Grieving Parents Sharing Hope

308: Our Relationship With God After Child Loss


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, we continue the conversation on how the death of our child impacts our relationship with God specifically shifting from a transactional relationship to an intimate one built on trust, even when we don't understand Him.

Laura gently challenges us to examine the ways our fast-paced, internet-driven culture may be shaping our spiritual expectations, making it harder to trust and wait on God. Drawing from insights by John Eldredge and personal stories, she explores the healing power of lingering in God's presence and learning to embrace a relationship that's based on love, not spiritual performance.

You'll be encouraged to:

  • Let go of the need for immediate answers
  • Rebuild trust with God in the midst of your grief
  • Move beyond I did my part, God should do His thinking
  • Rediscover the beauty of waiting and intimacy with Him
  • Shift from skepticism to childlike faith
