About Randy

Randy visited California Baptist University in Riverside, California where he shared at their chapel. He spoke about suffering, Heaven, and the goodness of God, and also about his wife Nanci and her faithfulness through cancer. The date he spoke was actually the one-year anniversary of the day the Alcorn family of 11 gathered around her bed, and Nanci spoke powerfully into their lives. A week later, she went to be with Jesus.

My youngest daughter Angela wrote the following about her mom on September 28, the six-month anniversary of Nanci’s homegoing. March 28 marked the one-year anniversary since Nanci relocated to Heaven. This week our family has been all together—both our daughters Karina and Angela and their husbands, and all five of our grandsons.

In this clip Greg Laurie asks Randy Alcorn: When you order a burger, what do you order on it? Will there be hamburgers in Heaven?

A year ago tomorrow, on March 28, 2022, I said goodbye—for now—to my wife, Nanci, who was also my partner, soulmate, and best friend. The pilgrimage of grief, though full of learning and enrichment, is one I would gladly exchange to have my wife with me again. And yet…not really, because I recognize God’s sovereignty and love, and His perfect plan, and the fact that my wife is now happier than she has ever been.

Randy visited Liberty University, where he had a conversation with Campus Pastor Jonathan Falwell at the school’s convocation service. They spoke about Randy’s books, Nanci’s passing, and many things about Heaven.
