Summary

It's difficult finding the right thing to say to those in mourning - we clumsily fumble over our words, say nothing, or utter the worst possible thing at the worst possible time. Whatever our experience, we could all use help ministering better to those suffering loss - in particular, the loss of an unborn child.To help us today is Matthew Eusey, Pastor of Trinity Church Central Oahu, and his wife, Karyn.The Euseys share about the loss of their son and what it was like at the receiving end of people's best efforts to help them through their grief. In a few words, they give voice to a darkness so often kept private. Their story is a humbling, sincere account of awaiting the resurrection while honoring the little life God fashioned and took so quickly. It's hard making sense of such a sadness, but Karyn said it best: “There is no silver lining in this … but Christ.”The Alliance has a bunch of copies of "Holding Onto Hope" by Nancy Guthrie that we are giving away.

0:32.8	Thank you. Well, we are so grateful that you all have joined us for Mortification of Spin.
0:48.7	We have a special program today.
0:51.1	Sometimes we will joke around and have fun, which is appropriate. Other times

1:00.6	We have a couple of guests with us today who are good friends. Folks I've known for a while.
1:06.4	Carl has known for a while. Even Amy has been welcomed into the circle of this relationship. But our
1:11.9	guests are Matt and Karen, UC. Matt and Karen live in Oahu. Matt is the pastor of a PCA
1:19.2	church there called Trinity Church Central Oahu. Matt and Karen, you've been there for what, around
1:24.9	three years or two and a half years, something like that?
1:28.1	A little over two years.
1:29.3	Yeah, a little over two years.

1:36.5	out to the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where they're serving a wonderful church there.
1:41.8	Matt and Karen, thank you so much for being on with us today. We're talking about
1:46.4	a subject that is sensitive and it's also very personal for Matt and Karen. We want to talk a
1:53.1	little bit about the subject of losing a child or dealing with the death, specifically of an
2:00.4	unborn child.
2:02.3	And I thought I wanted to just begin with letting Matt and Karen just tell us briefly about their own story and their own experiences in this area.
