Asking God "Why?"
I know you've done it too... Ask God "why?" maybe even demand answers from Him or stay angry with Him. Me too. In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful message that I heard recently that opened up my eyes, brought me to my knees, and re-affirmed my need for God to carry us through grief and life. You'll hear why it's completely normal to ask that question, and a huge question to ask instead that will draw you closer to Him and give you more comfort on your journey.
