In the second half of our Latter-Day Ladies interview, Emily Johns shares her journey through darkness and the power of praying for help in the name of Christ.
She teaches the sacredness of grief, the righteousness of leaning into mourning, and the healing that comes from fully processing our pain.
We explore 1 Peter 1:7—how faith, more precious than gold, is refined through trials and transforms into true knowledge. This is a conversation about trust, surrender, and finding Christ in our hardest moments.
