Grief is a universal feeling that we will all walk through as we live our lives. It can be overwhelming, draining and leave us asking God a lot of questions, especially when it comes to the grief of losing a family member. Why did this happen? What am I supposed to do now?

That is why we are so blessed to have Peggy Townes as our guest on this episode of the iBehold Podcast. Peggy shares the story of growing up with her father, Frank M. Barker, who was the founding Pastor of Briarwood Presbyterian Church and her mother as they always trusted in the Lord to provide for their family. She then shares how the Lord called her father, mother and sister home to Heaven in the span of 1 month, and how she prayed to God for hope.

She explains to us how she learned in those moments of overwhelming grief to find hope and keep her eyes fixed upon God's grace. Through all of that, she learned and helps others learn to grief with hope.
