34 | Redemption in our Marriage and Family after Losing our Daughter | Steve + Heather Colvin

Join us for a conversation with Steve and Heather Colvin about how the Lord brought healing and redemption to their family after losing their daughter, AnnaJoy.

Through a testimony of radical transformation in their marriage after AnnaJoy passed away, Steve and Heather founded a nonprofit ministry called AJ's Place: A Foundation of Hope. They help families afford memorial stones for their babies who have gone to Heaven too soon.

In this episode, we discussed:

  • How the Lord wants you in complete freedom in your healing
  • The lies we believe when we are grieving
  • Satan and how he exploits our trauma and loss against us
  • How can God be good if He doesn't seem to be good to me?
  • 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
