Ep 32: The Weight of Parenting 9 Kids While Grieving Your Wife

You will NOT believe the compounded grief that's just been added to our story.

This episode was recorded right before another tragedy, so when we sat down to talk about the overwhelm of 2.5 years of grieving, trying to get your life back on track, guiding and raising 9 children from multiple families, and being weighed down by it all while learning to trust God in the process...we couldn't imagine it could get more complicated.

Listen in and be encouraged, because despite everything that's happening, we know God is good, and He is redeeming everything.
