When you are trying to trust God after the death of your child, it can feel like everything you believed has been shaken to the core. In this deeply personal episode, Laura shares part of her own story and the questions that rise when suffering doesn’t make sense. Together, we gently look at what Scripture says about pain and how God’s grace and glory are still present, even in the darkest places.

This episode is rooted in 1 Peter 5:10–11, reminding us that even after we have suffered for a while, God’s heart toward us has not changed. If your faith feels fragile or uncertain right now, you are not alone, and this conversation is for you.
