It's the 155th episode of Hear and Now Podcast! Heather and Sophia are joined by their guest, Lamar Hanna, to talk about life after loss, the journey of grief, and how we can suffer well. In this episode, we explore the ripple effect of grief, the journey of finding hope amidst pain, and how faith helps navigate the darkest seasons. Lamar shares his powerful story of losing his wife, Jessica, to cancer, and how he's continued her mission of faith and grace. We discuss the themes of redemptive suffering, the journey toward healing, and the strength found in aiming for heaven even when life feels unbearable. Join us for an inspiring conversation on resilience, the power of community, and the comfort found in trusting God's plan, with insights on living with purpose through grief.
