In today’s episode, Neil and I reflect on the recent passing of my grandma and how I watched the end of her life unfold. We talk about letting God write in the hardest trials that shape our stories, and how trusting God as the author and finisher of our lives can bring peace and understanding, even when things don’t make sense. We dive into personal experiences of grief, loss, and growth, discussing the lessons we’ve learned from family tragedies and struggles in our marriage. We also share insights from Camille Johnson’s message about inviting Christ to be the author of our stories and Spencer W. Kimball’s powerful words on tragedy and free agency. This episode is all about learning to embrace the difficult moments, trusting that God is guiding us through them to help us become stronger, better, and more faithful.
