Turning Tears into Testimony - Overcoming the Loss of a Child:: Emily Porter :: {Episode 292]

Turning Tears into Testimony - Overcoming the Loss of a Child:: Emily Porter :: {Episode 292]

"I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. I will consider all your works and meditate on all your mighty deeds." Your ways, God, are holy. What god is as great as our God?" Psalms‬ ‭77‬:‭11‬-‭13‬

Today's storyteller reminds us that in the midst of deep grief and sorrow, we must remind ourselves of the truths of God.

Emily Porter, from our community group in Jackson, Mississippi, shares her journey of walking through her son's heart diagnosis of bicuspid aortic synopsis when he was only a few weeks old to the unexpected loss of her son at the age of sixteen. You will find Emily incredibly encouraging as she beautifully reminds us God never changes; He is not only good but also kind; and it's okay to hold joy in sorrow.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN:

- As the great Redeemer, God is in the business of turning your tears into your testimony.

- Your love for God can't be situational.

- It's important to choose joy and love every day even if you have to create it.
