Summary

What does redemption look like in our stories of pain and suffering? How do we step into the story of someone we love and hold space for them? For Nothing is Wasted co-founder, Kristi Blackburn, learning to be a place of refuge and healing for her husband, Davey, and son, Weston, years after they lost their first wife and mom, Amanda, has been no simple task. In the messiness of grief, blending families, and navigating the impact of trauma, Kristi has had to step into the call of being a wife and mother without a manual but only the grace of God to guide her. She has had to learn how to do it all from a place of faith and not fear, while also tending to her own story of shame, loss and grief. While it hasn't been easy, she has found that in the midst of it all, God has given her the strength and wisdom she has needed to be a source of healing and help to both Davey and Weston as they continue to put the pieces together of their shattered hearts. In this heartwarming episode, Davey and Kristi have the opportunity to share candidly about what it has been like to step into each other's pain, the difference between redemption and restoration, and how to parent kids who have faced the unimaginable. If you've ever struggled to see God's redemption plan play out in your story, this conversation will show you that perhaps it already has and you just haven't recognized it yet.

0:50.0	Well, hello, welcome to the Nothing is Wasted podcast. My name is Davy Blackburn. I am one of your hosts.
0:55.6	And not joining me today is Aubrey Sampson. However, I do have a very, very special guest that is joining me today with the conclusion of our book launch series.
1:08.5	Again, I cannot believe that nothing is wasted the book is actually
1:11.8	out to the world. Like this is, I'm pinching myself because this has been such a long time

1:24.0	this moment and this window of time where we can release this message out into the world.
1:29.7	And probably, honestly, the person who has been walking through this with me the most in each one of
1:36.7	these seasons where we thought, you know, the trial was going to happen and then we had to decelerate and
1:42.3	it got continued and we thought we were going to release the book and then we had to decelerate and it got continued and we thought we were going to release the book.

2:08.0	maybe you weren't a part of? How do you blend a family? I mean, we talk about all kinds of
2:12.1	stuff. Christy, by the way, her episode 100 on the Nothing Is Wasted podcast is still to this date, the most
2:18.7	listened to episode that we've ever had. I mean, hands down, it is an incredible episode where
