Some stories stop you in your tracks, and this one from Longview is one of them—a devastating mill fire that took 11 lives, yet somehow still carried a quiet echo of faith through Gilbert’s final, peace-filled moments with his daughter. We’re reminded of how fragile life is and how deeply we need to cherish the people we love while we have them.
This is a tender reminder that a lived faith—steady, real, and present even in crisis—is a legacy that outlives us. And in the midst of community grief, environmental damage, and the strain on first responders, they call us to choose gratitude today, to lean into Jesus for comfort, and to stand with Longview as healing and restoration begin.
What is Faith Filter? We take what’s on our minds, what’s on our hearts, and what’s happening in the world… and put it through the filter of our faith and what God’s Word says about it.
Guest: Pastor Jesse from Grace Community Church in Auburn/ Host of the Bonfire podcast on Purposely, AND author of the brand new book, The Power Of The Second Thought, How To Live With Indestructible Hope!
