Summary

It’s hard enough when one challenge hits your life, but what if it’s not just one? Sometimes trials don’t come alone, and we can find ourselves walking through one difficult season after another. Every new circumstance brings new levels of pain and grief, and it can be hard to draw near to God when everything seems to be going wrong. This is exactly what Molly Huffman faced. After her mother’s death, a miscarriage, the loss of her newborn son, and a divorce, it seemed like the whole world was against her. Molly sits down with Davey to share what she’s learned about the idea of “lament” and how she’s drawn closer to God through every storm she’s faced. Learn more about your ad choices.

1:05.4	And yeah, I loved her definition of limiting
1:08.6	and I think as a Christian, I always feel like this need to revere the God and I can worship him but I can't truly I can
1:18.6	tell my sin to him but I can't really tell him how I feel about him because he just needs
1:21.8	to be respected and revered and I think
