Episode Episode 224 - Insights on Hospitality & Trusting God When Life Hurts
In this Insights episode, Laura and I unpack some of the big themes from Emma Robinson’s interview - from hospitality and opening our homes to others, to the much harder questions we wrestle with when life doesn’t go the way we hoped.
Laura talks about spending time in the Word and shares about her miscarriage. We also discuss infertility, grief and the question “What happens to babies who die in the womb?”, as well as what it looks like to trust God when we don’t understand why something has happened. We chat about finding peace in the middle of pain, caring well for friends who are grieving, and remembering that our purpose isn’t dependent on whether we become a Mum, a wife, or achieve the plans we had for our lives. It’s a deep one, but we hope it points you back to the goodness, nearness and faithfulness of God. 💛 Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. 0:00 – Coming Up 0:40 – Welcome & Recap 2:23 – Laura’s Initial Thoughts 2:43 – Troll Comments 4:52 – The July Bible Challenge & Prioritising Time in the Word 12:19 – Hospitality & Opening Our Homes 20:00 – Christa’s Highlights from the Episode 22:07 – Is There a Reason for Suffering? & How God Brings Good from Suffering 24:22 – Purpose & What We Believe About God 28:48 – Laura Shares About Losing Her Twin Babies in the Womb 31:05 – Have You Ever Experienced God’s Perfect Peace? 34:33 – What NOT to Say to Someone Who Has Miscarried 37:00 – You Are Still a Mum, Even If You’ve Never Birthed a Living Baby 38:00 – Are Miscarried Babies Growing Up in Heaven? 47:10 – Closing Comments from Christa
