In this podventure, we discuss the episode “Karen,” in which Donna Barclay’s best friend Karen is diagnosed with a serious illness. Through it all, Karen overflows with the kind of joy that can only come from knowing and trusting Jesus. Fair warning: this episode is SAD. But like Karen, we find humor in the midst of difficult circumstances. Also, Manila cake, faith during tragedy, and using stories to make sense of death. Go get your parents.
