Guest: Amber Smith, author of The Girl on the Bathroom Floor (available now)

When life brings you to your knees, Jesus meets you there. In this tender, truth-filled conversation, Amber Smith shares the story behind Girl on the Bathroom Floor—a book born from unimaginable loss and refined through the presence of God. We talk about grieving with God, how faith becomes an anchor in heartbreak, navigating marriage and parenting in the wake of loss, choosing remembrance over despair, and the surprising coexistence of grief and joy. Amber also offers essential, practical wisdom on water safety and ISR training.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• What it looks like to meet Jesus in the middle of raw grief—and how to start inviting Him into your pain

• Why Scripture is the lifeline that replaces lies with truth when guilt and shame try to take over

• How couples can “grieve differently, love sacrificially,” and still grow closer through suffering

• Gentle ways to shepherd children through loss while modeling healthy emotion and honest hope

• Why remembrance is a spiritual practice that steadies your heart (Deut. 6; Joshua 4)

• Multi-layered water safety measures every family should know (including ISR basics)
