Many of us struggle with our view or belief about God after the death of our child. We feel like He has abandoned us. But it is much more helpful when we see God as the rescuer in our story, rather than the cause of our pain by something he did or didn’t do.
In this episode, Laura takes a deeper look at Philippians 1:21 when Paul says, “to live is Christ and to die is gain.” It seems like a simple verse, but there is more to it than we might think.
Join Laura, as she talks about all of this in a way that allows us to see through different eyes that help us move toward a life of meaning and purpose again.
