In a world teeming with religious narratives and expectations, what happens when lived experiences do not align?  

Dr. Philippa Koch, Missouri State University associate professor of religion, explored this question through her research on how Christians in colonial America held onto the doctrine of providence. This is the belief that God oversees everything and sometimes intervenes in the world.
