Summary

As believers in Jesus Christ, we know we are not immune to grief, but as believers in Jesus Christ, we grieve with hope - hope in life after death, a new world that awaits us, and an eternity filled with the glory of God.

Diane Lee, from our community group in Montgomery, Alabama, reminds us of these truths as she shares her journey of finding purpose in the loss of her daughter. This story will point you to the many promises found in God's Word when you are walking through sorrow and suffering, and Diane's joyful delivery will leave you strengthened in your faith and God's love in the most heartbreaking of circumstances.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- In dealing with grief, allow God to be your strength.

- Your suffering is never in vain.

- Your pain can fuel your passion - use your story to glorify God and comfort others.
