If you are in a season where God may be asking you to leave comfort behind, this conversation is an encouragement to trust that His call is never without purpose.

And through all of it, we talk about God, faith, and healing. Because grief doesn’t mean you’ve lost your faith. Sometimes it’s right in the middle of the pain that you discover just how close God really is.
