In this episode, we welcome Shelly Johnson, a singer, songwriter, worship leader, and mother of three children- one of whom now lives in Heaven. Shelly is no stranger to grief, as she lost her father, her hero, when she was a young teen. In the midst of that heartbreak, God began stirring a calling on her life through songwriting. Years later, Shelly experienced another profound loss when she suffered the miscarriage of her second child. As Shelly discusses what she has learned through grief and loss, you will find comfort and new insights. She helps us realize that even in our deepest pain and darkest moments, God is near — and He weeps with us.

In today's podcast, Missie Durapau shares her journey of loss and of the hope she has found in Christ. Her son, Mason, went to Heaven after a golf cart accident. With honesty and transparency, Missie shares about the painful journey of child loss, the questions that come with grief, and the ways God has met her in the midst of it all. Whether you're walking through loss yourself or wanting to better support someone who is, this conversation offers encouragement, comfort, and hope.

If you’ve walked very far down the road of child loss, you have discovered that your suffering has changed you in many ways. Suffering can draw us closer to the Lord, and if we let Him, He will mold and shape us through our suffering.

What then? God can use our pain to help others. In this webinar, a panel of bereaved parents share what they have learned through their grief journeys and how they have experienced God's faithfulness along the way. They offer biblical encouragement, honest reflections on suffering, and testimonies of how the Lord has enabled them to continue walking with purpose and joy after devastating loss. They share a host of ways that bereaved parents can touch the lives of others.

We hope your heart will be encouraged, your faith strengthened, and that you more clearly see the ways God is working in your own journey of grief.
