and many others about topics like:

 

-Marriage with a Chronic Illness

-Parenting with a Chronic Illness

-How to be content in singleness

-Christ-centered Relationships

-And much more!
