Summary
In seasons of deep grief, faith can feel less like certainty and more like a daily choice. Yet even the smallest seed of faith can grow into something that bears witness to God's goodness.
On today's podcast, Beverly May from our community in Auburn, Alabama, vulnerably shares her journey through the sudden loss of her 13-year-old son, Will. As she looks back, Beverly reflects on the ways the Lord made His presence known—through His Word, His mercies, and the faithful care of His people.
Her story is a powerful reminder that God meets us in the details of our lives, revealing His love and faithfulness even in the hardest seasons. If you or someone you love has experienced the sudden loss of a loved one, this story offers a glimpse of the hope that can only be found in Jesus.
VERSE OF THE WEEK:
For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12
CHALLENGE OF THE WEEK:
Sometimes, faith is a choice. Where do you need to choose faith in your life? Take that mustard seed and offer it to the Lord and watch Him show you His goodness, faithfulness, and love.
