Navigating Faith After Two Life-Limiting Diagnoses | Episode 130 with Lindsey Dennis

---

episode 130

This week I invited my friend Lindsey Dennis back to the podcast to talk about her spiritual journey and walk with God amidst anticipatory grief and the grief that followed the loss of her two daughters, Sophie and Dassah -- both from life-limiting diagnoses.

Lindsey shares honestly as she answers questions like:

• Did you ever get angry with God?

• Did you doubt His goodness?

• Did you doubt your faith completely?

I also asked Lindsey how she wrestled through the idea that God was powerful enough to heal her babies… or was He? Or did He just choose not to? And if He chose not to, is He still good?

We also discuss the question: did I do something wrong to deserve this loss? A question that many of us have probably thought about or asked at one point or another in our grief journey.

We end our time talking about heaven and what the Bible has to say for us as grieving moms and the hope we have to see our babies again one day. 

Whether you have been following God for a long time, if you are new to the christian faith, or if you are searching or angry or confused or questioning everything you thought you believed -- you are in good company, friend. You are not alone and I think this episode will encourage you today right where you are.
