In this episode we continue our journey down the rabbit hole created in Episode 45. We started out by considering the things that we should say when someone loses a child that is right with God. Then in episode 47 we considered what to say when we are afraid that the youth or person might not be right with God. We continue this journey in this episode as we discuss the next step in grief that often leads to feeling angry with God for not stopping the event from taking place. If you have not listened to episode 45 and 47, you might want to do that first.

This episode is dedicated to the Mark Clark Family as they have been struck with tragedy. My heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you!
