Episode 35: Inheritance of Tears - a Theology of Suffering and the Goodness of God with Jessalyn Hutto

In this episode of the Hope Mommies Podcast, host Kristin Hernandez sits down with Jessalyn Hutto, author of An Inheritance of Tears, to explore the grief of pregnancy loss through the lens of scripture and God's sovereignty. They discuss the doctrine of the Fall—how it brought physical brokenness into the world—and the hope found in God's redemptive plan and our inheritance in Christ. Jessalyn shares her personal story of miscarriage and discusses how a firm foundation in scripture helps us navigate suffering. She addresses struggles like guilt, jealousy, and questioning God's goodness, and highlights how a biblical understanding of God's character and the overarching story of scripture can sustain us in grief.  This conversation is a reminder that even in our sorrow, we can trust in God's love, character, and redemptive plan. Listen in for hope-filled encouragement as we look to God's Word together!  Jessalyn Hutto lives in Conroe, Texas with her husband and four children. In 2015, her husband planted King's Church, where he continues to pastor and she serves as the Women's Ministry Director. She is the author of "Inheritance of Tears: Trusting the Lord of Life When Death Visits the Womb," a book that seeks to help women understand their miscarriages from a biblical perspective.
