Sing in the Fire! How to Keep Your Joy When Tragedy Strikes w/ Lara Silverman, Author / Performer
About this episode
Could you keep your creative spark in the midst of life's darkest moments?
If you've ever faced a season of suffering and wondered how your faith and your creative career could possibly survive, this episode will inspire you and give you the motivation you need to overcome any challenge.
In this episode, we talk with Lara Silverman, a lawyer, singer / actress and author who has dealt with some of the most devastating losses imaginable - yet maintained her trust in God and her joy in creative work.
Lara Silverman is a bestselling Christian author, lawyer, jazz singer, and comedic actress. In 2018, Lara was working with high-profile law firms and was ascending in her career when a life-threatening illness suddenly turned her life upside-down. Her life took yet another unexpected turn when she met and married the love of her life, only for him to pass away from a terminal illness shortly afterward.
Even as she remains mostly bedridden today, she anchors her unwavering hope in God and has continued to exercise her creative gifts in various projects, including writing her memoir, Singing Through Fire, in August 2025.
