99 | A Story of a Certain Hope (Part One) with Wende Gaikema
Today Wende shares the story of her son, Matt, who died by suicide at the age of 22. Matt was an honor student at Texas A&M University ... a remarkable young with a keen mind, a quick wit, and a love for others and his dog Apple. As if often the case, there was no indication that Matt was planning to take his own life, and Wende describes suicide like a bomb going off in her family, leaving emotional shrapnel everywhere. Yet her story is one of a certain hope, anchored in faith in Jesus Christ. Settle in for a story of grief with hope.
