In part 2 of our conversation with Jenny Chapman, we continue exploring her young daughter Tara's courageous battle with brain cancer. Starting with a re-telling of their shared vision of Heaven, we hear about Tara's miraculous recovery and the challenges she faced as her health and speech deteriorated before her passing.

Jenny shares how she drew courage from Tara's example, emphasizing that we don't get to decide what miracles look like, and how, despite our faith in God, suffering is an unavoidable part of life.

The conversation then shifts to Jenny's involvement in the New Zealand Pro-Life movement. She highlights the role of Pro-Life advocacy in protecting the elderly, disabled and terminally ill, and discusses the importance of a culture and community that values life.
