Josiah’s journey through grief and tragedy to reunion and peace

Josiah, after wrestling with depression, miraculously reconnected with Jesus finding joy and peace… only to be struck by a car… reuniting with his baby brother Jeremiah in Heaven. 

God is with you in the darkest valley and weeps with you as you grieve. Be encouraged, build your faith, and become equipped to face grief in your own life, and be prepared to compassionately lift another’s burdens in their time of need. Welcome to this 3-part conversation about how God’s compassionate presence was experienced during three very traumatic events for Lara and her family.

Part 1: Jeremiah’s Story
Lara shares a firehose amount of wisdom in this very candid discussion about the difficulty of her baby going to Heaven early due to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.) His oldest brother Josiah, who shared the same birthday, was the first to discover him.

The storms didn’t end there. She was ready and able to stand strong and rest in her faith, no matter where the currents were leading.

Part 2: Linnea’s Story
Beautiful and vibrant 10-year-old Linnea was experiencing what everyone thought were growing pains. Turned out to be stage 4 cancer: Ewing Sarcoma. This was a shock to all, except God who was already at work coordinating plans for what was to unfold. You will hear with incredible clarity about the presence of God before, during, and after each of these storms. You will leave this series with faith that is strengthened, wisdom that is expanded, and compassion that is equipped and ready to help others who are walking through a similar journey today.
