You've asked it a thousand times: "Why did this happen? Why my child? Why. And the answers people keep offering you — they're in a better place, everything happens for a reason, at least you have other children — never reach the place that actually hurts. If anything, they make you feel more alone. This episode is for the mom who is exhausted from carrying everyone else's explanations. There is something here that the world's wisdom could never give you — and it may not be what you think it is. In this episode, you'll discover... 👉 Why the world's wisdom will never give you the answer your heart longs for 👉 The part of your grief that counseling alone was never meant to reach 👉 What God did for thirty-seven chapters before He ever said a single word 👉 What if the answer your heart is aching for is not what you think it is? When the next person hands you an answer that doesn't fit, you don't have to carry it. Take a deep breath and join me for some relief that you been looking for.
