In one of our most raw and moving episodes yet, Lindsay Martin (Apologetics Canada) opens up about the day her world stopped: the stillbirth of her firstborn son, Tobias. In the wake of a healthy pregnancy, Lindsay was blindsided by the "silent" loss of her baby just weeks before Christmas.

How do you stay faithful when the hospital sends you formula samples for a baby you didn't get to bring home? How do you reconcile the "Goodness of God" with the silence of an empty nursery?

In this episode, we explore:

The "Salt in the Wound": Navigating the clinical and systemic trauma of loss within a hospital system designed for life.

The Paradoxical Beauty: Finding "supernatural peace" in a room full of grieving family and unanswerable questions.

The Suitcase of Knowledge: A powerful analogy on why God, in His mercy, spares us from knowing the weight of our future trials.

Is God Good? Shifting the conversation from "Does God exist?" to "Is He a being worth trusting?"

The Resurrection Anchor: Why the historical fact of Jesus rising from the dead is the only logical reason to hope for a future reunion.
