Have you ever felt like God has abandoned you? Have you difficult circumstances or loss causes you to question God? Candy and her husband experienced a stillbirth of their first-born named Grace. At the time she didn’t feel like she received enough support and resources so she started the non-profit called Missing Grace Foundation. She also co-authored the book Holding on to Love After You’ve Lost a Baby with Dr. Gary Chapman. She is a sought after speaker, author and advocate for families who are grieving a baby or child. She share her intimate experience with finding God and the shake up her faith experienced when she lost her child. She is brutally honest with the idea she had skipped the part where the Bible says “we will have trials and tribulations”. She believed that God had abandoned her. So much so that she didn’t go to church for 3 years. Candy shares how patient God was with her in the wrestling. God in His mercy cannot interfere with free will and that there is recompense in the Kingdom of God. Be encouraged in this powerful episode about grief, loss, pain, hope and faith.

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” ~John 16:33
