UCT 027: Walking Through Adversity with Steve & Vicki Orsillo
Monday Oct 14, 2019
Monday Oct 14, 2019
This week is a special episode for the Uncommon Truth. For the first time, Max sits down with Steve Orsillo and his wife, Vicki, to have a discussion about faith in the midst of difficult times. Steve and Vicki founded The Father’s House Church in Oroville over twenty years ago. Though they display joy and peace in private and public, their lives have been far from easy. This past week, the Orsillos lost their granddaughter, Avalynn Hope Wallace, to her fight with leukemia. They have lost businesses and watched fire take their house, and each time their faith has increased. Together, they share stories of how their faith has grown in each difficult circumstance.
In the West, difficulties and suffering are often seen as indictments of our faith. We tend to take tough circumstances as a sign that God is not with us, or that we are walking outside His will. Yet, Jesus never promised His followers would have easy lives. He promised His Spirit would be with them, giving them His strength, comfort, and authority. The Orsillos have made it their goal to live in a way that makes this obvious.
Avalynn's Celebration of Life: Will be held at 3556 Oro Bangor Hwy, Oroville, CA 95966. The celebration will start with a potluck picnic at 3:30, followed by a formal service at 5:30. In lieu of flowers, the Wallace family would appreciate donations to "Avie's Place," a LEGO-themed park to be built in her honor. Those donations can be made on Facebook or directly to The Father's House Church of Oroville. Those attending can also bring perennial plants, trees, shrubs, benches or picnic tables to contribute to the park. Donation links and more information can be found below:
