These days we hear a lot about death, which leaves us with a choice to make.

Donna Avant explains, if we choose to, we have hope.

We must not only live that hope, we've got to every day practically live out that help.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, co-author of You Can Trust

God to Write Your Story.

For May 19th, 2021, I'm Dana Grish.

Death isn't something that we like talking about, but if we're honest, we do think about it.

I know a lot of moms are afraid of losing a child to death.

And over the past year or so, the constant news about the pandemic has kept the topic uppermost in our minds. In fact, I think it would be safe to say that most of us know someone who has died

as a result of COVID. And as we get older, we start to think about it more, to wonder when

and how we'll die. In fact, when Robert was diagnosed with cancer just a little over a

year ago, I can tell you that we had some conversations and thinking about, would this be his

time? Would we soon be planning a funeral? Well, yesterday on Revive Our Hearts, John and Donna

Avant spoke with Aaron Davis about how Christians can grow in our understanding

of death. And beyond that, they reminded us of the hope that we have because of the resurrection of

Jesus who defeated death. It's a sobering topic, but it was a super encouraging program. So if you missed it,

I hope you'll find it in your podcast feed or at

Revive Our Hearts.com. John and Donna help head up many of the outreach efforts of life action

ministries. Before that, John served as a pastor for many years. So they have a lot of experience

comforting the grieving and spurring others on to trust the Lord when it comes to matters of life and death.

Today we're going to listen to Part 2 of this conversation on how we can have hope in the face of death.

Here's Aaron Davis, along with John and Donna Avant.
