'Where Hope Lies': An Interview With Steven Curtis Chapman

Continued from page 1

When I go to Africa and spend more time there with people who are the least of the least, those in desperate situations, I am broken by it. But I also find people with so much more joy and freedom living with nothing than I see walking down the streets of my own community here in Tennessee. There is something about what God wants to reveal through us. He never said your job was to do away with all the suffering in the world. Unfortunately, that will always be there, but God is inviting you to come and know and see him at work in those broken places. I don't have any good answers to these questions. I'm just trying to figure them out.

Ready.

Scooby-Doo.

Vegemite...though they only say it is a food.

[Chuckles] If you mean what prayer I say most often, it is, "Please help me, Lord."

Lucy.

Wo ai Ni. (I love you).

Tired.

Basketball...that way my kids wouldn't beat me so badly.

Zookeeper-I love animals.

Billy Graham. [Laughs] Are these questions supposed to mean something?
