We Lost a Son and a Daughter in the Same Day | Pr. Courtney & Erica Robinson | The Upgrade w Joe Adevai #004

Pastor Joe and Alicia sit down with Associate Pastor Courtney Robinson and his wife Erica for one of the most emotional conversations you'll ever hear. Courtney and Erica both grew up in Kingston, Jamaica, met through a cadet program and a little sister who decided the cure for her big sister's depression was a boyfriend. Erica opens up about childhood molestation, being given away at birth, kidnapped by her own parents, and the walls she built to survive. Courtney shares how he went from being a well-known cadet leader to the loneliest walk of his life at 17 when his family broke apart and he was the only one sent back to the neighborhood they escaped. Together they walk through building a life from nothing in Jamaica, getting married the same day they put the roof on their first house, and eventually making it to the U.S. where everything was tested. The heartbreaking loss of their son CJ, a wrongful CPS case that separated them from their daughter for four months, and the question of how you keep trusting God when the worst keeps happening. This episode will wreck you and rebuild you at the same time. It's only up from here.
