- Looking for God's promises and miracles in the midst of the pain
- Feelings of bitterness and resentment around other babies
- How to focus on the season you're in and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus
- Different ways to handle being invited to a baby shower
- Humility and repentance in marriage
- Putting your spouse's needs first and asking what they need in their grief
- Healing and redemption through foster care and adoption
- Why they call AnnaJoy's grave her "place" and how their ministry started
- The importance of memorial stones and how AJ's Place can help you if cost is prohibiting you from getting one for your baby in Heaven

33 | The Beautiful Brokenness of Grief | Kelcey Crone
Join us for a conversation with Kelcey Crone about the beautiful brokenness of grief. After their son was born into Heaven, Kelcey and her husband were in a pit of despair. Not only were they grieving their son, but his loss exposed their sin from the past and in the present.
In the nakedness of their grief, they turned to God, and He saved their marriage. Both individually and collectively, God radically transformed them and gave them a new purpose in serving others and living for Jesus.
In this episode, we discussed:
- Vulnerability and how to process grief with your spouse
- Satan using your loss to wreak havoc in your marriage
- Making the choice to choose God every day
- Becoming 'one' in marriage after loss
- How loss exposes past and current sin (and why that could be a good thing)
- Redemption and purpose after losing a baby
- The value of community in grief
- Being fed by the Bible and staying connected to Truth
- Bible interpretation: what is exegesis and eisegesis?
- Why Jesus' Second Coming and the Rapture brings us hope
- Serving others can be a vital source of healing
- Finding joy again and looking toward the future
