How Do You Keep Going After Your Worst Fear Comes True? In this episode, I sit down with my close friend Trever Facey for an honest and deeply personal conversation about life after losing his father to suicide. We discuss grief and how suicide loss reshapes your understanding of God, faith, friendship, and what it really means to survive when you don't have the answers.
If you’ve lost someone you love, if you’re walking beside a grieving friend, or if you’re in a dark season right now, this episode is for you. I hope it will bring you hope!
