Episode 225 - Wrestling with God in Grief with John Onwuchekwa
How do you find your way back to faith when grief seems to tear it apart? For Pastor John Onwuchekwa, losing his brother Sam sent him down a path that he never expected.
Having spent his whole life teaching others about the goodness and power of God, John found himself questioning the very foundational truths he so often preached.
Grief made him feel like a liar. But he slowly began to see that it was in the wrestling that these truths and others he hadn't learned, could be found.
Through community, honesty with God and persistence, John traveled the road back from what seemed like a lost belief into a deeper faith than he ever could have imagined.
In this episode, join Davey as he and John talk about the importance of others walking with us in grief, the wrestlings that can come out of loss and why hindsight is better than insight.
If you are finding yourself drifting off the path of faith in your pain, this conversation will encourage you to find your way back.
