• Where: Indiana Wesleyan University, Anderson, Indiana.

Curt Smith has advocated for the sanctity of human life for over 35 years until his son, Andrew, fell to cancer at the tender age of 25 in January of 2016. A Butler University academic and basketball standout, Andrew and his wife were living the dream in his formative years as a professional basketball player in Lithuania when doctors discovered a cancerous lump, setting into motion a two-year agonizing decline.

Curt and Deb Smith entered this painful season with a theological conviction that there is meaning in suffering, and today they are emerging, even in bereavement, all the more convinced that the lesson from cancer is the same as any suffering -- simply, child-like, faith in God's purpose. God was, is, and forever will be good, and he faithfully redeems tears. ​ (More about this speech here.)
