One year later: An interview with Matt Chandler

Justin Taylor asks Matt Chandler a few questions about the last year since he was diagnosed with cancer with the aim for readers to "pray for our dear brother."

Here's a list of the questions:

  • If you could go back and have a conversation with yourself on the evening of November 24, 2009, what would you have said to prepare Matt Chandler for the year ahead?
  • What role has your theology played in sustaining you throughout this year?
  • It sounds like the Lord not only prepared you personally for suffering, but also enabled you to prepare the people at your church by teaching them about the theology of suffering?
  • What about the role of your friends in helping you during this painful time?
  • For those who are walking with others who are suffering, what are some of the dumb things to avoid doing and saying?
  • What do you wish people understood more about how to relate to those who suffer?
  • How can we be praying for you and your family?

Read Chandler's answers and learn how he would like God's people to pray for him.
