Special Note: This episode addresses the topic of suicide. The suicide hotline number will be listed below in the show notes. Also, we experienced some audio issues but did not want to miss the opportunity to share Jennifer’s incredible story and hope.

Have you lost someone to suicide and wondered where God is amid that excruciating, tragic loss? In this episode, Teasi talks with Jennifer DeFrates who shares her personal journey through loss, particularly the suicide of her husband (which she witnessed), and how it has shaped her faith and deep, abiding trust in God’s goodness and faithfulness.
