Relentless Pain - Beauty Beyond the Thorns a Conversation with Darci And Mark Steiner
Description
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome - Can Suffering Bring Gifts?
Darci and Mark Steiner’s lives turned inside out and upside down when Darci
nearly lost her life after a debilitating fall down the stairs in her home.
She was later diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome and spent six
years bedridden with such horrific pain she could not tolerate even a sheet
to touch her body. Her husband, Mark, immediately took on the role of
caregiver for Darci and all the extra responsibilities of raising their two
little girls.
In this conversation with Sharon Better, Darci and Mark freely answer
questions about their struggle to find a “new normal” when Darci was
incapable of caring for their girls or their home. Mark brings the unique
perspective of a full-time caregiver and how Mark sometimes struggles with
meeting all the needs of their children and his wife. They both share the
spiritual challenges of understanding the sovereignty of God over what seem
like set backs and unfair loss and how the Lord has met them in their most
broken moments.
They share their story in Darci’s book, Beauty Beyond the Thorns:
Discovering Gifts in Suffering.
Darci and Mark have both served in ministry, Darci as a teen and women’s
ministry leader, as well as assisting with church plants in Denver and Los
Angeles. Mark has served in full-time ministry in San Francisco and
Thailand. In the late 80's Mark helped Cambodian refugees from the Khmer
Rouge “killing fields" and the fighting between Cambodian guerillas and the
Vietnamese army on the border of Cambodia and Thailand. He is an
entrepreneur, along with caring for Darci.
