291: When We Don’t Think God is There

As parents who have lost a child from this earth, we know what it is like to be in a place that is so dark it does not seem like Jesus is there for us. In today’s episode Laura reminds us that there are several people in the Bible who also went through a dark time that felt like God was not there with them, including Jesus Himself.   Links Mentioned in this episode: Find out more about the 2026 Grief Cruise and/or the Renew and Remember Retreat here.   Birthdays: David J. Spinnanger was born on April 9 and left us at age 19.
