346: Trying to Trust God After the Death of Your Child (Part Two: How God Rebuilds You Through the Pain)

As we continue exploring what it means to be trying to trust God after the death of your child, this episode shifts into what God is doing within us through our suffering. While the pain never feels “good,” Scripture shows us that God is still at work bringing maturity, strength, and a deeper foundation in Him. Based on 1 Peter 5:10–11, we talk about how God gently rebuilds us by perfecting, establishing, strengthening, and settling us, even when part of us feels forever missing. If you are wondering how to keep going or what healing can even look like now, this episode offers quiet hope and truth for the road ahead.
