Losing a loved one is hard, but it’s even more heartbreaking when we’re uncertain about their eternal destination. In this episode of True Comfort, Teasi has a heartfelt conversation with professor and apologist, R. L. Solberg who opens up about his ongoing efforts to share the good news of the Gospel with his once-estranged father, the grief he experienced when his father died unexpectedly having never confessed a belief in Jesus, and his unwavering trust in the goodness of God through it all.
