About this episode

The episode discusses finding grace and purpose through grief and pain, emphasizing the importance of faith and helping others.

Nuggets of Wisdom “The Lord taught me to begin to relinquish that dream to Him so that He could replace that dream with a better dream, a better plan, or he could affirm and confirm that was his dream for me.” “As we begin to ask the Lord, ‘In my pain, God, will you use me to bring joy and encouragement to others?’ That is not a prayer He will overlook.” “I began to see there was something in this journey. This barren season could bring joy.” “Ian helped others bridge this issue of racial reconciliation. It’s been a beautiful thing to witness.” “You are good, and what You do is good.” (Psalm 119:68) “When we praise in the midst of pain, it’s our ladder out of despair.” “It brings some sort of joy and peace to the journey of pain when you can see you are actually being used to help others walk through their own.” Don’t miss an episode!
