In this episode, Amanda Brown (St. John Women's Ministry Director) sits down with Anna Staff (North Partner) for a deeply moving conversation about expectant hope in painful loss.

Before you jump into their conversation, we want to note that Anna’s story involves the recent loss of a child. Anna wanted to share her family’s story in faith that it would encourage the body of Christ, and we believe it will do that. We know this story may be difficult for some of you here, so we wanted to let you know before you listen.
