In this episode of the GPS Hope podcast, Grieving Parents Sharing Hope, Laura shares a powerful and comforting perspective on the story of Jesus walking on water through the lens of child loss and deep grief. When life feels like a violent storm and faith feels fragile, it can be easy to wonder where Jesus is in the middle of our pain. But what if the storm is not proof He has abandoned us? What if He is already walking toward us in the middle of it?
Using the story of Peter stepping out onto the waves, Laura gently reminds grieving parents that our hope is not found in having perfect faith or somehow “holding it all together.” Our hope is found in Jesus Himself; the One who stands above the storm and reaches for us when we feel like we are sinking. If you have been struggling with fear, exhaustion, questions, or simply trying to trust God again after the death of your child, this episode offers compassionate encouragement that you are not alone, not forgotten, and still firmly held by the Savior whose grip never fails.
