In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode, we sit down with Tracy and Ruthie Salter, members of Lighthouse church and the family of Russell Salter, who died by suicide. Together, we enter into a raw and heartfelt conversation about grief, faith, and the painful journey of navigating life after such a profound loss.

This episode is for those who are grieving, and those who need to hear that they are not alone in their sorrow, their questions, or even their struggles with faith. Tracy and Ruthie speak with honesty and vulnerability about what it means to hold on to God in the darkest valleys, and how their journey continues to unfold.
