How do we anchor ourselves to Christ while riding waves of grief? Even when we hope in all that's yet to come, death and loss are challenging to navigate.
In today's episode, we have Eve Stipes and Troy Simons, who have experienced the loss of a father and brother, respectively, in the recent past. Listen in as Eve chats with Troy and then her mom, Joyce, about living faithfully in the face of unexpected loss.
Every young mother has heard the advice "Enjoy them while you can," but what does it really look like to embrace today even if you're longing for a different (and seemingly easier?) season.
In today's episode, Ruth is joined by Sally Clarkson to talk about motherhood in the context of "now and not yet."
